Belts

Tanner Goods, 

Natural, Classic Belt, Brushed Steel Buckle , Size 34

Size 34 means, from the end where leather is folded around the buckle to the first hole 34" + 4" (space between first to fifth hole) + 4.5" (from the last hole to end tip) , making overall 42.5" in new state.

After use the expected stretch is 1 to 1.25", so the belt will become 43.5" to 43.75" overall, so I will be able to put pin into center hole. (perfect sizing)

Wearing with my Warehouse 800NW (jeans usage 1.5 months)

I made this belt about two years ago, and this is how it looked new.

The customer wore it every day all this time and sent me some photos recently.

Amazing beautiful patina, and the leather is still very strong and not stretched at all, the belt will last for many years. That's what I love oak bark stirrup leather for!

Just curious, what kinds of belts do you guys prefer to were with sneakers? I tend to look at most belts I see on hear as strictly belts to wear with boots. Examples would be Hollows Leather or PigeonTreeCrafting.

I wear the same belt with sneakers as I do with shoes as I do with boots

Never really thought about it much

Its something I've just started thinking about.  Just don't know exactly where I stand yet.  I love all of the belts that the one man operations make, but they seem be only making heritage belts which I do not associate with sneakers.

Hi All! I have been searching for a classic belt for a long time. I recently stumbled across Cottonwood Handmade from Boone, North Carolina on Instagram. He posted a belt that I really liked and I messaged him to ask if he made others and he sent me leather options, buckle options, had me measure my existing belt and jean measurement. The leather is Russet from Wickett & Craig and buckle is brushed brass. I love this belt so much, the leather is thick, beautiful detail, perfect size. And the kicker....it was $65 shipped! I am just very excited when I find folks making incredible handmade products like this. Check out his Instagram @cottonwood_handmade and his website https://www.cottonwoodhandmade.com/, his name is Cole! Enjoy the pictures (he took a few of them and sent to me before shipping my belt!) He makes guitar straps, wallets, bags, you name it, I bet he would consider any idea, thank you!
