Is it selvedge?

My own belt … Wickett & Craig Harness with genuine Tibetan Turquoise and Jasper gemstones, some vintage NOS cowboy spots and a vintage Japanese coin

@SLAB they look great (belt or no)

Naughty granny

Well heeled? High heeled might be more likely

Love Leeds - was great friends with some of the staff in the Vivienne Westwood store in the Victoria.

They look fantastic!

That’s very kind - much of my ‘eye’ is what other good folk see, and those good folk that bought one made it easy for me

Because it’s chocolate?

… and I finally got to finish that simple belt for myself - J&FJ Baker 13-14oz Harness Leather in chocolate (about 5.5mm thick), solid brass rivets and a Japanese brass buckle

It’s hard to say - I’d hazard that about 20-30% of designs have been reissued at some point (other that what FW call ‘permanent’, which are reissued on a sporadic basis). So it’s possible, but your guess is as good as mine. That was a Bootleggers issue in black canvas … and I’m selling it

… and John B’s belt is finished

Bastards! No, I didn’t get a penny

… and a couple of iPhone pics of the 2nd belt for John (Brooklyn), very near complete:
