The M-1956 load carrying system was developed and later issued in the 1960s, right in time for the war in Vietnam. The design set a precedent for future US Army gear in being able to swap pouches on and off freely for quick changes in operational needs. This is done with the addition of ALICE clip mountable pouches. Attaching and customizing a harness to fit this belt is easy as it is covered in 3 layers of eyelets all the way around the belt. The front 'buckle' is a simple bronze hook that you can wear or take off very quickly.
The M-1956 would be replaced later by nylon variants similar in design, but you can't go past that iconic old school canvas look. Rock one as your next hunting belt or embrace the suck at your next airsoft game!
