I emailed him yesterday also and asked what the next step was on my belts and he got back to me pretty quick and said he'd get them banged out this week . Weird

[urbanwoodsman]

Guess I was lucky. Received these today.

Those look great, Shane. Congrats, man. Glad it worked out well for you.

[summ3rhays]

Man those look stellar. Congrats

Does anyone know anything about the type of buckle used on the belt in the eleventh picture on the original post?  The front bar is on a hinge- you could use that thing as a weapon!

got my 3 belts today, pretty gnarly stuff

[seanocono]

Congrats, Nate.  Care to post any pics?

couple quickies for you
natural harness 1.7
black harness 1.7
brown harness 1.5

changed out the buckle on the brown harness for a copper buckle i ordered from tanner goods, i did belt and buckle combo with my roy ducks in mind (yes im weird and ocd and like having a belt for each pair of pants)

wish i could find a copper 1.7 buckle
the brown is a seriously nice color
these belts are heavy duty

[seanocono]

Wow, Nate.  I love that copper buckle.  I agree the brown color is nice, too.  I also have a natural harness 1.7 from Scott.  It will take a bit to break in and get comfortable, but it will be worth it.  Once this spring IH release madness settles down, I will be putting in another order with DMO.

whats the plans for next?

[seanocono]

Pretty close to what you have. A black harness 1.5" with stainless hardware, and a brown harness 1.5" with brass hardware. I like my holes at .75" apart, instead of 1". My weight tends to fluctuate, so that makes sizing a little more convenient/comfortable. I also like the teardrop holes, but at only .75" apart, I think the circular holes look less cramped.

just messaged scott to see if he makes watch straps for his customers
natural horse maybe??

Decided on a 16oz American Harness natural leather belt with a stainless steel buckle and a Horween FQHH CXL bifold. Will pick them up in the US in the summer. Can´t wait.

Here they are. Scott was great to deal with.

[maltess]

is there a way to remove water stains from a tan belt? its the natural wicket & Graig from unlucky

cheers

[Anesthetist]

I would just wear it until they aren't as apparent. It's all part of the patina.

[maltess]

They are very noticeable, sort of ogly

Just sent Scott an email requesting a few custom items.
After looking through a bunch of options (FH, Red Moon, Obbi Good Label  New, LeatherGoodsConnection), I think I made the right choice. It's awesome having so many options and knowing everything is custom and made to order is really cool. Getting a short "Red Moon" style wallet with coin pocket/three card slots with a built in chain ring like on the FH/WC wallet. The wallets going to be Horween natural horse butt with Horween cordovan details. Also ordered a new lanyard to go with it and a 15oz natural tan belt to go with it. Can't wait to find out if all of this is possible.
This is going to be my first proper leather wallet and can't wait to start breaking it in.
Too bad there won't be much to put into the wallet after paying for it lol.
