I think "web belt" is just fine, but the key is the buckle. from the
postings I see no clue as what its name is.

I have bought such belts in regular stores. I like them, but the quality
of the buckles leaves something to be desired. How well the work is
determined by how well jamming takes place. It depends upon the accuracy
of the slot. The buckle I have is too tinny to maintain good accruacy. I
have had to use vise grips to manipulate the slot.

Well, in the past I have bought mine at Sunny's Surplus, but Sunny's
is no more. Bankrupt. All were good except one where the part with
teeth, that went into the belt, came out from the main part. I bend
the main part and I think that took care of it.

We'll, or I'll see what the quality is of whatever I buy. I may look
in stores around here also, if I see any. But I still needed to know
the name of what I was looking for.

It turns out, I said woven and you all said web, and the words are
closely related etymologically.

Actually my old ones haven't worn out, but I'm too fat for 42 inch.
So sad.
