 In the [[scaism:society for creative anachronism|SCA]] sumptuary laws are relatively simple, determining mostly what crowns and coronets can be worn, as well as restricting white belts and baldrics to the Order of the Chivalry. Restrictions of heraldic display, particularly of the badges of various orders and Peerages, also fall under the aegis of sumptuary law.
