Here are some spam of my recent custom work. 

@fre-co 

Hi Gav! I am very happy that the belt turned out so comfortable that it became your main one, thanks for the feedback! I'm in touch if you want to repeat the experience!

Yeah, right.

Hey guys, again, some recent custom work and sorry me if it looks like spam.

And again, some recent custom work.

@JDelage Thank you. The navy sling can be 25 and 30 mm wide (1" and 1,18").

Where can I purchase something like this?

All the belts I show here were made by me, so I could make one for you, too.

@JDelage The hardest part is finding a good sling. Honestly, I don't even have any idea where to get it in indigo... But I'll look for it.

Casual belt made from J&FJ Baker stirrup leather.

Two oak bark bridle belts.

Black oak bark bridle belt. Heavily distressed by hand for a timeworn look. Does it look cool, or is it overdone with aging?

I made this belt about two years ago, and this is how it looked new.

The customer wore it every day all this time and sent me some photos recently.

Amazing beautiful patina, and the leather is still very strong and not stretched at all, the belt will last for many years. That's what I love oak bark stirrup leather for!

Baker and Sedgwick roughout belts.

Natural roughout belt. Made from oak bark tanned leather (J&FJ Baker) and finished with a slightly burnished solid brass garrison buckle.

@BrownMetallic Thank you for the kind words!

Any recommendations for a good natural/tan colored rough out belt? Might be cool to have something a little different.

Thank you for the good idea! I tried to make it, and I think the result looks pretty good.

Thank you for the nice words! Yeah, you're right, I use Japanese and English buckles. I'm a leather artisan and specialize mainly in casual belts, although I do other accessories and bags. Usually, the belts I show here were custom-made.

Was literally just looking (and just bought) for some type of O belt and this looks really good. Like the use of the belt keeper as well.

I'm assuming you made these belts?

 

Yes, all these belts are made by me.

This type of O-ring fastener is very convenient to use. The main thing is to choose the size correctly.
