     During WWII the U.S. military used cotton webbing and canvas materials to produce personal equipment to be used in the field by it's personnel. The predominant color of the equipment from that era was OD #3, a light olive/tan color.  Items produced before the this time were generally pure Khaki.  Some items produced in the later WWII time period started appearing with darker OD #7 shades.  Some items were even produced in a mixture of light and dark OD shades.  This later WWII gear is known as "transitional gear' for obvious reasons.  The images below may at times not show an accurate representation of actual color shade of the item.  Our Army equipment is reproduced with quality and durability in mind with no sacrifice for historical accuracy.

Proudly American Made!  Our socially responsible U.S. Army Web Gear products are priced very competitively and offer the highest quality. All components are assembled and sewn in the U.S. on our own 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. Some high stress areas were sewn using a thread that 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 new/old stock.  Our web gear will withstand rigorous field conditions and in some cases perform better than original web gear items, without sacrificing authenticity.   When comparing us to other suppliers please remember that our products are made to last and we have a long list of satisfied customers that swear by our products.
