TK-J Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) I recently came across some heavy duty webbing at work, and when I saw it I though it looked perfect for the smaller width ROTJ belt. It is 60mm wide and over twice the thickness of standard polypropylene webbing. I'll be replacing my current 50mm belt with this stuff this week, and will get some more pics up then. Let me know what you think. Edited March 8, 2010 by TK-J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nassik Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 The width is very good and I like the thickness. Is it a white? Off-white? The pic makes it look slightly gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Shawn, you're correct on both counts: I'm wondering about the color and also, to date, you have the coolest use of the beret flash in a signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an off-white. But it has been sitting in a dusty shed for some while. I'll be running it thru the machine a few more times yet. And I just sprayed a sample of it with the white shoe dye paint and there isn't that great a color difference.

Nassik Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 (edited) This material is great! I received two lengths of it today. Thanks for that, J! I compared it to the color of my armor and though it isn't a precise match, it's pretty close. I don't plan on doing anything to it. I'm going to use it as-is. The shiny side will definitely be worn on the inside, though. This stuff is thick! Strength should not be a problem. I'll get my brother in-law to carefully drill out the rivets holding my current belt to my trooper torso and we'll set up this new belt.

I'm yet to put it on my kit, maybe this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
