Belts

McKleine: that's one crazy fuckin belt lad!..

Yeah, I suppose so, though tooled leather like this isn't entirely uncommon in Western circles here in the States.  This one was made in Chris' neck of the woods.

The original buckle looks like this:

Yeah, tooled belts are pretty common in the south and southwest US

I have never seen Chrome Hearts made that version before.

never really been my taste but MCL, you may have just changed my mind about tooled belts and Chrome hearts

[mclaincausey]

Thanks man. I love western gear. Not really a cowboy hat guy but I'll wear understated shirts, tooled belts, and boots.

Rockin it with the JC today, but my black cowboy boots are sadly being resoled.

Dom of Vintage Engineer Boots blog makes awesome repro Buco biker belts.

man, i wondered how his belts were. how thick is that? There is one up right now that i wouldnt mind having

[Megatron1505]

There are a couple of Japanese manufacturers doing very similar belts right now.

[mclaincausey]

He will make them to order; this one was. I would guess this is 2.25-2.5mm thick steer. It's solidly thick. You wouldn't want it super thick because the studs are substantial.

It's a great belt, well worth the asking price.

Here she is next to a 4.7 mm belt.  I think I lowballed the thickness.

A bit rich for my blood, but I bet you that thing evos like a champ.

Its the closest you probably get next to a vintage HTC, yeah that leather will come along great. I like the 50's style and love this belt. I know there are some leather artists outthere like VEB or others in that style too doing great stuff but i wanted to have the FH
