Color matters! When it comes to EDC / CCW leather belts, holsters and pouches - learned my lessons!

If you wear black that's true, I'm wondering how brown leather would contrast against some commonly worn colors

Brown does not "fade into clothing" nearly as well as black does. I had many brown, tan, burgundy, and even "natural" over the years. Some I actually stripped and stained black but most I sold, gave away or tossed.
