What's a good source for belt buckles? I'm looking for a clipped corner buckle but as far as I can tell nothing local to me sells good buckles so I may have to look online.

you can always use ebay...that site someone linked i think it's a minimum $15 order anyways

got a couple of corter belts in the mail the other day...

applied mink oil to the black one so the dye wouldn't bleed and to get rid of that dull look...decided to clean and condition my dogs collar as well which i got a few weeks ago

Good Knowledge, thx

I made myself a new belt-13oz belt strapping with a 3oz veg tanned lining

Here's my Tender Co belt, worn since October I think. The unstained oak bark-tanned leather darkens really nicely. It's had a couple of rubs with Huberd's shoe grease (lovely stuff http://www.huberds.com/), compared with the same belt brand new

pictures of the leather, buckle, and belt being made over on the tender co thread...

[Guest Selvage Seb.]

A while ago I posted some belts from Dukes Artisan. This is the same belt as they use, but then plain as original..

Embossed with issue date and army/manufacturer. This one is dated 1977

Found this one myself, rubbed the moist and dirt of and conditioned it with Pecard antique dressing

My Corter belt. It was the premium one when I got it but I think there are newer ones that are thicker.

When I got it.

Now after 6 months... I got it the same day I started wearing my Dry Bones

Added a keeper from my last oxblood belt and a bigger buckle I had.

A little indigo love.

I got caught on my bike in a few rain storms while wearing this and the water soaking in created some interesting designs in the leather.

[the_ming]

got a brown work belt from leather goods connection, 1.5" width (i have a black one in 1" and much prefer the wider belt.)

This is my Naked & Famous natural leather belt, I've been wearing it for around 2 months it started like this.

The pictures are a little darker than real life, but for $30 on sale with a coupon code, it was a pretty good price.

[hollowsleather]

Did a row of stitches pop out?

[jlaz93]

Yea, some threads came out, and i was bored in summer school and i pulled the whole row out without thinking. I have tried to resew it but i did a pretty bad job when i did so the stitches came out again.

[M.O.A]

I hate when the edges get all frayed like that. Needs a nice burnish and wax.

Ditto that.

A good way to burnish is to lightly dampen the edges with water, then wrap a towel/rag around it, grip the belt firmly on the sides, and pull the belt through it a few times quickly in one direction (start at the buckle and pull down towards the end).

The friction and the water will work together to slick down all of the leather fibers really nicely. Waxing it will help them stick together and stay that way.

Corter Belt. 6.5 months. No tanning or any oil shat.

Someone asked me for an update on my SC belt, so here it is... Going on three plus years, oiled once when I first got it:
