Who makes this beautiful belt my good sir ?  ???

[zhivago]

sick @Matt!!

I need you help guys. Looking for a belt to pull off with the natural CXL Mr Lou. I find most brown shades difficult to pair with the natural CXL.
Any ideas/recommendations?
I prefer simple and clean looking belts.
For reference a picture of the boots paired with the tochigi belt. My inner Monk tells me that this combo somehow doesn't work.

@Dmart have you tried black? I know some aren't fond of black belts w/ indigo denim but could be an option.

Boots look amazing though!

Pigeon Tree Crafting has quite a few brown options. His belts are awesome and there’s a 3 month wait for a reason. I have one and love it,although I like my belt from B.Weiss leather better,but he doesn’t have as many options.

I would go natural and let it pick up a patina….

For my money, black belts with black shoes, brown belts with brown shoes, and in this case I would agree with @Giles recommendation, perhaps forcing a bit of a patina on a natural belt with some Mustang Paste.

[Jett129]

I would concur with what’s been said. Check out the veg tanned Superbeast belt at www.bweissleather.com

Thanks everybody.
@AdamJ  no, I don't have any problems with black belts on denim, I regularly wear one with black engineers, but I'm with @mclaincausey belt and boot color should match.
I have to check pigeon tree and bweissleather thanks @Jett129
A natural leather might actually be the best option here, especially once it evolves its own patina.
Thanks everybody.

For my inner weirdo. You would agree that the shown combo won't work?

[Jett129]

Shown combo isn’t terrible. Don’t think you have to worry about the Fashion Police giving you a ticket.

@Dmart personally I think G-san has the winning answer…

Mike Falkner at Wild Frontier Goods makes beautiful robust belts - you could try a kakisibu painted belt which could work with cxl. I have 2 of his belts and they are my favourites.

The shown combo looks great. Too perfect of a combo or ensemble makes a person look uptight with their head stuck way up their ass.

Thanks @daltmeyer

[sabergirl]

I don’t think a new belt is necessary. Get out of your head about the current combo. Looks fine

These are words to live by.

I have a tendency to overcomplicate things sometimes. So really appreciate your comments and really like this IH belt alot. I think it's too beautiful to not wear as often as possible.

Was thinking about getting an OGL garrison belt and compared it against some belts I already have. I've been sorta into higher waisted jeans, so naturally they're a little more cinched when they're higher up than their usual spot more down by my hips.

I compared against a Naked & Famous belt I have that measures 35.5 to the hole I use. I'm pretty clear on measurements etc but the one thing that's throwing me off is that according to the OGL size charts, I'd wear a small. That's just weird to me.

Just curious about anyone who's a similar size to me (6'2, 185lbs, 34 waist) who's owned an OGL belt — what size did you get?

Thanks in advance!

Hey @popvulture dont be thrown off my man, OGL belts do run rather large. We are pretty much the same size and I have perfect fitting mediums in all my OGL belts. If you are around 34 tag or actual in IH bottoms then I’d go for a medium to be safe for sure.
