1960s Soviet Army Belt

An old Soviet military belt, hardened by decades of storage and wear. The artificial leather has become exceptionally dense and rigid, almost like a strip of dark wood, while the metal buckle and fittings carry areas of oxidation and a deep, uneven patina.

Originally intended to be worn high at the natural waist, over a uniform or outer layer. The aged strap now holds its shape firmly, and the adjustment hardware has become extremely stiff.

Current circumference: approximately 80 cm / 31.5 in
Total strap length without buckle: approximately 95 cm / 37.4 in
Best suited to approximately S–L, depending on body shape and layering.

A severe, sculptural object marked by time—dry surfaces, oxidized metal and the unmistakable weight of old military equipment.
