Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Web Belt

The Canadian Forces 64 Pattern Web Belt is a component of the 1964 Pattern Individual Load-Carrying Equipment used by the Canadian military during the latter half of the 20th century. This belt is constructed from sturdy olive green cotton webbing and features a metal buckle designed for durability and secure fastening. Adjustable to accommodate various waist sizes, the 64 Pattern Web Belt served as the foundation for carrying essential gear, supporting the attachment of pouches, canteens, and other field equipment via integrated eyelets and hooks. The design emphasizes functionality and adaptability for a range of operational environments. Issued from the mid-1960s through to the adoption of later systems, the 64 Pattern Web Belt is characteristic of the Canadian Army’s standard issue equipment during this period. Given its widespread use, it remains a notable example of Canadian military load-carrying design from the Cold War era.
