Epaulets and shoulder holsters?

It seems like it would be, or could be, a good combination.
I think it would help hold the holster in place, away from the neck, and hold the holster in place some.

The shoulder strap of a
Sam Browne belt goes through the epaulette too. Similar idea.
Austrian / Bavarian hunting jackets often have a big button or a pair of buttons and an epaulette to catch and retian the carrying strap of a rifle while walking and climbing.

Since the shirts I have that have epaulets are my cover garments when wearing a shoulder holster, I haven't tried that usage. I could see where you had another cover garment or were OCing it might be useful. But I've never had an issue with my shoulder straps moving around.

I thought that was what they were for. (weapon slings)

Thanks for the history less, Denis. I've got one for my uniform, and I always thought it would look great with a flap holster. Now I know where it came from.
