What type of Darth Vader leather belt was used in ESB???

[Darth 123]

Hi,

I´m in the process of modifying my ESB Vader belt, I´m not sure what kind of leather belt to use.
Was it specially tanned or was it just black?
Was there any stiching on the border?
can anybody help me?

thanks and regards,

Darth 123

It was a world war II belt and it was dyed black. If you look closely in many shots you can see brown coming through. There is a border top and bottom like ANH. If you want an authentic one expect to pay big money.

So you think that the same belts wich were used in ANH were used in ESB?
