IHB-08 - Heavy Duty "Tochigi" Leather Belt with Nickel Plated Garrison Buckle

[Dstauffer]

How wide is this?

[Dstauffer]

While not IH, here is my Samurai belt in natural, about 2.5 years, untreated.

Constructed from 0.166" (4.2mm) thick by 1.5” (3.8cm) wide vegetable tanned cowhide

Buckle will get less shiney with wear? Is one of the old Garrison buckles laying around?

[Giles]

It'll get less shiny with wear as long as you treat it with contempt.  No old Garrison buckles aout, just the new ones….

Does the old one fit? Think a friend still has my old brown…

[Giles]

Should do.  Same width leather….

[JCMx800]

Gotcha!

[Dion]

Enjoy! This belt is awesome and I kind of like the new oversized buckle.

Looks great with the IHSH-50!

Today I've noticed that my belt is missing one screw :'(. Damn, it did come undone unnoticeably and got lost. @Alex @Giles do you have any left? I'd need two screws and two of those small parts the screws are being screwed into (sorry, dunno what they're called) so I can have a replacement and a spare one for the future.

[Giles]

we have them here

[Dion]

Nice to hear, should I drop a message with my next order then?

[Giles]

Yep…..

[Dion]

Great! And done.

Since mine is already half-dismantled and also felt pretty dry I gave it the complete Obenauf's Leather Oil treatment and it became amazingly soft and supple. Note that this is the brown version which looks almost black now.

Obenaufs is good stuff. In my experience it lightens a bit after a while but not back to the original color. I’ve used it on all my (non-boot) leather stuff for years.

[Dion]

Back on track. Thanks, team!

I know that there are measurements on the website, but I'm wondering if anyone in the 32-34" waist range (or even a 33" like me) has one of these, and what their thoughts are on Medium versus Large?
