Dyed a belt and matched the studs to the buckles of my Lofgren's

What is that style of belt??? I really love that style. I have no idea where to find them, and no amount of google searching has turned up shit!

^ Some of the more common names are "biker belts," "Indian belts," "vintage western belts," "sovenir belts."  I personally made this belt and have tons of other designs inspired by the original 1930's - 1950's belts of the time that I create.

It's like an engineer festival around here, about time too! @vintage_engineer_boots:

Yeah man I really like the skulls you made out of spots on one of your belts, awesome.

^Thanks!  I'm actually tempted to make one of those for myself.

*Noticed I spelled "souvenir" wrong earlier.

Getting back to boots (kind of) … sent a pair to THE Cobler himself today

^Hehe!  You've got the fever!!!

Here's my first every pair of Engineer Boots purchased in 1991 in a small shop in San Jose, California.  They're were made by Double H and cost about $90.  I wore these like it was no ones business (that's all natural patina).  Notice the western style heels.  They didn't start off that way - I wore the heels down so far before the initial re-heel that the cobler had no choice but to reshape them.  I had the heels replaced at least six or seven times over the span of four years.  I believe my parents still have these boots somewhere in their home.
