I paid around $130 12 years ago for my occidental. You can still buy the
same one for $150 today. Yep, they are the burgundy colored ones. Of
course today, they represent a more weathered brownish tone from years of
Pacific Northwest liquid sunshine. I hung them up a couple of years ago
because my business needed an owner and not a carpenter. Would I buy them
again? In a heartbeat. Hands down, Occidental has the best tool belts
made. Period. YMMV.

Me too. See my review of my occidental belt on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00002250X/qid=1095799741/sr=1-4/ref=sr_1_4/002-4472653-5788036?v=glance&s=hi

Have you seen the new Contractor Force Tool Belts
(www.toolbeltsupply.com)? They have a unique patented molded
air-channel support for those of us who need a super comfortable belt.
When I was installing windows for a living the leather belts or even
the basic padded belts were no comparison.
