Dom of Vintage Engineer Boots blog makes awesome repro Buco biker belts.

man, i wondered how his belts were. how thick is that? There is one up right now that i wouldnt mind having

There are a couple of Japanese manufacturers doing very similar belts right now.

He will make them to order; this one was. I would guess this is 2.25-2.5mm thick steer. It's solidly thick. You wouldn't want it super thick because the studs are substantial.

It's a great belt, well worth the asking price.

Here she is next to a 4.7 mm belt.  I think I lowballed the thickness.

Great studded belt there, veb does great stuff. Awesome catch for sure

A bit rich for my blood, but I bet you that thing evos like a champ.

Its the closest you probably get next to a vintage HTC, yeah that leather will come along great. I like the 50's style and love this belt. I know there are some leather artists outthere like VEB or others in that style too doing great stuff but i wanted to have the FH

A couple of new VEB belts…

Ever carefully packed:

A Buco brown with amber reflectors, and a studded black belt with skulls.

Studs with military chinos?  I don't see why not.

that brown is sick!

[mclaincausey]

Thanks–and agreed!  Love the color, and it really goes well with my Road Champs...  He can make black or brown, brass or steel studs and buckle, amber or red reflectors.

new belt thats like a reason to buy more jeans right?

[mclaincausey]

anxiously awaiting the RAWs!

[natehate]

hahaha are you like me and set a belt to each pair of jeans?
or am i still alone in that ocd weirdness of mine?

You're not alone Nate. I realized my new pair of 6634's were sans belt yesterday, so I ran downstairs to my workbench and banged out a quick belt to satisfy my own OCD.
