The belt is also great quality. It's finished on both sides and when I showed it to someone who used to make saddles and other leather goods, they estimated it at $45, so it definitely doesn't come across as a costume belt. As far as SA.. not so much. the buckle holes are too close to the end of the belt, and the metal swivel keeper it comes with looks like absolute ###. I was actually going to return it just because of the keeper, but then cut the leather keeper off an old navy belt and switched them out. It's MUCH better now. I'm a waist size 34 and ordered a 36.. it's a little too short, and I wear it on the second hole, but not worth paying more shipping to exchange it. Also came with a wax coating that rubbed off as I loosened the leather. The whip holder is the kind that won't open unless you push down on it, and there's pretty much no chance of the whip knocking it open. It's not a no-slip, but it's very snug with a 10 footer, and I've been able to walk around, jump, do stairs.. and really no slippage of the whip.
And finally.. one on me.
even though I don't have as much slack hanging off as I'd like.. I think that's how it's generally supposed to look (minus the jeans). I couldn't find any real review of the WSP stuff prior to buying, so hopefully this'll help someone else out a little down the road.
Also, anyone think it's worth exchanging the belt for a longer one? If I ordered the Todd one the way he suggests, how much slack would I end up with?
. Still a good buy, for what it's worth. I hope it serves you well, and you're right - the belt doesnt LOOK costumey which is a plus!
