IH collab would be awesome…
as for the 3sixteen... if you guys haven't seen it yet.
The guys from 3sixteen sent us two dozen salvaged belt buckles they acquired a few months back, and we jumped at the opportunity to produce a small run of belts for them. We've been wanting to do a hand-stitched belt for a while, and thought our Golden 13oz. English Bridle leather would look exceptional with the antique buckles and white waxed thread. Here's a few pics we took during production to show some of the process that went into producing these belts.
These belts took nearly twice as long to produce as our typical Standard Belt - each keeper was skived down to a 5oz weight, hand edged, then stapled together. The buckles and keeper are sewn in using a saddle stitch method Mark did by hand. Cut 1 3/4" wide from 13oz Golden English Bridle leather, these are probably the most heavy-duty belts we've produced. 24 are currently available exclusively through 3sixteen's

Thanks for posting this. I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes. Belts are awesome!

One of our newest Tanner Goods customers, Jordana sent me a very moving email a few days ago. She wanted to share the story behind her fathers belt buckle. While searching for a new belt she found that the Standard belt in Natural was the ideal vessel to continue his legacy in the physical world.
"The buckle is brass, and my Dad had it custom made sometime in the mid-to late 70's in New York City, where we lived. The buckle has stamped in the back, "Hector Jorge Creations New York." My Dad had the buckle made to match a heavy silver ring he'd bought in Mexico in '74, and that he wore every day on the middle finger of his left hand as his rebel interpretation of a wedding ring. My father gave me this buckle some years ago when he finally stopped wearing jeans and cowboy boots and a chambray shirt any day he was not at work. I plan to wear this buckle with the Tanner belt and have it age in remembrance of my father's cowboy heart."
A simple gesture which easily tugged at my heart-strings.
To Jordana and her whole family, the very best wishes from the whole team here at Tanner Goods.

That buckle really means business especially considering it means something to multiple generations. That's what I like about quality stubborness, it doesn't need to be genetic in order to get passed on. Good stuff.

they r really secure, i run around with my 4 and 9 year old & they actually grab on to them to try and pull them off
& they don't budge.if my two lil gremlins can't get them, i think they are pretty secure.
