Re: just had awesome idea for loadout

well the webbing would be standard 1937 pattern webbing with binocular pouches... or at least they look like the binocular pouches i think they were specially made for the home guard, there deffinatly not what the frontline troops or airborne were using.

for gaiters i believe they were wearing putties rarther than gaiters as it was a simple strip of woolen cloth, but its been a while since i watched dads army if your looking for that "authentic" look. in terms of historical i belive putties would be fine

i'll see if i can dig out that pic i had of the binocular pouches

Edit: found it

Re: just had awesome idea for loadout

the belts dont look like the 37 ones they look more like leather and thats why im struggling with the belt

Re: just had awesome idea for loadout

The belts are 39 pattern and the pouches are binocular pouches. They couldn't get any BAR pouches so they used them instead. Ironically I think the bino pouches are harder to find these days.

If you were to look on a Website for soldiers, like us, of fortune , there's a whole section for WW2 Home Guard uniform and webbing. I'd have a look on their site.
