Possible.. that’s ALMOST half as secure as a shoe lace?

Pads up the magazine for when it digs in your rib cage..... or perhaps it's to prevent the magazine from staining nice police uniform.

I think Bond nailed it.. uniform protection seems likely (plus it matches the uniform). Good one!

It's a mystery

I asked a friend with Indian contacts. We’ll see!

Why?

Some high government official has an idiot brother in law that needed a job. So the BIL sews up magazine cozies in his garage, earns 39 cents an hour, and the official sells them to the government through a shell corp for US$2,497.39 each.

You'd be surprised how many times the above scenario turns out to be the real reason why...

 

[rybread]

Haaa that also seems highly likely!

My friend Rohit in India confirms it is formal military dressage.
