Continuing Belt Problems

[Texas Aggie]

OK, I will admit this is one of those things that drives me crazy, but for the majority of others, it must not. Either that or I'm the only person in the world that sweats heavily all over. I apologize to those that think this is stupid, but it really bothers the crud out of me.

2 weeks ago, I posted about belt stains on my knickers. I thought they were caused by the cheap quality belt I had. So, I went a week ago and got another leather black belt, hoping the dye was better saturated. Well, it was worse: instead of spot stains, it was all over the belted part. That was the only time I wore the belt, but the good thing was spray and wash got the majority of that belt's stains out.

So, I called Honigs, who didn't have their vinyl belt in, but assured me the patent leather belt would work fine with no stains. I wore it on a chain crew last Friday without incident, but I didn't sweat much at all. Saturday, the stains were much worse than the original belt, but not as bad as the other one I got. I had hoped that maybe I just hadn't got the other belt's stains out, so I wore the patent leather again today, with bad results.

I realize the belt covers the majority of where it stains and it isn't visible, but the knickers I have now are getting smaller by the week and I was hoping to be able to offer them for sale to a new official next year. Now, they are practically ruined. Further, I can't stand having to deal with those stains after every game.

I will settle right now for a lesson learned and a belt that doesn't mark, regardless of how bad you sweat. Please, somebody, offer me some help here: where can I get such a thing.
