The suede used is not like other materials and will not "soak up" that much sweat. I sweat quite a bit when training and my 13mm sole leather (sans suede) belt actually stains very slightly whereas the 10mm suede does not. I give it a quick brushing every few weeks and it looks nearly new.
No problem. Don't underestimate your potential or the need for a good belt. Heck, we spend hundreds (if not more) on leather jackets. A $100 - $150 belt will last you a lifetime.
The Fedora Lounge is probably not the first place I would go to for advice on weightlifting belts! That being said, I used to do some competitive bodybuilding and powerlifting in my younger day and still train 5 - 6 days per week at age 60. I have owned and used a lot of belts in my day.

We share similar temperament. At the very least I would have to re-direct my energy to blowing off a few hundred rounds at the range or perhaps shooting for a PR in the bench or deadlift.
You fellas have way more patience....and tolerance.... than me...........
I have three GW jackets that I purchased used. I really like them all but no way in hell I would wait even two years, much less four. Too many things can change in that period of time. YMMV

I can't help you on your personal choices but this comment made me chuckle. I am sure most or all of us have heard similar comments!
Good luck re. your Bootlegger...this is my favorite leather jacket.
It would be nice to see photos at different angles (side, back, etc) but based on your posted photos you posted I would say the jacket fits you very well.
As the previous poster indicated, the A-2 is not the ideal jacket for an athletic physique. Being a former competitive bodybuilder, I...
The ANJ-4 usually comes out when air temps (not counting wind chill) dip below 15 F (-9 C). This morning it was 13 F in NE Ohio so mine got it's first wearing of the season. A couple winters back it seemed like I was wearing it nearly every day for a few weeks.
I wholeheartedly concur Cornshucker77. Over the years I have frequented many forums on wide variety of subjects such as bodybuilding, firearms, knives, flashlight, lawn equipment, etc. This forum (along with an MX-5 Miata forum I frequent) are the only ones I regularly visit these days.
