Chinese Army 1970 Belt

Chinese Army Web Belt

The Chinese Army 1970 Belt is a plain cotton web belt from Chinese military stock, closed with a two-piece metal plate buckle. It holds up trousers and suits a uniform build, a field kit or a surplus collection. Collectors and reenactors putting together Chinese military dress will want it for authenticity. Anyone else gets a simple, hard-wearing everyday belt.

Features

• Woven Cotton Webbing — The strap is a dense cotton weave with a textured, waffle-like surface that is soft against clothing and holds its shape.
• Olive Green Colorway — The khaki-olive shade matches the drab tones of Chinese military uniforms and most surplus field clothing.
• Two-Piece Plate Buckle — A flat metal plate on one end slides into an open rectangular frame on the other, so the belt closes flush without a prong or holes.
• Silver-Tone Metal Hardware — Both buckle pieces are bright, plain metal with no badge or emblem.
• Metal-Tipped End — A small metal fitting finishes the strap end, which makes threading easier and keeps the webbing from fraying.
• Low-Profile Design — The flat buckle sits close to the body and works under a jacket or with load-bearing gear worn on top.
• Genuine Chinese Issue — This is original government-issue equipment from the Chinese Army, not a commercial copy.

Original Chinese Issue

This belt follows the plain, utilitarian specification of Chinese military equipment: cotton webbing, an olive drab finish and simple interlocking metal hardware with no decoration. Original issue kit like this gives a uniform display or reenactment impression real provenance that a modern copy cannot. It also puts an authentic piece of Chinese Army equipment in a surplus collection for very little outlay.
