'''Valise Equipment, Pattern 1888''' (also known as '''Slade-Wallace Equipment''') was a leather harness used by the [[British Armed Forces]].
==History==
The equipment was designed in 1888 by Colonel Slade and Major Wallace for usage with the first [[.303 British|.303-inch calibre]] rifles, replacing the Valise Equipment, Pattern 1870. It was eventually phased out in favour of the [[1908 Pattern Webbing]].
==Description==
The complete equipment consisted of:
* one waistbelt
* two pouches
* a pair of braces with movable buckles and a keeper
* two greatcoat straps
* one mess tin strap
* one [[valise]]
The leather was coloured according to regiment. It was left [[Buff (colour)|buff]] for [[Rifle regiment|rifle regiments]], and whitened on the outer surfaces for infantry regiments.
