Merit badge holder (4)

I believe the answer is:

sash

'merit badge holder' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sash that I've seen before include "Type of sliding window" , "Item of clothing - frame for glass" , "Band - scarf" , "Sliding window frame" , "Girdle" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the USA Today and the King Feature Syndicate.
