      For me, IH tochigi belt is 10x better than my $100 belts. Pay 2x, get 10x = great value

      Interesting. So what makes a belt better than another at this price point?

          I have an IH belt and don’t think the leather/strap compares to B.Weiss or Pigeon Tree. Just my opinion.

              Not finding good info on the bweiss website or any contact info. How many and What spacing are the holes? Is it held together with rivets or Chicago screws for swapping out buckles?

                  .  He has you measure a belt that currently fits you and does the sizing based on that. I don’t get the impression that he wouldn’t space the holes anyway that you want them. He’s pretty accommodating,and has a pretty big following on IH. I’m not home and not wearing his belt so I can’t answer your question on buckle attachment.

                            Hey all, my Y2 kakishibu horsehide jacket needs a little moisturizing after some sun tanning. I’m a little low on mustang paste. Any other suggestions?

                              I have the same one and it's the thickest and chonkiest belt I own. Love it.

                                I really know nothing about belts so I don’t know what belt buckle.. A normal looking one?

                                B Weiss is 500 dollars. I can’t be paying that much for a belt. I’m thinking around 100 maybe even less? Is that possible for something decent?

                                What about those ones that start out as really light then get darker as you wear them? Is that legit or some sort of gimmick?

                                bravestarselvage has some decent belts for under $100.00. buckles are interchangable.

                                  Not sure if I should post this here or somewhere else, but:

                                  I've been a long time fan of iconic shoe/boot styles. Doc Martens, Converse, Vans; Red Wings (I have a pair of Red Wing Gentleman Travelers before they made their heritage line), Wesco (I have a 20 year old custom pair that, to my eternal regret, I had made without straps).

                                  A while back, I made the terrible mistake of getting a pair of wide toe-box shoes from Lems. It's one of the "shaped like a foot" variety of shoes. It turns out that this is wildly more comfortable than other shoe shapes, and now I'm annoyed wearing anything else. The bad part is that the shoes look bad, and don't have any of the appeal in terms of materials or construction that the stuff I've liked for years has.

                                  The question: is there anyone out there making high-quality footwear that has a wider toe box? (Not a wide-width shoe, just shaped in a way that lets your toes spread out.) Does anyone else suffer from this same problem?

                                    Never had any Lems, but I’m basically spoiled for other footwear after buying a few pairs of Altras, which have a very similar toe box. I think we may have to embrace that comfort is more important than looks

                                          I’m pretty sure my wedding ring is gone for good.  Realized it driving home yesterday.  It was a simple titanium band, nothing special but I’m sad it’s gone after all these years. I’ll look at work when I return tomorrow, but in the meantime  ;D…

                                          …how about some suggestions for a replacement!
