Over the last week a few members have got a hands on look at the hardware i will be using and leather samples. I was showing a 4.5mm and the 5.5mm sample that measures up at 6mm.
The feeling seems to be the 5.5/6 is to thick and that they were happy with the quality of the 4.5.
So I can order the 4.5 at the 5mm thickness and hopefully be able to knock some out soon.
Thoughts, issues, happy, not happy let me know??
Cheers
A few photos of the 4.5mm sample and comparing with the 5.5

Having seen both samples of the leather, I'd say the 6mm was way to thick to be realistically usable as a belt; you'd never get it to go through the buckle successfully. The IH belts are 5mm and thats probably as thick as you'd want to go. For me the 4.5mm sample was lovely, still thicker than 99% of belts with potential to be usable and comfortable. 4.5 - 5mm every time for me.
Having spoken to Todd at length over the weekend i was really impressed with how he is obsessing over every detail on these belts, these really are going to be quite special. It hasn't been mentioned here, but Todd told me in passing that all the hardware and the leather on these is going to be UK made and sourced. To me this sort of attention to detail makes all the difference, good work Todd.

Thank you simon for that.
I want a second round even a 10th would be great, but i am moving back to aus in September and dont want to over promise. when i get home and hoping i can source leather, my plan being a fully made in aus belt i am more than happy to keep going and i will be in a better financial position and wouldn’t need rounds you want one i will make you one.

I'm good with whatever the group wants leather wise. Excited!

Ok i am getting close to putting my order in, does anyone want a belt stained in a different colour to what i have shown?
the stains are US made
-
Natural finish as per your sample for me Todd, and agree with (the other) Simon about the thickness.
These belts are going to be SWEET

I will take the rightmost stain. So I'm: Brass/Brown thus far.
