A dark blue Air Force elastic dress belt must be worn with the slacks and trousers.  The belt must have a mirror tip and buckle in silver.  Check CAPR 39-1 section 4 to ensure that you are getting the correct belt.  We found the belt and buckle on a separate web site, however we have no experience with this company.  They do claim to have no shipping charges within the U.S. Below is the link we found for that belt.
