Very cool! And in keeping with the retro look, the model appears to be wearing a reproduction of a WWII German Mountain Troops Anorak. :-0
That is a beautiful looking belt, pity it’s out of my budget range.
Mine too. I’m surprised no one domestically has done something like this.
Same here. I hope someone makes one soon after seeing this. Great looking belt!
An equipment belt is a bit more than I need, but, the add-ons are way cool. Any reason why a person couldn’t hang the goodies on one of their EDC belts?
No
There is only one, but significant reason: if you are wearing something long or insulated, especially with backpack, it’s pretty complicated to reach things hanging on your belt, that holds your pants in place.
And, of course, you can quickly take the whole thing off and put it away or hang it over your shoulder like a bandolier.
Of course. However, not much call for long and insulated here in the SE Texas, and most of the time, any backpack I am using is riding clear of my waist. My thought was to use one of their EDC belts as an Equipment belt.
I could stand to hear more info about that anorak.
It looks like German Gebirgsjager anorak M42, hard to say, who made this replica, there are plenty of makers. Personally, I would prefer it in Eichenlaubmuster B camo pattern.
Hi all: As an American leather crafter, I can share some of the rationale why I personally haven’t made something like this cool, useful and elaborate system.
1. I’ve never personally had the need for one, so the “need state” is not on my radar
2. no one has asked me to – so Ive never been challenged with having to design one
3. its a big investment of time and effort to design and test something like this – see#1
4. it’d take a bunch of work to find suppliers for all the bits: utility items have to be “just right”
5. my customer base isn’t calling for things like this
thats why!

I’m not sure I could get a holster and mag/speed loader pouch on it.
