Belts

I'd be willing to bet that if you wanted something bad enough, William would be able to help you out. That guy just seems to have a passion for making clothing. I just bought their watch and a pair of jeans this past week. I might be addicted…

I suspect you're right Anesthetist.
Which jeans did you get? I got a pair of the unborn (raw) Tender 130s from Tenue de Nimes that have stealth stitching. The only trouble is that they shrank a lot more than I expected, and now I need to get my waist down to a 34 or 35 to fit into them.
We need to revive the Tender thread…

I got my IHB-03 buckle back from Terry Dear a few days ago. I bought a belt through the forum but needed to get the belt length changed.
Really pleased with the results and Terry is a great guy to deal with, answered all my e-mail questions and was more than happy to discuss the work with the belt.
The belt is made from 15 oz Oak tanned leather in a natural colour. Hopefully it should age and patina beautifully.
I asked him to replicate the style of the IH strap as closely as possible, I think he has done a great job, even managed to replicate the stitch pattern.

Not to get off topic but I have the 129 slim cut which truthfully isn't very slim. It could be that they are a tad big on me, but I got them on the cheap so I don't mind it all that much. The belt is a beast though, I need to get more pics up.

I would not hesitate to recommend Terry's work.
I am really impressed with the quality of the belt strap. I was a bit concerned that I would not be able to find some one capable of doing the buckle justice and replicating the original strap.
The buckle holes were interesting, Terry did not have the required punch but used two circular punches to replicate the original elongated shape of the IH strap buckle holes. He practiced on some old off cuts off leather to make sure the shape could be duplicated easily.
Thanks again to you guys on the forum for alerting me to Terry's work, before the recommendation through the forum I was blissfully unaware that Terry was the man for this kind of job.

I recently got a belt from Scott Willis (Don't Mourn Organize). I couldn't believe how thick it is.

Siccc. I've been talking to him about getting two belts.
How long did it take you to get yours?

The final decision for the belt was made a few days before Thanksgiving. It was ready on Monday and showed up on Wednesday.
Also, just to be specific, the belt is about a 1/4" thick. Scott told me it's doubled up, natural veg-tanned horsehide from Horween. It's big and awesome.
