Ammo Belt source?

Saw this while perusing etsy. Just curious if anyone can confirm if these would be acceptable or not, since most things on etsy and ebay are sketchy.

Has anyone bought these before or taken a closer look?

I have not bought it, but it appears to be ROTJ based. I think according to RafalFett templates there is a taper at the end with the grommets.

Just went back and looked there is a taper on the ROTJ but the belt you linked looked like the ROTJ SE version.

delta13mike here on TDH makes very nice belts

That etsy one looks pretty decent.

I think it looks pretty good. They also offer ESB and white prototype versions. If you are averse to DIY, this is the next best thing.

For comparison:
I spent about $10 for vinyl enough for 3 belts, $9 for wood, buttons were $3, grommets $4.
Already had hot glue, sewing machine, thread, needles, velcro. So, with some effort, I could make a total of 3 belts for this price, if you don't count my time.

Thanks for the info. That helps immensely to determine whether I want to try it myself or not

Where did you get your vinyl? I had a coupon. It was enough for 1.5 belts and was 10 bucks. I am not trying to call you out I am genuinely curious!

I ended up using some automotive vinyl I got at a local place; Foam & Fabric outlet in Olympia, WA. 54" wide x 36" long (1 yard) for $10.99, so I exaggerated a little. Previously I got some decent but too-light vinyl at Joann fabric store for $9/yd., can't remember the width. They allowed me to return it. Yard goods come in various widths so it will depend. The stuff I ended up using is cloth backed vinyl, not artificial leather, and has a dark brown mottled look.

Nah that is $10. I was able to get a half yard at JoAnne's with a 40% off coupon for about $10 so I think you did great.
