IHB-02 Garrison Leather Belt

[Giles]

No, but we are struggling to find leather of the appropriate quality….......

Captured a last brown -02 in L in a little Rakuten-store .. for 90.- € (incl. postage)    Boom!

I'm ashamed to say I got a similar deal last year, but the buckle is kind of flaking on mine! Hope you have better luck..!

^ I hope so  - thx a lot
I have the same belt in black (since nearly a year) - all fine!

Have you tried taking it to a cobbler's?..

[Peterpiper]

A bit hard to see. Still love the belt.. The shape of the buckle does it for me!

[Giles]

Never seen that happen before….

[Anesthetist]

Wow. That's bizarre. Aren't they solid brass?
Nvm, saw they are nickel coated.

That's also happened to mine, more pronounced than @Peterpiper

I must admit, I thought it was the natural characteristic of the metal, even though I don't find it appealing.  I forgot about this, as I haven't been using the belt in 6 months, because I got the IHB-05 that I prefer instead.

EDIT: Now with pictures, I hope they're viewable.

My old black one, purchased 2011, lots of wear, no flaking!

Nice belt

[Finkster]

  That's a really weird 'flaking evo' on your belts, Peterpiper & Bullitt Bee …
I'm a bit on the fence between terrific and unsightly.  :-\

The buckle of my black Garrison looks like brandnew - after ca. 1 year of constant wearing ..
Just now, very eagerly for the new brown belt.

I thought my sweaty overhang (belly) had something to do with it..

[Finkster]

[Finn666]

I suspect my beer gut is somehow the culprit
