Hi, I'm looking for a proper web belt and I'd like to know the width and thickness of the Wested, Magnoli and Karolian web belts.
I'd be glad if someone could measure them up for me.
Thanks!

I found a nice dirty cheap buckles:
32 mm: https://berotex.net/pl/klamry-do-paskow ... zloto.html
40 mm: https://berotex.net/pl/klamry-do-paskow ... 06-ilosc-1

They are like 50 US cents a piece.

However I have some troubles finding a good web belt in proper Indy colors.

The same company offers polycotton webbing belts: https://berotex.net/pl/553-tasmy-nosne- ... 2+mm-38+mm

I tried 1.4 mm size but 1.4 mm thickness is way too slim and I don't know if 2 mm is any better.

And the polycotton fabric isn't too nice in touch. I have my old khaki web belt which is 100% polyester and it's much nicer.

Therefore I'd like to know the measurements of the most popular web belts offered to see if they are thicker.

Yeah, that makes sense. The original belts were on the thicker side.

I got some web belts on Amazon and though they are very nice, they are too thin for the US Officer's buckle. Just slide through. ](*,) Found some nice Swedish army buckles that go perfectly with them, though and they are brass.
