    Belts

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

    Belts

    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

    Show us your leather

    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

    Belts

    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

    Denim Blunders, Reflections and General Nonsense.

    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.

    Belts

    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

    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
