Beltman - Brown Belts?
Anyone who has a brown beltman belt, can you post a bunch of pics? Beltman's website doesn't have close enough pics with good angles of the below.
I'm specifically interested in seeing what the black thread looks like on a brown belt, and what the black permanent edge coating looks like on the brown belt, as well. Something that shows the edging up close but still shows the brown belt would be great.
It's a bit of an odd request, but if I'm paying $110 for a belt I'd like to ensure that I'll like every dollar worth of it.

I never figured out doing pictures. However my brown beltman belt with black edges is by far the best belt I have owned in my life and at 60 and carrying for 35 years and on the job, I've gone thru a bunch of belts. I have the kevlar between layers of this one and it will never stretch or sag. The edging and stitching are well done.

You can't go wrong with a Beltman belt.

For what it's worth, I'm confident in the quality. I bought a black one months back based on the recommendations here. It's a great belt, no doubt.
My concern is it seems like the black accents on the brown belt might look rather odd???

No, not odd at all, it sets it off quite nicely.

I have a bull hide belt by Bullhidebelts.com. It is 1-1/2" wide by a full 1/4" thick double ply. This is a very tough belt and I've had it for a year and it seems like it's going to last a long time. Cost about $70.00. Delivery was quick. Sizing was accurate. And they have nice pictures.
