That will start a fire if you hold the torch on there long enough.  You need to get the wood really really hot.

These were for use by American soldiers fighting in the Korean war.  They were made in four sizes: small, medium, large and small long.  

 

On a whim, I decided to order the small long.  Sure enough, measured it, waist 27-31 adjustable (and I am right in the middle of that range) with length 38” and the cool part is… they already had a factory hem, which was very well done and I was able to keep by shrinking them to size (34”).
