Iron Heart Belts

[crankyfart]

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.

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.

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.

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

@scroogen:

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

How the hell did you come up with that?

Another reason google is slowly taking over the world.

so its not so simple as to just weighing the belt. 

[JCar2666]

I think you should start your own unit of measuring belts volcano.  Aka roll up belt and toss on scale.

[crankyfart]

^ nah we cannot do that. Cos most leather belts sold are measured usually in oz so having your own measurements also wouldn't help.

Actually, I'm very pleased with the IHB-02 Tan but would like to try Tanner Goods leather belts. Thus I need to compare both.

Sorry if I pissed anyone off with my questions.

Tanner good 13 oz belt are thicker than iron heart belts. But no other advantages for being thicker. The iron heart belt is just nice.. I have 17 oz belt and i ended not wearing it often because it is too stiff to wear.

true but i was just looking for alternatives.  anyway suggested to G to consider having a few more designs of belt. hopefully, just hopefully it'll come true. 

and i realised that the "finish" on iron heart belts are so well-done that there isn't much "raw hide" or whatever you call it, around. its all neat and smooth at the edges and the back.

IHB-01. Have it in brown and black. Never thought I'd spend that much on a belt before, now I can't see myself wearing a different belt…

[crankyfart]

^ looks fantastic!
