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.

Alright sweet, good to know man! Thank you. My big worry was that I'd get a bigger size and end up being on the smallest hole, but you definitely seem to be a pretty 1:1 reference to me, so I'll gladly take that suggestion and go up to medium. Much much appreciated

My new IH-777-XHS have made it apparent that my old Wilson Leather belt is insufficient for heavyweight denim. Picked up a B.Weiss Super Beast belt in veg tanned today to fix that. Looking forward to the upgrade, and to start developing my own patina.
He mentioned he has a pretty big IH following after I told him who sent me

That’s definitely my next belt from him and I’ve even bought a special buckle for it. Any chance you could post a picture of yours? @FlannelnBooze

I'll post a photo once I have it.
FYI, he uses rivets for better durability, but he said I could request screws to swap out the buckle. I nearly swapped to screws so I could put the occasional large belt buckle on, but opted to keep this one 'standard' with the quick release buckle. May want to send him a message to confirm before spending the money and expecting to swap out the buckle yourself.

I already have a belt( Indigo dyed double prong rough out 1.75 width)from him and had a very pleasant experience dealing with him. I was going to send him the buckle first.
Lovely way to do it.
I still need a quality black belt, but that one will be pulling double duty between the office and casual use. I may dig around for some other options, but if I could send B.Weiss a buckle I want incorporated, may just go that route.

Reverse Indigo harness belt 1.75 wide. Made by bweissleather.com. @FlannelnBooze This is the belt he made for me. @pechelman does this help?

That's a gorgeous belt, @Jett129 . Love the contrast between the brass and deep indigo as well.
Very eager to have my belt land.

Super clean Horween natty with a copper coated brass buckle from Emil Erwin for Imogene + Willie.
Emil makes some really amazing stuff, I highly recommend checking him out.

That's going to look even better as it ages which is more than I can say for myself . Nice belt Matt

First time I've popped onto ZeeBee's website. Crazy beautiful work.
Recently received my BWeiss Super Beast and absolutely loving it. Really enjoying the quick release buckle too, as I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy it. Time is approaching to replace my old department store black belt with something substantial, and considering returning to BWeiss, but also open to other options. This belt would also pull some office duty, which is the only reason I'm reluctant to go for the more casual models (although, work isn't super formal either.)

Can't go wrong @FlannelnBooze ; I was an early customer and you can see this very belt under construction here: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5282.msg291213#msg291213
@seawolf refinished (see also before/after evo shots there) it a while ago for free and even added improved Chicago screws and some wax to treat the leather with. This thing is built to last and I cherish it.

Thanks for the kind words! I'm happy to make you a super badass black belt that can bridge the gap between nice and casual.

Thank you sir! I'm so glad your belt is treating you right. You weren't just an early customer, you were my first!

I recently purchased this indigo dyed leather belt from Aizome Aobozu on Instagram. The fella is hella nice and is even making me a custom size with no holes so I can make a custom fit.
I hope maybe you'll check out his store. He just had a kid this week so he can use the money.

My favorite belt ever is from Faith, so I love how this buckle and belt is sort of the same dimensions. He told me he will make my belt with all his heart.

I got my new belt today finally. It's extremely thick and well-made. It's slightly more narrow than I had expected. But that actually might work better because it will be more comfortable than my other belt. The buckle won't dig into my gunt quite as much.
I forgot to write I put the holes in the belt myself. It seems like the holes are too far apart on my other belt. Either too tight or too loose. And I only spaced my holes by one inch and on my other belt they are like an inch and a quarter apart.
