IHB-02 Garrison Leather Belt

[Snowy]

That is a very Japanese thing to do.

It's a pretty awesome thing to do. If only more people had such high standards for their work, and took as much pride in it.

^Agreed.  I was also looking forward to a restock, but my disappointment is trumped by the knowledge that despite the demand for the brand continuing to grow, H's standard of excellence isn't slipping a bit.  This is a large reason why IH's customers remain so loyal.

+1 agreed hence my enthusiasm  for IH products …...I just noticed reading the other posts I may be a XL not a L
I wear 36 waist ....but the XL says 37.5 to first prong but  that would be to big ?

^ when it comes to belts, there isn't such thing as "too big"…the IHB-02 is super easy to shorten, so i'd say go for the XL and if needed, just shorten it!

here's a video about how to do it:

[Seul]

Or ask Giles to do it for you if you don't wanna go the DIY route…

[Giles]

Exactly, but if you are unsure of what length you need, just buy the biggest and cut to fit (hell, I think even Seul can do it)….

[Seul]

This gif assures me that I could possibly do it…

[theorocks]

Okay I think even a burn out like me could figure it out

[theorocks]

any news on restock?

[Giles]

Just asked H

[Giles]

We are struggling to get leather of the appropriate quality to do a large run, but I have managed to get a few black ones restocked.

[theorocks]

Cool ….on it

[Giles]

And gotcha…..

[theorocks]

apparently I am to burnt to do it took a little to much off hopefully it stretches a little …also I need to lose a few more pounds

[Giles]

Small restock of white, brown and black….

[Peterpiper]

Giles, any L/ XL browns due back in stock soon?

[Giles]

We are having trouble getting the leather.  The Chinese are buying it all.  We have no idea when we will be able to get more of the appropriate quality….

[Peterpiper]

Oki doki, thanks..

Sorry, maybe another quick question.. Could the veg tan be dyed a brown, as in do it myself?

[jdl1279]

Get some Fieblings antique leather stain and apply in thin coats until desired shade is achieved. Veg tan will really soak it up, but with 5 coats or so and proper dry time, you'll get the result you want.
