Thank you - styles can be a bit limited given the space so it’s nice to get a bit of expression

A ‘Woodstock’ belt made from 9oz bridle leather for @sparecutter on IG - the lettering is bookended by starbursts with chinese turquoise gemstones in the centre

Nice job on the handles and rolled edges

And the last - for today at least … a 3rd belt for my pal @Broark He took a liking to a Warehouse suede belt, which (in true Fast Show style) was nice, but this is roughout (has grain) not suede (has no grain) and has a wee bonus silver coin

One for a friend of a friend … the mighty Rob Peru on IG. This is a 12oz (5mm thick) harness leather with a solid brass buckle I’ve stripped back and rubbed down to give it a matte finish … both leather and brass will patina quite significantly - oh and held together with solid copper saddlers rivets

… and a third for @Low Key - simple affair in russet 9-11oz harness (1 ¾” width) with a nickel plated Japanese brass buckle and matching chicago screws

Another for @Low Key - bridle leather in a lovely satchel tan colour with a variation of a design from my own belt - the swirling logs (swastikas) were potentially a step too far so I’ve remade the pattern and incorporated a thunderbird symbol. The buckle steel and studs are nickel plated steel

Said it elsewhere - looks better on you than it ever did me

Anyone actually asked Companion denim who they use and if not White Oak (whatever) why mention it?

That’s the info I have too - definitely steel, and certainly seems to be Anchor Brand who I think are defunct

Thanks mate - it actually sits very neat reversed, and a bit smoother at the coiled section holding the pin. I’ve got 3 of your belts and I never thought about it until discussing during the build.

Hand painted Vachetta with pigskin overlays, vintage steel buckle, copper hardware and goldstone and quartz gemstones - there were a few challenges with this belt, not least was painting the belt to capture an actual piece of artwork

My actual at the moment (was worn this morning) is 61cm p-2-p

Because it’s so roomy I don’t really notice any stretch after wear - would that be a factor for you mate? With all my FW sweats after I’ve shrunk them to the size expected they all tighten up a little after a wash and then loosen a bit with body heat and movement, but I don’t really see much difference dimensionally, more just the hand of the fabric changing - I’d think this heavyweight sweat to act similarly

Some size of umbrella you have mate …

Ah - Red Ears … we might have been in the shop at the same time

Easy done mate - someone else said, the retailer probably should’ve told you it was for private consumption at the moment. I know one shop that lost their deal for being slack … but TBH I think FW should just launch it up on their website as other brands do.

Ah - and a second apology - I was really only thinking p2p and shoulder … I never bothered measuring my sleeves (just made the assumption since everything else seemed to be following in line)

Tbh - those 42 and 40 measurements were pretty much what I measured … so I thought I could be lazy and facetious - sorry

Yes - post wash 42 is the same as pre wash 40

I sincerely hope you had express permission to share that

@Broark Did you measure the amount it shrunk?

I’m pretty sure that it’s not my assuredness that we’re surely questioning
