syeh

though not ready for an engineer boots yet, but still Bryan's works seems interesting to look forward!

anyway posting my best pair so far in navy cxl:

 

Bryan should do some MTO, his works are so good. That 8181 now look so much better, now i regret selling my 1K.

just to warned you that the 45mm buckle is "HUGE" lol.

a comparison to my 1.56 mm Sugarcane.

mine are 45mm for 1 3/4 straps, so you have to go for 38mm which equal to 1.496". straps.

one more shot

yes i order it online direct from Japan it took 3 days handling because of snow and 3 days shipping and its on my door here at Los Angeles Ca. I have a very nice experience dealing with Japanese seller like Rakuten, 2nd and Vari they are so honest keep you updated of your purchase.

 

you can order it from here, i ordered 2 for combine shipping.

New buckle! bigger, and heavier than i expect!

I received Hermann oak Harness straps yesterday from Outfitters Supply. Nice quality leather strap and yes it is 13oz, 5mm thick and while waiting for buckles i ordered from Japan i did some work on the strap, ala Redmoon style.

Navy Cxl

 

what are the ones on the very right? interesting color, but it looks like navy cxl

 

I'm guessing they're black, not navy.

Navy Cxl.

Got the White's SD this morning.

sorry for the confusion, i have this heavy buckle belt for 7 years and just notices it today that it is RLX not RRL.

While waiting for 2 buckles i ordered from Japan and straps from Vikings Leathercrafts and Outfitters Supply Inc.

Thanks Guys for directing me to those leather stores.

here's mine, Polo Jeans Co., Sugar Cane, RRL, and latigo that i made for my self.

Don't even get me started on belts. I kinda have a problem...

Here's what I've been rocking lately:

 

 

13 oz. stripey Hermann Oak harness leather, brass hardware w/ matte nickel finish. Right at 1/4" (7 mm) thick. Love this belt. (I make em.)

(Those are 3W 1220FI's, at 1 year of daily wear. 1 soak, 2 washes.) 

where did you sourced your 7oz leather, would you mind sharing it? I tried Vikings leather but still waiting for an invoice for almost a week now.

after some brushing!
