It's a heavy woven nylon or ??? belt, a little over an inch wide. It
has a little brass end to keep it from unravelling, but has no hole in
it for the buckle. Instead the end of the belt slides into the plain
brass buckle and sticks there (a little transverse rod in the buckle
squeezes on it when you try to pull the belt out of the buckle, and it
doesn't come out until you grab both ends of the rod with your thumb
and index finger and pull it back.)

It's good because the same belt works while you loser, or gain,
weight.

It comes in olive drab, khaki, black, dark blue, and maybe other
colors.

We called them web belts in the 1970ish Marines.

1300+ folks on Ebay still do---

I never heard the term before, but you and 1300+ ebayers can't be
wrong.

I think I did, but I'm not positive I ever heard the term army belt.
I may have just made it up.

Thanks a lot, Jim. Just what I needed to know.
