    haha, i forgot to go over that!

    though people think of me as a germaphobe, i haven't washed my SExIH03's for roughly 1.5 years of occasional wear. just cold rinses every 4-5 months or so.

    My philosophy is that i avoid "soiling" my hands (or any other body part thereof) for the reason that i do not see why i should have to suffer the effects of a common cold virus. I really hate feeling like crap, not wanting to do crap, and being crappy towards others because of my crap feeling when i could have just not touched that door knob or stair handle.

    So in essence, i just avoid germs because i have learned my lesson. i do not feel like getting sick and i do not want to feel horrible for 2-3 weeks especially during those stressful times at school!

    when it comes down to it, i can get down and dirty (pun intended)  😉

      I wash my hands 10-15 times a day as well. Of course, at my job, avoiding 'germs' is quite impossible.

        ah, i also forgot again to put in a key word(s).

        I avoid germs as much as i can. i know it is impossible to avoid all germs. hell, germs live on the skin! I learned this the hard way ever since i got a staphylococcus infection.

                ALD is that big in The Netherlands?.. Weird… No one (but me) wears that stuff here. I don't like their new stuff though - assembled in China... I still proudly wear my overdyed Prescotts, MiF (made in France). Gonna have 'm tapered slightly. I'll probs wear them lots more that way. They're 18 months old and looking purdy good already, though...

                Which one(s) do you wear?..

                Obligatory pics btw:

                  yea, especially now they have washed and slim fitted jeans it's very popular here. I still think the prescott is really nice (made in france!). I wear only the prescotts as the royal and frontier pants dont fit me really well. I liked the non selvedge prescott the best.

                  What belt is that Seul?

                  And yeah the duffel is great! Finally a REAL bag to take to the gym, work and such! I'm gonna ritually burn my old sucky backpack (from my highschool days, 13 yrs in use) in my chimney one of these days! Prbably gonna give a nice aroma whehehughugh

                    Well, ALD has gone bankrupt anyhow, have they not?.. Too bad…

                    I buy all my belts from this dude:

                    http://stores.ebay.com/Dangerous-Threads

                    Excellent quality for that price… My black belt JUST is starting to get soft, after about 18 months of wear... I only wear 2" belts as well. Have a 1 3/4 for my shorts, though.

                      Seul, I've just checked out http://stores.ebay.com/Dangerous-Threads . Thanks for the recommendation ! I'm going to buy one for my brother-in-law.  He wears a waist 33 in Levis 501. What belt size should I get him ?

                        I'm a size 32 and I buy the 34. They stretch a bit so a 34 should do. Keep in mind that a Levis = a 1 3/4" width belt… 2" belts won't fit into 'those kind of jeans'...  ::)

                          Phew ! I got lucky cuz I just placed an order for a 13/4", W34. But I emailed the guy (owner I presume – Bob Kitchener) and he replied almost immediately, with the same answer as you Seul. The reason I said "Phew" is because I went with a 1 3/4" belt. My bro-in-law is a skinny, lanky dude (like LandoCal)...he wears his  501s a bit loose, which he likes. No, I'm never gonna convert him to Iron Heart. He makes a good living but has two kids. His wife, my sister -- also works and makes a decent living. Unless you're made of wealth, people with young kids ain't gonna do a lot of Iron Heart -- it's much too expensive. Plus, he's just not into fashion...he doesn't give a shit about it, though he still looks good in whatever he wears. But I'll tell ya what...my bro-in-law rocks Levis 501s better than anyone...they look great on him ! This belt is a gift from me to him -- and it will look GREAT with his 501s ! Thanks Seul !

                              Seul, I ended up changing the order and buying him two belts – brown and black -- in a 1.5", W34. I spoke with the owner this morning, Bob Kitchener -- what a cool dude ! The bro-in-law told me that he prefers a 1.5" to a 1.75". But I've advertised http://stores.ebay.com/Dangerous-Threads to folks at work…and several folks (including my VP !) have put in orders. Hey, Giles...don't worry. ALL of my colleagues at work know about Iron Heart -- so I'm doing great PR work for IH too (I'm pretty much a walking billboard for Iron Heart). It's just that the community of people who'd appreciate Iron Heart is much smaller -- especially in a high tech company full of engineers (nerds).

                                I don't mind spending 300 $ on jeans, but all those bigger denim brands' accesoires are ridiculously high priced… 300 $ belts?.. C'mon now... I either buy from Bob, or have Nicholas from Hollows Leather make me a customised item. Right now I asked him to make me a tan 2", dual prong belt to go with my new boots. Much cheaper and very high quality.

                                  Seul, I haven't seen the Dangerous-Threads belt "live" yet…but they look beautiful and heavy-duty in the photo.  [Arriving this next week !]. But yes…Iron Heart belts are ridiculously expensive. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast. I doubt that the details and the metal (i.e. the IH belts I own use brass) on the Dangerous-Threads compare to IH insane quality levels, but then again...I see your point. Who cares ? It's just a fuckin' belt...and the Dangerous-Threads ones pass the IH outfit test -- they're certainly gonna blend in, age beautifully, look and feel great ! At a certain point..leather is...just leather. All leather belts get a "patina" with frequent wear. And Mr. Dangerous-Threads offers a lifetime guarantee for quality and construction -- that's an extremely confident statement about your product !

                                    All I want a belt to be is heavy, 2" wide, handmade, and DISCRETE.

                                    And trust me Shubz: you'll LOVE the belts. Too bad you didn't get a 2" one, those are reàlly heavy as fuck… I have a 1.75" one for my shorts, and they got soft a lot faster. Excellent belt, though...

                                    27 $ for a 2" belt means you save 273 - hell you can get a pair of Samurais with that!..  😉

                                      simon626, thank you thank you ! I own a pair of IH301S in a W28 myself. I posted pics of myself wearing them a couple of months ago. They are GREAT jeans. Right now I'm jonesing on my SEXIH03BK (Black Cyclist jeans) – trying to break them in. Too bad, Self Edge San Francisco is totally sold out and they'll never make another run. If you like the 301S, you'd probably have dug the SEXIH too -- which SESF quickly sold out of. I reget not buying those.

                                      Here's me walking Lacy this morning. That baby German Shepherd is not mine. His name is "Max", 5 months old -- we just bumped into him during our morning walk. My face doesn't show in this photo but you get a close up of the Black Cyclists. I'm sure you've seen plenty of my face by now -- I think I'm fucking adorable and don't mind a bit if people see my face and whole body . What The Fuck ? If you look good, flaunt it bitch ! I work hard for this shit !

                                        I'm looking at the 2" double hole belt. I assume these fit no prob in IH loops? Do you have experience of them fitting ok with Flat Head loops?

                                          Aye lad, they fit in FH loops. I'm assuming they'll fit in IH loops as well. Can someone confirm or deny, perhaps?.. A 2" belt goes into my IHxSE07BK's but those are a collab jeans so…
