Iron Heart Belts

[Giles]

One of my customers who has just purchased an IHB-03:

asked for some more details about it.

Here is Ayumis response:

The buckles are made in small atelier in Gifu pref. and the leather items are made by artisan, Mr. Ken at Calf (the studio called Calf) in Fukuyama city, Hiroshima.

I own two – IH Brown Cowhide Belt and IH Super Tan (Self Edge Exclusive). I also own two Sugar Cane Belts (Tan studded and Black Studded).  I wear a W32 in all, and I can tell you that they're super amazing. The IH ones are definitely thicker and more "industrial strength" in a way that only Iron Heart can master.  I mean, no joke -- I could use my IH belts as a self defense weapon...you could seriously hurt someone with them ! I'll post pics up soon.

Qucick pic for a member.  Yeah, I know - tucking in T bad.  But needed to be able to see the belt and tucked in T preferable to my gut.

Did you treat that belt with anything Giles, or is that just natural tanning and wear?

[Giles]

Some leather cream about once every 6 months.  G

Good to know!  Thanks G.  The difference in saturation is unreal.

Edit: To expand, I believe I still have a tub or two of Chelsea Leather Food that I've used on every leather good I've owned (cleats, gloves, etc.)and it's worked well, most recently on a late ;60's honey-colored Brooks saddle.  The day I get around to trying out Obenaufs is rapidly approaching.
