Over the last week a few members have got a hands on look at the hardware i will be using and leather samples. I was showing a 4.5mm and the 5.5mm sample that measures up at 6mm.
The feeling seems to be the 5.5/6 is to thick and that they were happy with the quality of the 4.5.
So I can order the 4.5 at the 5mm thickness and hopefully be able to knock some out soon.
Thoughts, issues, happy, not happy let me know??
Cheers

Having seen both samples of the leather, I'd say the 6mm was way to thick to be realistically usable as a belt; you'd never get it to go through the buckle successfully. The IH belts are 5mm and thats probably as thick as you'd want to go. For me the 4.5mm sample was lovely, still thicker than 99% of belts with potential to be usable and comfortable. 4.5 - 5mm every time for me.
Having spoken to Todd at length over the weekend i was really impressed with how he is obsessing over every detail on these belts, these really are going to be quite special. It hasn't been mentioned here, but Todd told me in passing that all the hardware and the leather on these is going to be UK made and sourced. To me this sort of attention to detail makes all the difference, good work Todd.
