Belts

[BrownIcon]

tnx Finn!  besides,  being apropos for the garrison buckle, i especially the black for its "satin" finished brass.

IMO, the leather quality is on par if not better than the Buco or Fullcount garrison i've seen @BIG, for less than 1/2 the retail … Charlie [of Equus] is the man!

[Finn666]

those belts are dope…no matter if in quality or in something else, period!

Received my HWDC belt today.  1.75" New Market Bridle with brass garrison buckle.  I'm digging the classic look.

I just bought some Obenauf's LP. Should I put it on both sides of the belt or just the top? Sorry for the newb Question but thanks for your help.

[Anesthetist]

I just treat the finished side of my leather goods.

I have a brand new Terry Dear quercus belt for sale right now

[summ3rhays]

I agree. I only treat the finished side.

Terry dear quarcus. No crease on edge, 1.75 wide. About 9 months evo

[scroogen]

I always treat both sides of the leather. Shmoop it firmly with your hands and then let it dry. I like to throw my leather stuff under the rear window of my car in the sun for a few hours to help the wax melt in.

I never treat belts. A thick belt will last 30-50 years, either way. I like to let it naturally age. Boots that take alot of abuse on the other hand..

[Sopiarz3]

thanks for all your advise guys.

Can someone recommend a good natural colored belt to start with? (doesn't have to be IH). I've never owned a high quality one before and I think the time has come. I want something not too crazy thick, but with plenty of durability that will (most importantly) age well.

I have a Tanner Goods natural belt that I'm very happy with and is ageing beautifully.

I'm prepared to accept that I am a little biased, but:

Terry dear quarcus. Hands down. Oak bark tanned over a year. So thick. Ages so beautifully
And only 80 bucks shipped

Spring Son of Light you should jump on this.  You can make it exactly the way you want for a killer price.  If you aren't in the HWDC it's a little more, but still a steal.

Thanks in advance

I have a preference for samursi's offering in belts. They are insanely thick weighing in at almost 8mm so they may not be for everyone but if your looking for a belt to end all belts … Look no further you've found em!

I used Rakuten (once) and it took just under one week from placing the order to receiving the item. I'm not sure about whether it looks legit or not - everything looks weird on Rakuten because it's been run through google translator.
