Opinions on Herman Oak Old world harness leather for belt?

[RichardJ]

I work in construction and recently got my first heavy duty a belt made out of 13-15oz Herman Oak natural veg tan saddle skirting leather. It’s 1.5” wide and holds up my heavy pants effortlessly without me having to buckle up extra tight. My only issue with this leather is that I often touch my belt with wet/sweaty/dirty hands every time I take a try to the bathroom and I hate how it stains natural veg tan leather. I’ve been thinking about trying Herman Oak Old world harness leather instead.
 

What’s your opinion on Harness leather vs applying some Obenaufs heavy duty LP to the natural veg tan leather?
