Look through other threads and stickies at the top of this section on how to dye it correctly. Goodluck

These are all showing as unavailable.

Anyone have a link to a trusted supplier? I'm in the UK but don't mind shipping costs.

Reason I say trusted, I got scammed last week (first time in over 25 years of web use) when buying from US. Site has since gone and so has my money lol.
I can take the hit on the money, is what it is. Just need that belt

Thanks mate, I did have them as one of my shortlist sites. I'll go with them.

btw say I'm 36" waist. What size belt do you guys go for to account for armour, dye shrinkage etc for it to have the required gap?

So here is what I am doing...You want the girth to sit partially on your abdomen and partially on your cod/ kidney. I took a dimension at this location and it is 40" for me. Now, the gap has to be 3-4 inches, so take away 4" and I'm on the market for a 36" girth belt, buckle to buckle. I have heard that there is a possibility that they'll shrink as the dye dries, but I'm not sure if it's worth buying a larger belt to accommodate.

Boochman thanks for that. I'm not going for screen accurate dimensions at the moment, so that advise has been perfect. Cheers

Great! Glad I can help; I'm looking forward to putting my own advice to the test too! Adam from Adamshorsesupply is probably wondering what the hell is going on with all these random girth belt purchases...

I was on a random forum the other week, one guy replied to another "the Boba Fett guys have have the monopoly on these!"
Think it was some military collectors site

Reply back from Adams horses for my order, they are not doing international at the moment.

Any other confirmed retailers people have used?
