US Fabric & Webbing

Last Updated: July 29, 2008


All materials on this page are either special order and custom matched to unissued original samples or they are original US Government items. These are not dyed in Mom's bathtub with RIT. All products are professionally dyed and treated by industrial fabric mills and finishers.

Availability:
Due to the difficulty in obtaining fabrics in the USA anymore, we only offer a limited variety for sale. If you only need scraps for repair, feel free to contact us as that we may be able to handle.

Patterns:
We do not sell patterns because we have no efficient way to copy or produce them. Additionally, we do not have the time to spare to deal with the hours of "how do I put this together?" phone calls.

 

Fabrics

Original Garrison Cap Braid, Infantry Blue, 40 inch strip:
We have a roll of unissued, original WWII production cap piping. This can be added to WWII garrison caps that lack piping or that have less desireable color trim. The spool is marked Braid, rayon, cord-edge, Infantry Type VIII, Stock No. 27 B-1160, dated July 1942, Phila. Q. M. Depot. Sold in 40" (102cm) strips. Enough for one cap.
$6.00


US Army 8-oz. Twill, Olive Drab #3:
If you need scraps for repairs that can be handled. But we do not have any yardage available.
Before some genius asks for enough scraps to make a jump uniform, let me clarify:
By "scraps" I mean pieces no more than 12-18". Enough to patch damaged uniforms...
Sold Out


Tanker Jacket Repair Kit:
Mustard-green wool knit used for Tanker Jackets. This fabric was custom woven for ATF and is color-matched from original material. Please note, that no two originals match one another! Each kit is enough fabric to replace 2 cuffs, a waistband and a collar on a Tanker Jacket. We recommend you replace all components as it is impossible for us to do any custom color matching for your individual jacket. This is a flat piece of material only! The width and length of the components on different size jackets varies, so we are not able to pre-assemble them. Any competent seamstress or tailor can refit your jacket. Made in U.S.A. One 20"x48" piece.
$25.00


Webbing

Note: It appears that our source for US webbing has gone out of business. Therefore, we will no longer wholesale any webbing (except our older run of 2 3/4 and 3 3/4) to anyone for any reason. Sorry, but until we find a new source, this is the only choice we have. No exceptions.

3 3/4" Type I Webbing:
Type I OD #3. Used on M1928 Cartridge Belts, BAR flaps and M-1 Carbine pouches.
$6.00 a yard


2 3/4" Type I Webbing:
Type I OD #3. Used on M1928 Cartridge Belt flaps.
$5.00 a yard
