Toyota OEM belt frayed stitching (1 Viewer)

What do you all think about the attached pic? This belt is a few weeks old, all pulleys and alignment of pulleys seem good to go.
>> Toyota parts guy said it seems normal and another belt they had was similar and of course if I wanted a new one to send this one back.

I'm not sure what to think, it does seem like that is just excess after the stitched part of the belt.

Looks like the end of the thread, actual stitches don't look frayed at all.

Thanks for the reply, you're right it doesn't appear to be the stitch is compromised, just some extra material. I'll just let it ride for now.

Looks normal.
