Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Does anyone know where to get replacement webbing. My boys are outgrowing their Centennial Boy Scout Web Belts (just getting older-both are pretty thin) and I was wondering if anyone knows where to get O.D. 1-1/2 replacement webbing. The stuff seems thicker than some. I hate to replace the whole belt when I just need to get some webbing. Link to post Share on other sites
emb021 16 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Have you tried calling National Supply?? Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would not even know who to call or a phone number? Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Our National shop says you have to buy a whole new belt. That seems pretty silly for a web belt thus I was wondering if anyone has a proper webbing supplier. If you actually cut your belt properly so "brass touching brass" it means if a waist gets bigger you have to buy a whole new belt...which is not thrifty. Link to post Share on other sites

Really? When I was a scout and used the old web belt, I made sure to have about 6 inches of spare material. And I never had a problem with adjusting my belt to have "brass touching brass". I never outgrew my old web belt. Used the same one for almost my entire time as a Boy Scout. I finally replaced it before I aged out with a Philmont leather belt. Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I tried that with the new web belt--leaving extra material on the buckle side but because of the thickness it doesn't seem to lay right. Could be I am an idiot as well. If it was the old style belt--no problem. It is easy to get replacement webbing. I wear them all the time instead of leather--but the Centennial is pretty thick stuff. Thanks though. Link to post Share on other sites
Peregrinator 85 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Something like this (via Google)? http://www.countrybrookdesign.com/1-1-2-5-yards-olive-drab-green-nylon-heavy-webbing.html Oh, never mind -- you need cotton. In any case I'm sure a Google search will turn something up. You might have to buy in quantity though.(This message has been edited by Peregrinator) Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 I saw that too. It looks a little thin. But may be worth the gamble for the price. Link to post Share on other sites
Tampa Turtle 1011 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 Or then again just buy another dang belt! Link to post Share on other sites
Peregrinator 85 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 You might be able to get a belt with a D-ring buckle for cheaper than the centennial belt, then just replace the buckle. Link to post Share on other sites
