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

[mclaincausey]

This leather is great. Supple, with a smooth, matte face. The buckle is nice and solid and I like the construction and finishing. I would expect it to age quite well.

Geez, I need to clean my mirror…

@Giles:

I agree, go for the L and trim to perfection:

Interested in one of these. If I have to trim anyway (true waist 33), an XL would be an option too right? Just a little more waste…

Ha… our similar tastes strike again. I just picked one up a week ago. My true waist sits at about 34/35" now and my jean size ranges from 33"-35" depending on cut. Earlier I have gone XL and have had to trim about 12cm off. This time I went L. It fits great to the middle hole, so I expect the L will be just fine for you. That being said, the size up and trim trick is hardly difficult.

Thanks @neph93

My jeans size is between 31.5" and 32". I would be wearing L at 87cm, first hole. So for middle hole I would have to trim.

@neph93:

Indeed. And since L is not in stock…

Did I mention I have the The Piqué Blinder as well

These belts are perfection.

…trimmed it down so I'm in the middle hole!  Rock&Roll!

[neph93]

Customing fitting those belts is a satisfying little job. Looks good @vaquero357

For the tochigi belts, what would be the recco for someone like me wearing pants with a 35.5IN waist? I'm on the tail end of a large and the front end of an XL (I also have problem finding japanese pants too…but I digress...)

I'm about there. I would recommend going XL and cutting it as per the numerous videos's and instructions on the relevant threads.

You'll be able to wear the L but may find it annoying only being able to use the first two holes.

Yup what he said. Go larger and trim it down

[Jimothy]

Isn't there a "pimp my belt" option where I can have you guys do it for me?

[henry_david]

Hey all! I noticed that my IHB-08 has a bit of a "patina" from a lotta wear (read: heavy sweating in XHS while walking the hills of San Francisco). Any suggestions as to how I might shine this up?
