Greetings WW2AA!
I dug through my garage this morning, and found a pair of USMC leggings that belonged to my neighbor. While they are a farb for an army impression, they'll make decent stopgaps untill i get proper army leggings.
The main problem is that the laces are not serviceable. The right lace is severely worn down with traces of dry rotting, and the left one is snapped in twain. I need to find replacements. I tried WPG, but they ran out of stock on the NOS laces, and ATF only stocks leggings. My searches on google gave me just the leggings or out of stock listings for laces.
So to put it simply, does anyone know where can I find replacement laces for the USMC leggings?

the USMC leggings use the same ones as the Army ones. I found some on e-bay not to long ago and bought myself a few extra sets. try there.

newcomer- Beware that USMC leggings use the shorter early lace as opposed to the longer later army legging lace. You can use a longer lace but will have an extra 12-14 inches to stuff down the legging.

I have an original set of both the USMC leggings and the Army leggings and they both have the same length laces (laces are originals on both as I purchased them strait from 2 different WWII vets and they never had replaced them that they could remember
