netslave Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If you're wearing hip armor, you'll use the Brown Belt with the associated greeblies. But if you choose to wear a Kama (Squad Leader), you will use a black belt with associated greeblies. They are both made of a nylon or polypro material. 1.5" butted together to form a 3" belt, with a zig zag stitch in the middle. Here are some nice diagrams made by Billy Haggis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleJedi Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Do we have a color chosen for the belt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Do we have a color chosen for the belt? Coyote Brown is what most are using. These are great diagrams, one thing to note is that the extra large box is actually two pieces. A standard box with an extension on top. That's one detail many haven't noticed yet.

I'd be careful with the coyote brown. It can look a little too khaki green, I guess depending on the maker. I went with this: https://www.amazon.c...e?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And here's my belt. (I'll be fixing that double box last) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netslave Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Here's a 'coyote brown' that I bought from ebay compared to my darker brown belt. Way too green, so just be careful that you know what you're buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netslave Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yeah, that's what I thought, and emailed them about it, but they confirmed. I mean, it didn't look THAT green to the eye, but still... yikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekard Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Jut an FYI, the Large Belt Box from Celebration is broken. It need not be two separate pieces. (afaik). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBXRogue Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 This is the coyote brown that I received. It seems less green than what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleJedi Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Guys, @Darth Robert is making the nicest belt I've seen so far. He is very fast and helpful. Took a lot of time in research and cross checked a lot of different material. Send him a PM if your like me and have no sowing skills and need help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimpleJedi Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 What do you guys think of this for the belt clip? https://www.amazon.com/Seatbelt-Adjusting-Clips-Pack-2/dp/B004YD1VIY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netslave Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 That clip looks really good. Edges could be rounded a bit more. But if opting to use a belt clip like this, how will you attach the thermal/back plate? Snaps on the sides of the belt? Clips? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Need to get the belt layout photos hosted on the forum so the link wont die ever. I also think that belt clip was never meant to be seen so it shouldn't be make or break for anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonewolf1183 Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Be careful to make sure you're ordering "Coyote BROWN" and not "Coyote TAN". The color "coyote Tan" has a green tint to it. Coyote BROWN is a more middle tone brown color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 for the material around the Pringle Can what are we using? Also ive never dealt with belts of this material so how are we mounting the PC,TD, and boxes to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 for the material around the Pringle Can what are we using?

Work Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Drill your rivet pilot hole. Or you could use a soldering iron to poke a hole. May want to put washers in between the rivet and belt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrriynVarek Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Can anyone post a picture of what the inside of their belt looks like with the boxes attached? I'm curious and hoping for some guidance when the time comes to do my own 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanky101 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 best method for poking a hole through the belt is? I used a dremel to put a guide hole in to start the screw. Less likely to crack it and it goes in the right spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saifai Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 are the two parts of the belt overlapping and sewn together or do they just contact at the edges and are sewn together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
