batninja Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The CRL currently reads: "The soft belt proper is made of canvas, or material with a canvas covering. Size must be 2.75†(70 mm) to 3.25â€(83 mm) wide and not wider than the plastic portion of the belt. The color is be white to off-white." No mention is made of what the edge of the belt should be, but all the ones I've seen used a whip stitch or zig-zag stitch along the edge that, over time, allows the belt to fray, and in my opinion, looks...unprofessional. ---------- I'm okay with the 'accuracy-for-the-win' idea, but if I sew my belt with a cleaner look, would this ruffle any feathers as far as the 501st is concerned? I'll post a pic later today of what I'm thinking of doing for my own belt.

bearings[TK] Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 I just sewed mine using several folds, so there are no raw edges visible. I don't think its a problem to have clean edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
