Nice, I love to see the evo in that natural leather…..G

Thanks Giles!

This belt has such fine craftmanship.  I can't wait to see how it turns out in a few years!

Really makes me want the wallet…need more money first!

This is my IHB-01 after 2 years.  Same leather, different buckle:

i have been looking into this myself and it would seem obenaufs leather oil MIGHT be the ticket.

i am ordering some up for a test on a new set of 634S's.
