Cross-post for the sake of reviving this quiet thread

ZeeBee x Iron Heart

what color are the two lighter leathers in the middle? the one with bolts and the one without.

@seawolf what I’m curious about, is if McLain has had his saddle stitched belt for 13 years, how long have you had yours in that picture for?

@bluemantra London Tan, Hermann Oak Bridle

@Mizmazzle I think I made that one about 8 or 9 years ago. It's Horween English Tan leather stitched together with Olive. Normally that leather is too thin
(relatively) to be made into a belt, but doubling it up and stitching makes a MEAN belt.

And for those following along at home, @mclaincausey 's belt is the first leather item I was ever commissioned to make, so it's extra special! The original linen thread degraded so badly that he sent it back to me for an overhaul and I restitched it with polyester thread.

Recently commissioned the one man band that is ZeeBee leathers, our very own @seawolf, to repurpose a buckle of my grandfathers from his service in the Navy. After DMing Zach, he let me know of his service in the Navy as well and informed me that the buckle I was looking to repurpose was a rare CPO buckle. At that point it made no sense to send this anywhere but to ZeeBee.
Well the finish product arrived today. I am just wowed not only by the quality of the bridle leather used but the craftsmanship put into this belt makes my heart swell. Thank you again Zach. This was a really special piece for me and you exceeded expectations.

[seawolf]

@flannel-slut Yes! I'm so happy you're happy with it. It was such a pleasure working with you, and I'm so glad you'll be able to wear that special buckle and honor your grandfather in such a meaningful way.

@SKT @ZackB Thank you, gents!
