skistar - did you tan your belt right when you got it? just ordered a tanner goods belt and bifold, wondering if/when to condition it with the obenaufs.

I've been tanning mine the past 2 days. Havent applied anything to it yet. Going to tan it for a few more days and then apply some lexol conditioner

Couldn't get mine that dark, nice. I gave up after the last few tanning sessions with no change between them.

x-post from leathercrafting thread...

Decided to make a Man With No Name style belt,

This was all hand punched and hand stitched. Takes ages.

[lance]

Nice work, hollowsleather!

[fattybfat]

excellent work hollowsleather, how long does it takes you to do it?

[hollowsleather]

That belt was probably 8hrs+. It's fairly meditative work, but very time consuming. Keeps my calluses thick.

dolce vita belt

samurai belt

both started out as sd colored belts did a couple of treatments

alittle more on the sams while less on the dolce vita's

both came out pretty well after a year or so

on a mildly related note,

how important do you guys think it is to match the color of your leather belt and leather shoes? I don't think it's terribly important, but I have a friend who thinks that they should match down to the grain of the leather. Personally I think casual belts work with casual shoes, and dressier belts work with dressier shoes, and the color of each is secondary to putting together a good overall outfit.

Your thoughts?

I just made this in the beginning of September.

The color is accurate here.

...i would say that as long as you're not clashing with the colors that you're ok...

but personally (i think i have OCD) i like to match my shit as close as possible...

not important at all for me when wearing casual wear, never match belt with shoe, most of the time, my shirt cover up the belt anyway...but for formal wear wear when the shirt was tuck in. I prefer the belt be at least similar tone as the shoe.

nice belt you make there, emmit

[skistar]

^agreeded...

I use to be a db and think shoes and belts had to match all the time. But I also wore abercrombie and sevens once upon a time. Now it's casual belt with casual shoes like you said. Now for formal dressy occasions l might pay a little more attention to it.

Sorry it's taken me forever to answer the questions above but I tanned it right away when I got it then a couple weeks later I got the LP, applied it and tanned again. Belt is about six months old now and has startedtaking on an awesome color, I'm very halt with it. I'll get some new pics up before winter.

Corter all natural belt. Have worn for about 6 months. No tanning or treatment.

[40ozprophet]

yep! It has aged nicely as well. Started using it about 6 months ago as well.

[aaronxxx]

i'm sold on ordering a corter belt with my next paycheck

[nifu]

what kind of belt is more versatile for "streetwear", a brown or a black belt?

i don't think that you always have to match your belt to your shoes... anyone else feel the same?

just bought a brown belt, anything i shouldn't/should wear with it?

another one of my tanner belts probably 8 or 9 months wear. I am really hard on these things. i scratch the fuck out of the backs everytime from skateboarding

comparison shot

*actually this belt is only like 6 months old

Yo Ed does Eternal make any belts?

[nifu]

oh my god are those all your belts?

edit: whoops, didn't realize that you're tanner

[edmond]

Yo Ed does Eternal make any belts?

yeah they do a year or so ago.. this year im not sure but i dont think youll like their belts

[mpcec]

Why's that? Are they gaudy? I'd be interested in pictures if you have some. I'm just looking for a simple belt, would feel strange wearing a different denim companies belt with my Eternal jeans. Brand synergy and all that...

[edmond]

nah wear it with these..

samurai belt sizing at BiG

Hey Kids...

Still confused about Samurai belt sizing...

I'm a 34 waist in my jeans (i.e. PBJ xx-005 post wash) and was wondering what size I should get for the belt...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!

[Guest n1cx0]

^i think with belts in general you go up two sizes from your waist size. so probably a 36.

[edmond]

a size 36 samurai would work great for you
