Product description

One of the most beloved pieces of issued gear the Finnish military has to offer, these belts have been around for over half a century and are still going strong. Rugged, stylish, and tough, and for those of us who've done 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. These are some of the oldest pieces of kit still in use by our military, after the few imperial Russian Mosin Nagant bolts and the mess kits. Nowadays these are used as trouser belts with the M05 uniform.

About 45 mm / 1.8" wide, fits most civilian jeans too!

Size info

The length is the total length, so choose size at least 10 cm / 4" longer than your circumference to be able to close the belt.

Made in the EU, in Estonia.

it's a rather sturdy belt. the main things I dislike about it is the inside edge, it's a too harsh, it digs into my waist. best worn with a undershirt. I was able to fix the problem by beveling the edge of my example. the end keeper also slides off easily, really only a problem is you hang your belt by the buckle. I'm happy with the belt otherwise I don't notice it now that I beveled the inside edge. I quite like the extra leather around the buckle. it's something I'm going to seek out or add to my future belts. no more pinched stomach hair

Very good belts. Arrived recently so naturally I tried breaking them in instantly. They are very comfortable and I appreciate the flap under the buckle, helps my comfort greatly. It's good looking and really functional so far, I may be buying more at some point.
