Swiss service belt, leather, surplus

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.
