Belts

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

@Daniel-San damn! That’s one hell of a cool belt!! Will look sweet with the 822s also!!

@Daniel-San That belt should be in a museum.

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.
