Canvas Belt Edges

[batninja]

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.

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.
