The strap-and-buckle surround would be quite acceptable for general use, as, in heraldic symbolism, this shows that the wearer is in the service of, or a follower of, the possessor of the crest displayed. A loyal subject of the Crown, in other words.

Disloyal subjects and colonial rebels ought to go for other options, ha, ha, ha..!
To that point, I wondered about wearing the strap and buckle of a clan to which I claim a connection, however, did not claim any allegiance to the clan head. Rocky said it was unlikely I would be anywhere it was a consideration. Fast forward to now, another related group is working to gain recognized clan status and I am interested in attending the founding meeting in Scotland where this becomes official. I take oaths and such seriously. Am I over thinking this?
