Thanks for posting this. I love seeing what goes on behind the scenes. Belts are awesome!
You can see a lot more pictures from behind the scene on the Process and Materials section on our site: http://www.tannergoods.com/pages/about-us

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.

my stash:
i'm weak for that natural color. . . will probably start using at the end of the year. i could really go on & on & on about this stuff but u have to see the handiwork to really appreciate it.

long story short, it's my wifes bday she decided to go out with the girls -carie fever/sex in the city 2- & i actually decided to post some long over due flicks while doing arts & crafts with my 2 rugrats.
figure i have to spend qt with the mistress also

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.

no recommendation, really can't go wrong with any choice you make
;D.i'm not too hip so i match my leather goods/would be interesting to see someone do the opposite.

"A few weeks back Mike and I made a trip down to San Francisco, and had a chance to visit one of our favorite TG retailers, Union Made. Aside from stocking some stellar labels, the shop itself has a really inviting, friendly vibe thanks in part to the two gentleman running things - Todd and Aaron. We wanted to leave something special behind for the guys, and thought our very first hand-tooled belt would be the perfect gift.
Cut from our 10/11 oz. Natural, we went with a traditional floral pattern surrounding their UNION MADE namesake. We rubbed in a Sheridan colored dye to give it a nice tint and really draw out the detail of the tooling. Here's a few more pics of the finished product…"

got it! and i was goin to mix up alittle bit, im get the english tan belt with maybe a mahogany tether.
can't wait to see what u do
that tooled belt is amazing, can't imagine the amount of man hours that went into it.
MOA, ever thought of doing something like this:
front
backside
front again:
with the buckle
not sure what brand the belt is or even where it came from -i've had it for over ten years now-. the interesting about the belt is it started out super duper black & over the years has turned into this. The buckle had some sort of finish on it as well & now it's almost a natural brass.
would love to see what your artisans would do
