I was never concerned because never had bearding......until.....made a black tote with white warm/natural...usually use black but did not have any that day and did not want to go out and shop. The body of the purse was fine but the large straps...had bearding everywhere ...since I stitch several rows of straight stitching to strengthen my straps...learned a lesson that day....warm and natural will beard depending on how it is used. I now make sure I have wide belting on hand for straps and black warm and natural...also pay a little more attention to right and wrong side...LOL
