TLG Belt Interest

[Giles]

Todd you could get them to me if people are prepared to "stack" them, then if we ship with something else, postage is zero extra in Europe and let's say US7 anywhere else in the world.  G

Thank G! :))

O0 I will start looking at hide prices, I had a few quotes and the ranged from £90 - +£200. I will try for some samples.

[toddjcoley]

Any one keen on using a buckle like this. I have been planning to make my self one.

[mclaincausey]

I like em. I think though that I would like Chicago screws more so I could use buckles I already have.

[el padre]

Yeah, I'd be interested. They look great. Prefer the buckles in your first post.

[toddjcoley]

Cool thats the feed back I want. I have emailed 3 people about hides and requested samples. Will keep you up dated

[Ghetto]

Nice work Todd, put me down for one.

[toddjcoley]

WOW! Just did a little dance in my bedroom. ha ha Thank you! Not having even seen a whole hide and by going by the measurements one supply has giving I can max get 17 belts at 1.5".  So I would like to cap the order at 13, (Thirteen Leather Goods) to be safe.

I hope to get word from suppliers this week and hope to get some samples that I will show and then can put costs together.

Cheers

@Finn666:

I want to wait for samples before i put a price out there because:
1. There is a big price difference in hides. The more expensive are tanned in the UK and one is quite famous with belts.  Also would like the group to decided which one to go with.
2. I have no idea about cost of the hide getting to me

I don’t want to put a figure out there that will scare people away and I don’t want to put a low one out and have to change it later.

Todd I'm pm'ing you about a card holder.

Stick me down for one too, Todd - if there's still one of the 13 spots left
