Girth Belt ?

[Mottrex]

For a future project..
Yeah another Fett this time ESB variant, so I recently acquired this Girth/Cinch belt and wanted your thoughts on what to do should I re braid it or keep as is ?
Its vintage horse dressage attire and although looking gnarly adds to the charm and comes complete with OG Patina.
I am currently rebuilding my EE-3 after a dog incident left it in two pieces but not a problem to fix.

Heres a photo, i am thinking the braid is a little thin all the pics I have seen seem a little thicker ?

Its a size 34 in length so ideal length.

The girth belt is a twisted mohair version (similar to this one HERE on Amazon), as opposed to a braided nylon version like you have there. You can find them out there still, even ones that are already the appropriate ESB brown. Man of War also makes a girth belt if you would like to look into that as well.

Cool thanks for the clarification on the braid and the link.

I'll be sure to check out MOW too.

Honestly I would get one from a horse shop and dye it yourself. The MOW belts are not very accurate.

I've wondered this myself, I chose to get an actual horse belt because they are easy enough to get still and they haven't really changed much over the years.

So I might as well spruce the buckles and re string then with correct braid ?
