Army Web Gear and Personal Equipment

The U.S. Army used cotton webbing and canvas materials to produce personal equipment so that soldiers could be as silent as possible. The color of the WWII era equipment was OD #3, a light olive color not pure Khaki as used in WWI. Our Army equipment is reproduced with quality and durability in mind. Webbing and Canvas used in our products is U.S. Mil-Spec cotton. Metal hardware is authentic but modern commercial manufacture and will hold up to the most rigorous field conditions. All of our products were exhaustively replicated down to the stitch. Listed are the items we currently offer:

Our US Army Web Gear is priced very competitively. All components are assembled and sewn on our production floor. The webbing used in our gear is produced in the U.S. according to military specs, dyed to match the OD#3 color and UV-light fade resistant. Our 100% cotton Duck meets U.S. military specs (Not foreign specs), dyed to match the authentic colors and UV-light fade resistant. Our 100% cotton thread is matched for gauge and color. For high stress areas the thread has a nylon core. but wrapped by a cotton shell. All hardware is either commercially made to military spec, custom made to meet our specs, or surplus original stock.

Our web gear will withstand rigorous field conditions and in some cases perform better than original web gear items, without sacrificing authenticity. All items annotated with "WWII Imp Made" are made in-house. Check this page frequently as more items are restocked and introduced.
