Military Spec Brown Web Belts?
I know there are several vendors here who sell the brown web belts. But, does anyone know where you can find them that are heavy duty or made to military spec's rather than the light weight costume type? Thanks.
I get mine for Indy/WWII reenacting/regular wear from my friendly neighborhood surplus store.
Or, try, www.sportsmansguide.com, www.cheaperthandirt.com, www.brigadequartermaster.com, or other various and sundry surplus gear sites.

After making due with Kakhi for years, I stopped by the PX the other day. As a civilian I can't shop at the PX proper, but in the same building there was store that sold current issue military gear. Low and behold what did I find but a brown web belt. I was much more excited than I had any right to be. They are out there If you can find them.

That's a thought, it's kind of 'Sheriff' BrownAlkali Jones wrote:Hey All,
I got my brown web belt at an Army Surplus Store, but I think civilians or cops wear them. They had huge rolls of "belt fabric", cut them to length, put the buckle and tip on, and voila, a belt!

Did you get the brass tip for the end too?
The brown belts are hard to find, but I found some great Raiders brown webbing belts at soldiercity: http://www.soldiercity.com/brown-web-belt/p/246

Web Belt Buckles
There are the US made solid brass versions, and the Taiwan brass plated aluminum versions. Aside from being the more period accurate, the solid brass buckles are much more durable than the brass plated type found in many surplus stores and online.
