HWDC Belt Samples

Ok, here we go with the leather and buckle options. The only things not pictured are the double pronged buckles, but they are basically a double pronged version of what you see here. If anyone wants any more/ better pictures taking of anything, I will endeavour to do so, and attempt to find correct lighting.

-The price of the belts is $100 shipped to HWDC contestants, and $120 shipped to none contestants. To pre-order you must pay 50% of the price up front, as I cannot afford to secure your order with my own money.

-The pre-order period begins on Monday the 14th of January, and ends on Monday the 28th of January, which is exactly 2 weeks.

-I am hoping that the belts will be ready to ship at the same time as the MBB's, and I am 99.9% sure that they will be, if not a little sooner.

-If you have ordered MBB's, and would prefer to have them shipped together, that is not a problem, unless you are in Asia, your MBB's will despatch from TSS in Singapore, and your belt will ship from the UK.

-To order (and this is the very important part), you must do the following.

• Make payment to emporergav01@hotmail.com via paypal, stating Your name, Forum Name, Belt options, Delivery Address, HWDC number (if you have one), and waist size. in the payment notes.

• If you choose the natural "Russet" leather, please be aware that it is not treated at all, and is more stretchy than the other options.

-When ordering your belt, remember to order the measurement of your jeans rather than your waist. The safest thing to do is measure an existing belt which fits you well. The measurements of your custom order are your responsibility, and no refunds will be given for inaccurate measurements on your part.

I am definitely in with that top buckle.

Thoughts on starting a separate thread so people can see the options on the first page?

[Megatron1505]

No need to separate, this order is only running for 2 weeks, don't want it lingering.

[tatmantall]

:-\  my own personal tastes are making it difficult to bite on these because of design of buckles (a little to dressy for my preference) however, is there a spec available for the thickness of the leather being used… may just purchase and switch to a diff buckle if they are built with that possibility.

[Megatron1505]

The leather is 3.5 - 4.5 mm thick, I will ask if it is possible to swap buckles and get back to you.

[tatmantall]

thanks and appreciated mega

[Megatron1505]

Not a problem 

[summ3rhays]

Samples look great. Is it safe to say that the buckle determines the belt width?  If so what options are available?  Was there any luck with the 1.75" belt?  I know I wasn't the only one interested.

[Megatron1505]

I can't ask until about width until Monday, will get back to you on that.
