large 100%

Glad I asked. I probably would've gone with a medium….thanks jaco!

[Finn666]

you wouldn't think a medium could fit him jaco?
I have the IHB-02 in XL and I'm wearing it in the last hole, with having a 34-36" waist!
a L would be my way to go in this one I'd almost say…

[jacoavlu]

you're welcome
for others, my reasoning
1 the belt looks better long vs short
2 it is super easy to shorten with zero detrimental effects

[Chris]

No. 2 is the clincher.

Too long can be altered to a perfect length in about 10 minutes.  Too short and you're going to be listing it in the Sales section in about 10 minutes.

[jacoavlu]

yep, and I would still recommend L if 2 didn't even exist
M is too small for almost everyone

[Finn666]

point 2 was what first came into my mind when you suggested the bigger size! think it's your safest bet to go with the bigger size then Ben!

Except for ME!  If anyone has one that doesn't fit, LET ME KNOW!  Especially if its Natural…

I had the same problem with the IHB-02, I ordered the M and it was way too short. Learning by doing

[grandmasterben]

Thanks guys! I'll let you know when it touches down.  My strike gold belt is feeling a little tight at the moment

[grandmasterben]

I just got it….this is seriously a beauty. So thick and comfortable....also to any who had the same question as me, go with the large. I'm really glad I did as I have it on the tighter holes but its nice to know that I can have it forever and it'll always fit. I like it so much I'm tempted to pick up the super tan version even though I don't really need it....

Anyone have aging pics of this awesome piece of equipment?

Image Overload… Overkill? Possibly...

I love the small blemishes on the brass.

Very nice pics!.. All so very familiar, as well…

[JamesMarg]

How are they very familiar Seul?

[bagley920]

Because he started with the same natural product

[JamesMarg]

Ahh, indeed.
I would love to see some evolution pictures!

I sold my natty IHB-01 (cause I bought the natty IHB-03), but still have the IHB-01 in brown and black… Even though the colour is different, the evo and texture are (very) familiar... 

[JamesMarg]

Great stuff!
I would love to get a few more of these in different colours, but i'm afraid that i suffer from an impulsive personality  . I try as much as possible to limit belts/jeans that i buy, so i am not wearing a different belt each day, or worse, buying a new belt each day.  Hence I can make the most of what I already have, in terms of evolution and wear! 

The texture is phenomenal, leather is just special.
