Gonna be getting a printed bodysuit together to go with this, etc etc, but thought I'd give you guys a look at my utility belt. 8 tan leather pouches, with magnetic closures, fully lined, on a nice heavy duty leather belt blank, with a steel "buckle" plate. I think I'll be going with heavy duty snap fasteners for the closure at the back. Lemme know what you guys think!

Other than the fact it sounds horrible, if the hook side doesn't line up right, it chews whatever fabric it can. With a printed lycra suit and a fabric cape, I wanna keep avoid damaging the suit where I can. Even the bits you don't really see. :P

BUT, I don't know what fabric your cape is, so if that's an issue, I can see using the snaps.
