IN SEARCH OF A WEB BELT

[Indiana Croft]

As it states, long time ago I bought a web belt from SEMS inc. I believed it to be a reproduction of the military web belt. The difference was it was heavier than Straight city’s, which I recently purchased, their nice but thin.

Once there was a link which how I bought it.

Now I need help to see if anyone knows what I’m talking about.

I’ve done a search and have come up empty handed.

Here's a link to a thread on the current US service belt manufacturer: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=70393

Thank you I will check them out.
The one I oh so long ago was a replica of a military belt.
Don’t know why it was a replica, but has the name Sems inc 1942 on it.

Whilst there's so many offering khaki web belts here's a question...who does the best Raiders style brown web belt?

I'm after one so thanks in advance for any advice or help

Well after several attempt with my PP I final got it to work.
I've spoken with vendor and he say they are thicker, so I order one in Kahki, and well see.
I'll post more info when it comes in.

BUT if anyone know what I'm talking about regarding the SEMS Inc. 1942 belt please chime in, started this little thread in search.

Straight city has nice belts, I bought several recently, just seem thin to me.
And the solid brass buckles are nice, but three that I bought couldn't hold up after my fuming attempts.
Bought some nice one off evil bay, and only after an hour of fuming, theu=y had the dulled brass look I wanted.

Many, many thanks Indiana Jeff and Distantpeople for the links and response to my question. This was exactly what I was after!

Thanks again guys

Well I just got in the belt from Aircorpcamo.

And it's the same thickness as the ones from Straight city. See the below pic.


Now I maybe splitting hairs on thickness, but the Sems Inc. 1942 is just a tad thicker, and the roller seemed to grip better.
But alas, I may never find it again, if ever I do, I'll be buy a lot more.


Stay safe, Croft
