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.
