An Andorian baldric

In the 22nd century, some members of the Andorian Imperial Guard wore a baldric either over their left shoulder or their right. This Andorian baldric was made of a leather-like material and comprised of two straps (one thick, one thin) connected to a belt.

Thy'lek Shran often wore this baldric, placing it over his left shoulder. (ENT: "The Andorian Incident", "Proving Ground") He was no longer wearing the baldric when he boarded the NX-01 Enterprise in 2161, having left the Guard five years earlier. (ENT: "These Are the Voyages...")

A Klingon baldric

The Klingon baldric was a sash that traditionally went over the left or right shoulder of noble Klingons. It contained the symbol of a Klingon House. (TOS: "Errand of Mercy")

Some baldrics were used to hold knives or daggers. (ENT: "Broken Bow")

Worf was allowed to wear a baldric as a member of Starfleet. He wore his over his right shoulder. (TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint") He removed this baldric from his Starfleet uniform only on a few occasions, including:

When Dax and Worf enter Dr. Bashir's office, Jadzia is wearing Worf's baldric over her right shoulder.

He has also referred to his baldric as a "sash". (TNG: "Conundrum")

A reference to Worf's baldric was present in the script of DS9: "Rules of Engagement", but was omitted from the episode as broadcast.

Gul Dukat was seen wearing a Klingon baldric, which he most likely procured from his captured Bird-of-Prey. (DS9: "Apocalypse Rising")
