Hey Will,
Thanks. I am having some dye rub off. I used Fiebing's Pro Dye. I am wiping with white cloths to get most of the dye removed. I plan on using resolene as the finish.
Have not heard of Skidmore, can you give me more info?
Also, guy does not want a lined belt, so that will save me a lot of stitching. If that changes, I can always stitch a liner later.
