Imperator Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Not really sure this is the right place to be asking this, but it is gear related so...Anyone knows were I can get wide elastic webbing (10cm/4" plus), in OD or FG?Anywhere else than having to order a 5 mile long rol from somewhere is southeast Asia...I've googled till my fingers bled (hum... there's a song in there ), but I can't find it.It's that kind of elastic used to make these:http://www.ebairsoft.com/james-speed-triple-pouch-p-3867.html Link to post Share on other sites
heroshark Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 its realy hard to come by unless you can scavange it off something ,1" is much easier to find. Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Yeah, true... I have some 5" wide I managed to scavange from a chest rig ebairsoft sells. But I'm in need of more for some costum mag pouches for 7,62 mags.In the meanwhile I managed to find on ebay an US based seller that has FG 4" wide elastic to sell:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Webbing-Elastic-Waistband-Poly-Army-Foliage-Green-5-yds-/320703342614?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4aab68a816 I'll be getting some.

jal3 Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Nice, i've been looking for that. If you're looking in stores, they don't cater to military gear really, but you can look for the kind of textile they make riding pants out of. Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hum.. riding pants? That would never cross my mind in a million years Is it the same type of material, then?I have found a couple of portuguese textil manufactures that do elastics, and I've e-mailed them inquiring on width available, minimum quantities and colours... Waiting on their reply. Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well, one of the manufactureres has replied, and ist's a no go.. They only do black and white elastic...Another question for you guys. What kind of webbing do you use for covering the edges? Link to post Share on other sites
jal3 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 I haven't held "riding pants material" in my hands, so i don't know for sure. Anyway, i got the elastic webbing from the ebay shop linked: Perfect for M4 pouches etc. It was 15usd shipped iirc. Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator Posted June 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Nice! I don't know if mine has arrived yet, since I'm away from home on work, but I recon it must have. I was a bit afraid that the 10cm/4" would be narrow, but looking at that picture of the M4 mag, it will be perfect for G3 mags, since they're shorter. Link to post Share on other sites
