Belt. And I tied in a few leather thong 'belt loops' to keep the mail from slipping under the belt. Might not be documentable, but it works and doesn't show, so I don't much care :D

Hey Eirik, Do you have pre stuffed rattan cored silflex? If so , sell me some. Not at the moment. I'd have to see if I have some 1" rattan that isn't way too small for the siloflex. For the reason stated above, I've been hesitant to commit much to siloflex. The market for it is pretty small now.

First - don't change it. But you will get asked occasionally. Word should spread though. If you got any local chivalry you're friendly with, they should be willing to help let folks know it's just a cool period belt. Out of curiosity, would a silver plaque belt trigger the white belt thought? While ...

I tend to agree that a little tweaking is all that needs done.

I'm good with limits on threads and/or paid-for-stickies, or pay to be on the 'business forum' instead of the free general classifieds.
