webbing styles.

[Highlander]

I can only speak about the 58 pattern kit, and I found this equipment to be very good, the pouches are not just threaded on the belt, they have metal pieces that fit into holes in the webbing, and can be anywhere along the whole length that you wish as the holes are about every half inch.... if this `holes` thing sounds a bit dodgy I can assure you it is not,..its just the best way to explain it,... you really need to see it yourself

the 58 pattern doesn't allow you to hang pouches from the belt though,.. the belt does have two rings towards the back that could be used, they are designed to hang your rolled up cape/carrier

...and the 58 pattern doesn't have chest pouches, you would need to go back to a WW11 webbing to get that, although I think the new UK military kit may have them

dont just think about Army though, also consider Police equipment, especially American belt kit
