Belts

[Guyute]

Guys... I got some sweat and rain blotches on my brand new natural leather belt from Unlucky.... it looks awful.... is there any good way to even it back out? (hopefully without darkening too much too early)

[fardin]

well i am going to write em an e mail and ask if i can stop by there office. i was wondering too? there is a shop in vienna wich sells their belts but no plain ones, and i thought they where a bit to wide. i guess some or belt they used to wear over the uniform jacket.

[Guest Selvage Seb.]

The belts are approx 4-5cm wide..

There are some shops in Holland who sells them too, (list of shops in Europe) some of the belts are imprinted with issue dates, various from late 70's till late 80's/beginning 90's

Each belt is unique, I encourage all to go see or buy one

simply beautiful!

B-e-a-utiful!!

Don't know if this is mentioned before, couldn't find it with the search button..

For those who are into vintage goods

(what the most in here obvious are)

Check this; www.dukes-artisan.com

Original leather army belts, they polish and clean them up and rework them with their hands. Those guys have real passion for handcrafted leathers!

Way overpriced though

(start at 200 euro up to 400+ for the handpainted ones)

So basically, they take a perfectly good garrison belt and ruin it by putting snails and shit on it? Well worth the 200 - 400 EU! Fuck me, I'd rather have the original belt.

Copped the same belt as Saint from Crispen (glad you posted it here, it was either something similar to yours or go for tanner goods). Dude was super nice and communicates fairly quickly on ebay with purchases, always willing to do custom private sales.

Outta rep kix, but how much do one of these hand-tooled belts go for? If they're for sale that is...

PS. 100th post

[d4nvu]

is there a huge difference between the $45 corter belt and the $75 corter belt?

[superbeveridge]

I don't know what the cheaper one is like but I am a big fan of my premium belt.

[skistar]

and my $45 one is great too, going on 2.5 years...

there's a few pics throughout this thread

[cheapmuthafukr]

some tanner golden natural pics... since the beginning of the year.

taken on a hell of a curve... which is why i always thought it was silly that samurai made a curved belt... a belt naturally does it.

with a natural leather keeper, you can really see the change in the color.

leather porn

[aleopold]

looks real nice cheap. You say it was a golden natural, are we talking the same color as that keeper?

[cheapmuthafukr]

about the same color, but thicker and stiffer

[aleopold]

Yeah, it's a 12/13 oz? I got the light london tan in 11/12 oz. The evo on these things is crazy.

[M.O.A]

The golden hides we have been getting are actually more like 15/16 oz leather... pretty crazy. We have to skive down the ends on them... They are ridiculous. Super heavy duty.

Craig, I see you got your package already

[aleopold]

Jeeze! Those things weigh what, 437 lbs. each then? hahaha

Been a looong time since I've been here. Thought I'd post up a belt I bought at the Royal Easter Show. $35 AUD. It's embossed, not carved, but the leather is vege tanned and pretty thick. For the price, it's great value. It's in its natural state, ready to be oiled.

[indigo_junkie]

After two oil coats with a 12 hour suntan inbetween.

I had to take the hardware off to oil it properly. I had a photo of the hardware put back on, but I've lost it, sorry. I think it browned up pretty good.

simon 626- Great find - Skips belts look incredible and for 22 bucks!

[fardin]

indigo the belt is really nice, specially for that price.

[simon626]

Yeea! Skips belts are definitely a bargain buy. I bought a tanner goods belt before in the natural colorway but honestly the thickness was just a litttttle too much for me. 9/10 oz leather feels lighter and just more comfortable to me. Plus, 22 bucks is a steal. I bought belts in Brown, Black, and London Tan. Haven't regretted a single one. I'm also in love with the tanner goods buckles.....i haven't found any other simple buckles at such high quality.

Anyone know where i can find some simple well made buckles? Something Similar to the Tanner Goods one would be nice.

Thanks in advance!

[Guest Bespoke]

Tanner Goods? I can't wait to see how much that Skip belt stretches over time.

[M.O.A]
