WW2 Canadian Army P37 Cheaters Brace Attachments Pair

The WW2 Canadian Army P37 Cheaters Brace Attachments Pair is an original component from the Pattern 1937 (P37) web equipment set, as used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. These attachments, commonly referred to as “cheaters,” were designed to connect suspenders (braces) to the belt or other elements of the webbing system, providing additional points of support and ensuring a more secure fit for the wearer. Produced from durable webbing material with metal fittings, these pieces reflect the standardized design introduced for Commonwealth forces. The cheaters were an important practical adaptation for soldiers carrying fully loaded equipment, helping to distribute weight more evenly and improve comfort during prolonged use. This pair features the typical construction and markings of Canadian manufacture during the 1940s, making it a relevant example of period field gear. Cheaters brace attachments are sought by collectors and historians for their specificity to the P37 system and wartime use.
