Iron Heart Belts

[Giles]

Yesterday, just did not have time to update stock.  They are there now….

I got my new IHB-02 in today. It's unbelievable. Super thick, but super comfortable. I got the natural one (if u were wondering).

[zhivago]

good choice

[JCar2666]

Just got my IHB-02 in as well today.  Everyone was right.  This thing could beat the living shit outta someone.

^you should see the 03

[JCar2666]

I'll have to pick up the 03 if I really wanna kill a man

All 3 belts are tremendous

[JCar2666]

This belt was my first IH purchase and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it got here.  From UK to Boston, MA in 2 days.

G&P are tremendous when it comes to shipping

Those of you who are looking for a punch set, I just got this one to shorten my IH belts

Shortening my belts was a little more involved than Giles' video, because I only shortened two inches

I had to punch a large hole over the second screw hole, cut the belt at the center of that circle, then use the part of the belt holding the buckle as a stencil. Used the punch to score the leather twice, then punched the holes. All in all, took a couple minutes, but it's not as easy as taking the cut off piece as a stencil

My knife is also a lot sharper than Giles' Exacto knife, so I only had to slice once

[JCar2666]

Excellent info to know.  Started wearing my IHB-02 today.  I'm a size 33"-34" and I bought a large.  It fits exactly like I hoped.

[DougNg]

Yeah, that sounds about right. I wear a 31" and have a large belt, hence the shortening

Sweet sweet indigo transfer from my IH-634S-B to my IHB-02

Looks good! Mine's the same. Loving it totally! IH belts are so well-built that I reckon I can even enjoy it till I kick the bucket.

I'm thinking I'll have this belt til my days are numbered as well volcano.  This Iron Heart stuff is some seriously tough shit.

[Giles]

Just remember to occasionally test the screws for tightness.  If loose, undo completely and put some Loctite or nail varnish onto the thread and rescrew…..

you surely can. my IHB-02 tan have been worn daily 7 times a week only once in a very rare occasion I'll switch for a day but the belt is very durable and still going very strong. one of the most solid belt I've laid hands on.

but I'm wondering, how many oz are the IH belts? the IHB-01, IHB-02 and the IHB-03. saw a few asking how many oz they are but there seems to be no answer.

[JCar2666]

Call this crazy but couldn't you just roll up either belt and weigh it on the scale?

outside at the moment but having the luxury to chill at a cafe. don't have access to weighing scales. furthermore, when they said oz of the belt, isn't it thickness they are talking about? else those with 28" can have 9oz for the same belt while the 40" can have 14oz? kinda confused over here.

[scroogen]

1oz = 1/64th Of an inch thickness.
