Belt, and boxes

[jsilvius]

So I'm down to some small pieces of soft goods. What is everyone using for the belt and belt boxes? All the CRL says is:

The belt is ribbed and made from rubber or rubber-like material with no visible buckle or fastening mechanism.

The belt contains 3 leather or leather-like pouches with hard plate and press stud on each flap.

 

So, I'm not sure where to start. Any guidance would be appreciated.

The ribbed material is ribbed rubber floor matting / grooved anti slip matting

A guide on how to construct the pouches can be found here

It's been a few years since making mine but I think I used 2 of the medium sized pouches as the smaller one was to small IMHO .

I used the belt material on the back of the pouches, cut to size and super glued back on to the belt, using the ridges as a way of having a large contact area and also making the pouches sit flush and close to the belt,it's held up for 3 years and I've had no problems.

Look online for First Order TK belts. The material is the same.
