How To.. wear the Pugio and Gladius (belts, fasteners)

[Magnus]

And here is something...if we're having issues drawing the pugio when it hangs vertically, I seriously doubt that the problem was never encountered in antiquity. If it was, how do you figure (anyone) that it was fixed?

Every weapon that I know of is always situated on the body where it can be easily accessed based on body mechanics.

And I have stubby arms...so reaching over the front of my body while in armour I can barely grab the thing...pulling it out is a chore, and that's mounting the pugio so it's even with the frogs.
