USGI M1951 Webbing - 55 Meters

USGI Cotton Webbing Roll

This is a full roll of US Army M1951 webbing: 55 meters (about 180 feet) of olive drab cotton strapping wound on a single spool. It is the raw material for strap repairs, replacement slings and handles, and restoration work on period US field gear. Reenactors, collectors and gear makers who want issued material rather than modern nylon will find it here in a usable quantity.

Features

• Full 55-Meter Roll — Roughly 180 feet of continuous webbing on one spool, enough for many straps or a large restoration project.
• Cotton Construction — Woven cotton webbing, the material US forces used for field equipment before nylon took over.
• OD Green Color — Olive drab, the standard US military green, so repairs blend in with period issue kit.
• M1951 Designation — The M1951 name places this webbing in the early-1950s generation of US Army field equipment.
• Original Maker's Label — A printed paper tag attached to the roll identifies the webbing type and manufacturer, with the roll length marked by hand.
• Genuine US Government Issue — USGI, meaning it was produced for and supplied to the US military, not made later for the commercial market.
• Tight, Even Weave — A dense flat weave that cuts cleanly and holds stitching for sewn straps and loops.

Issue Specification

The roll came from US military supply and still carries the manufacturer's label it shipped with, which matters to anyone documenting provenance for a collection or display. Cotton webbing like this is what period packs, belts and slings were built from. If you are repairing or recreating early Cold War gear, matching the original fiber and color is the difference between a repair that disappears and one that stands out.
