You are a little off the beaten military path. All large military posts have a few sewing shops around them that can handle heavy nylon straps and rucks. Some ground pounder thinks he has a better way to carry or load his stuff so he takes his stuff to the shop and has it modified.
He carries it around and if it works his friends ask where he got the work done. They take their stuff to the same shop and also get it modified. After a few more come by the shop owner starts making some up pre-made.
You can do anything with military equipment. The key is will it get the job done. There is nothing as funny as looking at the high speed-low drag team member who got the latest hot item as his stuff falls apart the first time he gets in the field.
Actors can have a wardrobe malfunction but it's not good for soldiers to have an equipment malfunction. They generally come at the worst posible moment.
