Wanted - source of web strapping

[Richard Farrant]

I am aiming this request to guys in UK or Europe. I am in need of a quantity of British 37 patt webbing strapping, 1.25" (32mm) in width, must be khaki / sand, also 2" (50mm) same colour. About 15 metres of the 1.25" and about 12 metres of 2".

Any lead on a UK manufacturer would help, thanks.

Hi Richard,
I have found the USMC or "Dickies" brand, there are many other waist belts makers, to be suitable. Getting the 1-1/4" chape and brass eyelets is a bit harder. There is a chap in England that fits the chapes on but I cannot find his details at the moment, I'll get back to you on that asap.
Cheers,
Dave

Thanks Dave,

Getting the buckles and ends are no problem in UK, also olive green web of this size is around, just the khaki is hard to get. I was promised some but it has not materialised.

Hi Richard,
if you look on ebay there are sellers with kahki webb belts in cotton (more of a faded/sand than British kahki). But with a bit of dirt and petrol they soon look the part.
Cheers,
Dave

Dave,

May have found a source of it in rolls now. Waiting for a sample to check it out.
