There is an extensive website on the colours and restoration of 37 Patt webbing,
Blanco and Bull, which features a page on how to make modern day dyes that closely replicate the WW2 shades
https://www.blancoandbull.com/repro-...-cream-method/ Although it improves the condition and waterproofness of the canvas, this looks time consuming for a piece of webbing. I'd hate to try doing a Truck Tarp!
