Ok, I bumped into Trooper Tailor in my local Walmart, on my way to buy duck cloth/canvas to make myself a belt. He told me that Matt, aka TE said the belts were actually made out of 3" webbing. TE2 also supposedly uses webbing on some of his costumes.
Can anyone confirm this or deny this? I don't wan't to make a belt out of webbing if its going to turn me down for my elite status. And if it is confirmed that webbing was used, then lets change the requirements for the sake of accuracy?
