@Hydeous:

I have never seen Chrome Hearts made that version before.

I don't think mine is chrome hearts. Wow it looks similar though!

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.

Great studded belt there, veb does great stuff. Awesome catch for sure

lusting for a vintage HTC one day, my flathead comes pretty close to it but all in the eye of the beholder

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

[davito]

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

A couple of new VEB belts…

Ever carefully packed:

A Buco brown with amber reflectors, and a studded black belt with skulls.

Studs with military chinos?  I don't see why not.

[natehate]

that brown is sick!

[mclaincausey]

Thanks–and agreed!  Love the color, and it really goes well with my Road Champs...  He can make black or brown, brass or steel studs and buckle, amber or red reflectors.

[mclaincausey]

anxiously awaiting the RAWs!

[natehate]
