To further customize this already dope belt, I took off the rank bar because its too long and its placement was weird. I also boil dyed it with Rit Back to Back Kit. Rolls Pretty Good. Belt 133/150.
I received product 113/150. It looks great and held up well. Everyone was very complimentary. The quality of the material is good and the presentation of the item is immaculate. It truly feels like you have bought a limited edition item.
The hiccup I ran into involves the Black bar section where stripes are intended to go. The bar looks entirely too long for the belt and even covered some of the Kanji. In the end, I ended up taking a seam ripper and completely peeling the black section off. I may have a tailor sew a new smaller bar on one day.
If you intend on getting one now or if they run this again, order one size up, as otherwise you may end up with the black bar tied INTO the knot. This course of action will lead to the belt hanging quite low, so it's a bit of pick your poison on it.
Or you could be a better collector than I and just keep it as a display piece.
