Kirk, Waterman, Thank you for the leads on the belts. The belt write up from S&S seemed interesting, but S&S does not supply any images of the belt and I've never been a fan of buying something sight unseen.

It has good reviews, seems nicely constructed and looks bad ass in a Breaker Morant kind of way. Not sure if I like its light color finish though, I will most likely darken it to a deep browner tone.
