      New to me too. I've been using plate style buckles for the last 10 years as I like how fast they are and how the leather sits super flat. Giving this one a try for now especially since he just went through a process to get his own made in Japan. Time will tell and it's the only reason I haven't ordered another yet.

          Picked up another ptc belt, this time in Olive tea core jfj oak bark harness leather in the 15oz thickness. This leather is seriously thick but also incredibly dense. It's unreal feeling. Here is is compared to the Japanese bridle belt from a few posts up and a bweiss super beast in natural. While the super beast is about the same thickness as the olive teacore, it feels much lighter and it's much softer leather.

          Top left is the olive, bottom left is the bweiss, and right is the Japanese bridle.

          And for color comparison. The bweiss has at least a solid year of wear and patina while the navy ptc has been worn everyday since my last post.

                  thx to @Mizmazzle I now know where I can wear my very special belt with . didn’t tried it on my new 822 before .
                  it’s a extremely rare and beautiful belt , handmade in Vienna many years ago.
                  They used old military belts mainly from the former jugoslav army and some from austrian army too.
                  it looks like the hilt of a katakana ( Samurai sword) the red leather is stingray and look at those studs with engraving.
                  Brilliant work 🤩

                        Hi guys! I recently bought a gorgeous handmade belt from local craftsmen from Togliatti. Price: 60 dollars. Solid leather. Brass buckle. Everything is for adults.

                          I just recently discovered this thread, and as a belt fan, I'm completely blown away. Wonderful pieces here, gentlemen 👍
                          My current favorite belt, seen here when it was still brand new:

                          45 mm Western belt made of 4.5 mm thick Old World harness leather, with a solid brass belt buckle from Japan. I assembled it myself last summer. Luke from "Luke's Custom Belts" (Germany) supplied the strap, and "Smoky Sumi" in Japan supplied me with the brass buckle—as is (almost) always the case with belts.

                                First belt from pigeon tree. I’m blown away by the quality for its price point.

                                    @Jett129 black Japanese bridle leather. It has waaay more wax on it than the one pictured on their website. Very impressed so far and I’m excited to see how it ages

                                          Another, equally simple western belt that I made to go with a new pair of jeans. I've been using it daily for weeks now...
                                          38 mm width, 4.5 mm strong veg tanned natural leather.
