Iron Heart Belts

@jacoavlu:

a drill works fine as well if you don't have a punch. not as clean, but you'll never see it anyway.

What I used to use…..

…and here he goes. I was serious. With bigger/heavier hammer you don't have to pound so much to make a hole with a punch....Oh, well.

BTW do you know what is a Russian Ass-Buzzer like? (I remember you spent time in east block way back then...)

Well.... It doesn't fit in yer ass, and it sure doesn't buzz....

[Giles]

….....does not fit in the ass, and does not buzz.. otherwise works as intended

EDIT: Whoops, you beat me to it....

Hi all

I recently bought the Iron Heart IH-02 belt in natural. I've had it about a week and it's incredible, the best belt i've ever owned.

My question to the board is should i hit it with the Obernaufs leather oil now to protect it straight from the off, or wait a while?

Also if i do decide to oil it now, do I coat the inside of the belt as well as the outside?

Any/ all thoughts greatly appreciated

[Giles]

All down to personal choice.  Bear in mind that the colour will change once you apply an oil.  Take a look here:

Not to be a downer, more for the potential enlightenment that I hope ensues. The cracking along the edge of my belt is annoying.   Prefer the aging of my sugarcane.

I too prefer the IHB-01 over the 02. The 01 is one héll of a belt, whereas the 02 feels like a plastic toy in comparison…

[jacoavlu]

I think the 01 and 02 share same leather, only difference is hardware, surprised you would find such a difference seul

[Giles]

They do, but every cow is slightly different…..

[Seul]

Nor pics nor my words can accurately describe the difference, but it's there and it's very noticeable  Must've been the Elton John of cows that provided for my 02…

[Giles]

It is on the site but is now extinct - as of yesterday.

[Giles]

hmm, you reckon i can fit in the W32 for 634S? don't wanna end up looking too baggy in the jeans since its straight-cut. and, is there any chance that i can get my hands on the belt? the black one. 

[Seul]

Yeah: any chance you'll revisit the 03, Giles?.. Would kill for a Large… Preferably black but hell I'll do tan as well...

[crankyfart]

anyway i took the jump on the W32 and hemmed to 32. now for the belt! are there any chance I can lay my hands on the IHB-03 in black for my size? pleaseeeeeeee….....

[Giles]

IHB-03 - no revisit…..

[mankarat]

Glad that i took the plunge…
