37 pattern Web Belts
Similar problem down under with large Australian 37 Pat. belts. Had a chap join our Military Heritage/Ceremonial group and he was and still is on the "large" side. It took a month but eventually one came up on ebay which I purchased for around the AUD130 mark from memory. $200+ is a bit steep but as they say, "supply and demand" etc. Rod

The average WWII British soldier was a skinny little guy; excepting colonials and Americans who were slightly larger based on better childhood nutrition - so I've been told. Accordingly, clothing and kit came in larger sizes. Skip ahead 70 years, and adults alive today are larger. Some more than others.
In 2003 I drew a set of tall battledress for a ceremonial parade, and our fixer observed the donor must have been a very impressive Paymaster. Even then, the pants were short, and I am not the tallest guy in a room. So maybe the remark about Canadian kit having a higher value is misrepresenting the fact that larger reenactors and guys-who-like-to-wear-what-they-buy, are pushing up the prices?
