The belts are darkened slightly from the natural tan color that I received them using some oil. The integration of the belts is something of my own design, at least the back part as I did not know how to connect things together when the belts are in the backward Z configuration as opposed to the X, so I just sort of winged it but I like the way it turned out. The belts are all quite tight, very tight actually. The throat stitching could have been better in hindsight, but I think it still turned out pretty good. The buckle is modern but can easily be replaced with something more period if and when I get something. The chape is from an HT Viking scabbard.
