We're bringing sexy back – and by sexy we mean a proper reproduction of the Finnish military two-prong leather belt!

• Robust and reliable
• About 45 mm / 1.8" wide, fits most civilian pants too!
• Made in Finland from Dutch leather

Note: The size is the maximum circumference of the belt when closed. The buckle prongs are a solid unit on an axle; they move in unison.

Backstory

As one of the most beloved pieces of issued gear the Finnish military has to offer, the original FDF belts have been around for over half a century and are still going strong. Rugged, stylish, tough… and for those of us who've done Finnish military service these naturally come packed with fond memories of honor and all that.

The Finnish army has used two-prong leather belts like these since WW2, but the real breakthrough happened in the '60s when this became the standard service belt to be worn with the M62 camo suit. The service belt is some of the oldest pieces of kit still in use by our military, after the few imperial Russian Mosin-Nagant bolts (in the infamous TAK85 rifles) and the mess kits. Nowadays the service belts are used as trouser belts with the M05 uniform. Some units have tried canvas belts, but those have not proven to be as reliable as the Real Leather Thing.
