Belts

Nice subtle patina on the sword tip!

[Mike Stadtlander]

I found this at a local Marshalls years ago for $9.50. Original marked price was a tad over $250! Very easily one of my most unique pieces.

Does the weight of the leather directly correlate with how thick it is? For example, could a 14oz leather be really thin and dense?

Weight is the measure of thickness that non-metric folk use for leather.

Yep. I asked for the Mike special.

Nice...

[hkl16]

does anybody use leather preservatives on the underside of the belts?

[coleslawyum]

Not really since its never really exposed to the elements, but probably wouldn't hurt.

Priced out of my league, but something I've always wanted. Raw leather ring belt. I might try making one.

Two on the way to the Uk from unlucky

That Nike belt up there is pretty interesting... Never expected anything even remotely resembling that to come from them. Cool find.

This is probably a very stupid question, but has anyone recently ordered from Corter Leather? Pulled the trigger on one of his belts about a week ago; once payment was sent I received an (auto-response) email stating that his email address has been changed. Naturally I emailed his "new" address to confirm he's still getting the orders... No word. I assume he's just busy? I know they take a few weeks, but just don't want to wait any additional time.

A few more belts on the way to the UK from unlucky (Scott) of Don't Mourn Organize

A great guy to deal with. Thoroughly recommended.

Wicket and Craig saddle skirting and Triple C Harness in various colours

[beeetus]

Drop Scott a line here.

Dude's in Utah? And 10 miles from my hometown no less.

[orlylow]

[tropicalbird]

Unlucky has more leather choices, Hollow has much better hardware. It's up to you to decide which is more important

just picked this up:

Just pulled the trigger on one of these. Anybody else deal with lgc? He seems like a good dude.

How do these compare to the lucky belts?

[bestie]

so... no confirmation from the board a few posts back, but i did get my corter belt despite no word from the man.

took about three and a half weeks. looks great.

[tigerpac]

^^ I feel your pain.

But congrats on the belt!

I actually bought one of the LGC belts like above, but got it a bit too short. Selling it in the market if anybody is interested.

Ordered a couple longer ones though, they're great.

[bestie]

thanks. having one "made to measure" (per se) was kind of interesting, because it's much shorter than anything i've ever worn. fits spot on though. i'd def recommend it if you're willing to wait

[tigerpac]

Still waiting to get the new longer belts in but ya, I did find the made to measure shorter than store bought. Also found them of better quality

[tropicalbird]

Just ordered a few straps Wicket & Craig chestnut bridle (14oz) and Hermann Oak Old World harness (13oz, 2x the price of W&C btw!). Photos online looks very promising.

[tropicalbird]

Hermann Oak Old World Harness @5mm

Very dense, very thick piece of leather. I love the vintage brown hue. Truly remarkable

Next up

W&C chestnut "English" Bridle @5mm (I'll post more pics later)

Unlike HO it doesn't feel as dense or as stiff, colors are uniform. And surprisingly quite dry for bridle. Despite it's vanilla appearance I'm pretty sure it holds a lot of aging potential.

Question for you leather heads: bought a tan Tanner Goods belt mooonths ago, at a sz 36. I've lost a lot of weight and I've made holes in it, but now the tongue is to long. What's the best way of shortening it? Simply cutting it? Should I treat the ends of it with something?

Thanks

[smittybat]

Best bet is to have it shortened from the buckle end.

Apologies to anyone who has been trying to contact me about Quercus Belts. The unexpected and unannounced closure of my website hosting company has caused some problems, but I'm now up and running again at www.celticleather.co.uk.
