@LandoCal126:

I am on the last hole and the end of the belt is so long now that I have to shift the whole buckle as far right as my belt loop allows to compensate… And it is still annoyingly long. It is just to big. I will post pictures tomorrow if I have a chance.

LandoCal, return it boy ! It ain't worth having something expensive and dear that doesn't fit. A too big belt is just all wrong. I thought long and hard about just suffering (pulling a "Simon626-LA" ) through my recently returned SuperBlack Bootcut (IH 9461) – which would have been hard considering I could not even button the 2nd-to-top-button...but maybe I could have had someone else do it for me...the point is, if somethin' doesn't feel right, it's wrong - -send it back.

Shubs, I was talking about my DB Belt being to big. My new IHB-03 fits perfectly. The DB used to fit perfectly but apparently I have lost some weight since I bought it or may have worn it a bit lower when I originally got it…

Damn, what a problem to have LandoCal – losing weight without really realizing it ! Trust me, that's not a common problem for 45-year-old women.

So here are those two Mark Joiner buckles, I never wear the bottom buckle so if any of you guys like it feel free to pm me with an offer. Hell I'd even sell the top one too. I'd rather have one in black.

Concrete IH Belts perhaps?

Do any of you guys have both the 13oz and the standard Tanner Goods belts? I have the standard and it's super thick, I can't imagine the 13oz.

Beatle

cheep got the 13oz version..honestly - standard is as thick as I would go

Dchill

Yeah that's what I thought too, that 13oz. may be a bit overboard.

Nice - I like this one: http://www.markjoiner.com/collections/buckles/products/wheat-buckle-1?page=3

Holy crap these buckles are bad ass… i really dig the current DOTM Osar buckles. I seriously want like 4 of these color combos. How well do these really hold up though? I currently wear tanner belts but im slightly allergic to the nickel plating and the top of the buckles that rub my stomach under my tshirt when i sit give me a slight rash sometimes and its annoying. I prefer double prong belts but im almost considering getting one/two of these. I know tanner has the stainless single prong roller buckles but theyre boring as single prong I wish they had the dual prong in stainless.

Not sure if anyones mentiond LGC ?

Received my two Mark Joiner buckles today…. freakin AWESOME. Holy crap! And the hardware is small and won't even rub against my skin so no rash which is a major plus. Thanks for suggesting him Dchill!

Ive been busy and haven't taken the time to switch over these buckles yet… turns out the hardware on these things wont accommodate my tanner belts because the metal loop that swings down that you slide the belt through tapers inward up towards the buckle so... its too tight a fit. Won't even insert past an inch or so. I spoke to the guy that created them and he said he had some ideas that would work, but i havent heard back from him in awhile now.. he told me he has to keep going out of town (my buckles even initially shipped way way later than they were supposed to)

Does anyone have experience making modification to belt buckle hardware? I feel like if i got some pliers and pulled that little swing bar apart and put a bigger one on it, they would be fine? But i dont really know how to do it or a good place to get the parts?

Hello, I have a good belt that I would lke to change the buckle for something slimmer and more simple, garrison style, the buckle I have now ia garrison as well but pretty shiny and sort of big. Does anyne know a place to buy good quality buckles on the web? I been looking but I only find suppliers for shops

Thanks a lot

Ask James at obbigoodlabel. The ydisplay their buckles in the onlineshop. Maybe try hollows leather goods, they got nice buckles too.

maltess

I asked hollow already and he only sells the whole belt, I am looking at this other site you told me

Cheers

maltess

Nothing, They seem only to sell the whole belt too, changing the topic, For a natural tan belt I got as well, Do I have to use some kind of product to develop a patina or something, or I just start using the belt?

I'd oil/wax it before use.
That'll keep most of the indigo coming from jeans off the belt.

maltess

ok, what kind of oil/wax should I use? I am ttally nw to this

best regards

I like this one:

Can't afford it at the moment though.

injunjack

Just some leather-oil, colorless, or something like saddlebalm. Or beeswax.

Note. This will immediatelly darken the belt.

I have reingrease, natural and black, and saddlebalm to take care of my boots, leather jackets etc. For natural belt I'd use saddlebalm. ( I don't have beeswax at the moment)

obenauf's leather, Red Wink Mink Oil or red Wing Boot Oil work very well for a patina.
