Belts

I completely understand this. It was my "Silly" purchase of the year but I have admired its simplicity for some time. I am not one for much decoration on a belt or anywhere for that matter. I guess we shall see how it turns out…

If you only have one silly purchase per year, you are waaay ahead of me, Lando!

Wishful thinking…

Saw that. It's hot. I wish I could afford that belt, but alas, other responsibilities.

FWIW, I bought the Dry Bones belt after seeing it on you, Lando!!!

Yeah, I am in the midst of a splurge right now. All this IH, my new computer, and a new camera. I am sure there are some things I am missing. Thank god I have been saving for the camera and computer so I will not be taking a direct hit on those items. Glad I could persuade you to cop that DB belt! I love mine but it is on the verge of being too large. I might just have to try to get one a size down…

Can't you resize the belt or punch another hole? Should be possible, no?

I am on the last hole and the end of the belt is so long now that I have to shift the whole buckle as far right as my belt loop allows to compensate… And it is still annoyingly long. It is just to big.  I will post pictures tomorrow if I have a chance.

LandoCal, return it boy ! It ain't worth having something expensive and dear that doesn't fit. A too big belt is just all wrong. I thought long and hard about just suffering (pulling a "Simon626-LA" ) through my recently returned SuperBlack Bootcut (IH 9461) – which would have been hard considering I could not even button the 2nd-to-top-button...but maybe I could have had someone else do it for me...the point is, if somethin' doesn't feel right, it's wrong - -send it back.

For those that are interested in belt buckles this guy is in Austin and makes some incredible glass buckles.  They don't break easily fwiw I have 2 and they have held up very well.  He does custom work too, check him out.

Dchill, I'd be interested in a photo of the belt itself too.  G

[Dchill]

I can do that hectic, proly be tomorrow though.

[hectic]

Sure, whenever, thank you

[Dchill]

I actually use my own tanner belt, the straps he uses are average at best.  I do have one that I want to sell so when I do post pics if you like it, I'll hook you up.

[Giles]

Think I could mod an IH belt to work?

[Dchill]

oh yeah for sure, e-mail him with the width of the belt and he can apply the appropriate hardware to the actual buckle.  Plus if you like a design of a buckle but would rather have it in a different color, he can do that too.  He can also do it in a glossy or flat finish.

[Giles]

Thanks Dchill.  Still umming and ahhing.  G

[Dchill]

my pleasure G.  Yeah these buckles are heavy duty, true IH style.

Shubs, I was talking about my DB Belt being to big. My new IHB-03 fits perfectly. The DB used to fit perfectly but apparently I have lost some weight since I bought it or may have worn it a bit lower when I originally got it…
