Swiss service belt, leather, surplus

14,99 €
Product description

A very high-quality thick leather belt. These are old Swiss army combat belts used to carry kit and of course, being Swiss are just a tad different than most similar belts.

3 cm / 1.2" wide strip of very sturdy leather with an aluminum buckle designed in a way that it can't really break. Some belts have a little hook at the tip to keep stuff from falling out. The Swiss Twist* with these is the way the excess leather is handled when the belt is worn: it's just tucked under the buckle along the belt itself. This keeps the appearance neat without anything sticking out. After some practice, it's a pretty straightforward process.

*They always have some special design gimmicks in their kit.

Condition

Used, and in perfectly serviceable shape. The leather is still very supple, but we do suggest a gentle coat of grease or oil. We can't really see these wearing out in a lifetime so it's more like an investment.

Bought my belt about 4 years ago, and it has held up great to everyday wear. Very sturdy, yet still comfortable. The black paint has largely come peeled off the buckle, but it hasn't stained my clothes, and I like the look of the natural silver metal. Can also double as a tool belt or even a piece of kit if push comes to shove. With the occasional waxing, I expect many more years of service from this belt.

Sturdy & strong enough to lift a bull, so don't rely on these to break when you end up David Carradineing yourself.
