To ensure a high standard of accuracy it was colour matched to an original set of 1937 webbing. The Kay Canvas webbing is a tight weave like the original and is still made on an old BIC factory machine that has been lovingly kept alive after 100 Years. The brass fittings on Kay Canvas webbing sets are die stamped and the press studs have the same pattern as an original WW2.
