      Picked this up from the true saint @joesaintjohn this past fall And have worn it pretty much every day since. Can’t believe it took so long for me to get one. Can’t imagine living without it.

      I believe this is the Blue one.

              Never one to know age or count washes, I can only guess that this is 8-10 years old. This was, originally, a black belt, but the leather has aged beautifully with daily wear. I don't expect to ever need another belt.

                I have one at seven years old. No signs of structural weakness or life-ending damage. I fail to see what will render it useless. And the accumulation of age they show is a beautiful thing.

                  I remember either a video or series of photos walking us through the cutting to size of your belts, but I was too inept at locating said tutorial. If anyone would be kind enough to help, I'd be greatly appreciative.

                  Specifically, I'm having trouble getting the screws out, both the male and female parts just spin together??

                          Why the hell did it  take me a year to realize this belt is size adjustable from the buckle end thanks to it being attached by screws and not sewn???

                              As soon as I had my “revelation” I immediately  remembered seeing the video years ago. I happened to have the hole punch as well so the mod was easy.  I’m back to my original hole now.  Very excited.

                              Used to be “natural.”  Now it’s “aged.”

                                I can't remember exactly how long I have had this belt.  It was from the first run of natural we ever did, so I am guessing 17 or so years, possibly even longer.  It gets worn most days. The buckle attachment was beginning to get a tad shady (which after only 6,000 or so days wear is pretty pitiful  😃 😃 ), so I asked Haraki for a new piece…

                                The pimpage was done at Iron Heart camp in Japan about 6 years ago...

                                Looking pretty ropey…

                                Old and new….

                                A quick dose of olive oil (because that is what I had to hand), and we're ready for another 17 years…..

                                            That’s one reason I love them @Kasi.

                                            Never had to retighten them in ten years.
                                            Bought this belt from @Seul a decade ago.

                                            It’s the one and only belt I use.
                                            There was no need for something else, after this IHB-01 turned up.
