I haven't found a way to make them look good enough to sell yet, but I've been saving all of the cores for when I do. Here's what I've come up with so far. I may try adding buckles or beads, but I definitely need to find a way to make them look a little nicer. |

Joshua FitzPatrick wrote: When I wrote "the sheath is the part of the rope that wears the most" I was hoping that it would encourage use of the core strands as that material usually looks great even in old ropes. However I realize that is more difficult, requiring machine braiding to be practical. Wide flat straps made from those soft fibers would be very comfortable. |

I’m also looking into getting metal tips for the ends of the belts |

Going to be out of town soon, so today is the last day to order without having to wait a few weeks for your belt to arrive. |
|
I'm back in town, so shipping times are back to normal which means you will typically get your belt within a week. |
|
I'm currently looking into getting some more colors, so stay tuned! |

If anyone wants to donate rope, please email me at joshua@fitzoutfitters.com |

I can pay for shipping for rope donations |

Still working on getting some new colors for you guys! |
