    those press studs can be replaced.Try your local shoe repair shop or leather goods store they should be able to do it for you.
    "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

      Why not get some of the US ALICE LBE stuff? It's not the best gear in the world and it may not suit everyones needs but it is dirt cheap. It holds up well and can be combined with that '58 pattern and that PLCE.

      It's very easily available and is far far cheaper that that PLCE.

      Pistol belt, new = US$15, used $5
      Ammo Pouches = new, $10, used $5
      Canteen and cover. new US$15, used $5

      There is an endless varity of buttpacks, pouches, etc that can be added.

      Like i said, it's pretty much obsolete in the US forces, but it served well and I don't think it is such bad gear at all.
      No-one, I think, is in my tree...

                    To be 100% honest, you see a lot of people with gucci assault vests and the like, but if you're doing light infantry work your best bet is PLCE (real deal, or milspec reproduction. NOT WEBTEX), and if you're vehicle mounted you want a 42 pattern chest rig

                        This one does see the store link in the top right hand corner. Ebays also full of the stuff although its mostly DPM. Appart from that there are loads of places on the web just type in surplus and plce into google.

                            If you are in reserve cav, you will be seeing an inside of a vehicle, and PLCE is useless in the back of a nissan, as it greatly restricts your ability to get out of the vehicle quickly.

                            However if you are doing recce on foot, PLCE is better than a Chest rig.

                              for some reason the picture wont come up for me, the only one coming up is the hip protector...
                              Well ive just completed my recruit camp there a while back and as far as i know theres no vehicle training untill your a 3star so id say the plce will better suit the type of training ill be doing for the next while.
