<![CDATA[Belts]]>Belts seem to come up again and again as a subject. I recently looked into the matter because some of the nicest straps I had are a tad too small now but I still want to use the awesome buckles I got. I haven't made a decision yet and will probably need to get two or three belts. Most of these can be ordered customized and would look great with jeans. The prices are much cheaper than the Japanese belts and I doubt that the leather quality is inferior. Some of them are tooled or Western style which would actually go well with the Western shirts from IH. There are also elephant, shark and horsehide belts featured.

So here are some links to sites I thought were interesting:

Well, that should get you started.

I basically think that they look better,at least to me. My go to for 1.75 belts is www.bullhidebelts.com Really well made and reasonable.

I only have one belt that size and a few 1.5". No complaints with either size. I feel like the 1.75" helps keep my low rise 777 up best (for a leather belt). Daltech force great brand to try a new size (sub $100 for a good belt). Not as good as my stitched old bridle harness Hank's belt (in the sense that the Daltech force ones have stretched a little more).

For the last part of your questions. In general doesn't feel a whole lot different to me. If given the same leather/quality at the same price, I would probably go bigger belt, but I don't love the bigger size enough to pay too much extra for.

I’m looking at some 1.75” size belts (vs 1.5”) and wondering what people here have to say about that size.

Love it? Worth it? Prefer the 1.5”?
Feel extra big? Not so different?
I know IH sells both.
All insights welcome!

Crossposting my new belt from Artemas Quibble out of St Louis. The buckle is white and yellow brass while the leather is a black overdye on red. It should fade into a rich purple in time.

The Japanese bridle leather is great stuff, maybe my favorite of the bunch. It has a super high density feel to it, very stiff, but exceptionally smooth a buttery feeling. It's heavy weight but thin in comparison to the others. It feels like it will last the longest of them.

These are great colors. On the bottom pic what colors are what? I’m looking on their site and hard to figure out what color is what. Nice leather though

I’ve been encroaching into my wife’s closet space as it is and I don’t want to draw too much attention. It would be of interest to see @Luijim78 belt collection.
