Belts

[DougNg]

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?

[LandoCal126 0]

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.

[hectic]

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…

[Guest]

Damn, what a problem to have LandoCal – losing weight without really realizing it ! Trust me, that's not a common problem for 45-year-old women.

[Dchill]

So here are those two Mark Joiner buckles, I never wear the bottom buckle so if any of you guys like it feel free to pm me with an offer.  Hell I'd even sell the top one too.  I'd rather have one in black.

Concrete IH Belts perhaps?
