Wanna throw us a picture of those thinner buckles?
I'm serious when I say I'll buy either a burgundy or natural belt, possibly both, and will absolutely invest in more belts from you at a later date. Currently a grad student spending all of my money on Xmas presents, but I gotta treat myself too. Are the thinner buckles also 1.5" ?

BTW, I just got some blue and red dye...so purple is well within capability. I actually meant burgundy. Looks like cordovan on my screen so thats why I said purple. Basically I need one to use with chinos or nicer jeans when I tuck in, so that burgundy or a black would work. But yes i know...later. Not now.  |

robert - I'll put up a sample of the buckles (including the thinner buckles) for the next run tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I won't have all the color swatches done until midweek or so next week. Waiting on a couple of supplies to come in.
Griffin - I'm glad I read your post, I had plans to mix red and blue today and come up with the most insane purple I could mix just for fun. Burgundy is much less dramatic ha ha....

@stevekas, I'm in the market for a belt homie, want to cop one of yours. I'm looking for either a black or natural veg tan. Just something for casual wear with jeans just like the GUSTIN classic belt. So just let me know what my options are and how this works my man.

You got it, Ickes. I'll have all the options up in this thread (buckles tonight, colors by Wednesday). Brah, I think you'll like a couple of the options based on your post.
I just do a straight up paypal payment and then ship via USPS priority with tracking.
I'll lay it all out in the buckle options post. Last time all the belts were $40.00 shipped. This time I have a couple options that will be a bit more than that as well as few still at the $40.00 point. I'll do shipping outside of the US as well but it will have to be case by case, depending on tracking/no tracking etc.

OK guys, here are the buckle types (see next two posts) for this run of belts with prices. There are four 1.5" belts, a 1.75" roller and a 2" roller. Take a look and I'll get the color swatches up midweek. Of course, natural veg tan is available as well. All belts (including natural veg tan) are conditioned for protection against the elements so you don't stain your belt with beer, shark blood or whatever else you find yourself getting into. All belt edges are burnished with beeswax and belt ends are finished with an English Point (see the black and burgundy belts earlier in the thread). All prices are include shipping via USPS Priority CONUS. For shipping outside of the US I'll get a quote and get back to you within 48 hours. Payment via Paypal. Lead time is two weeks from order date. Refer to the attached chart below for sizing. IMPORTANT - don't just grab your favorite belt and read the size off of it. Check the chart and measure your favorite belt, brahs. Please PM me if you're interested as I'll be tracking orders by PMs (remember - color swatches coming later this week)....Thanks for looking!  |

ickes - Thanks! got your PM!
untucked - Thanks man, that's one of my favorites as well! You also found a typo for me. I had it labeled "square oval" and it should have been "square". I owe you a beer.

well it sounds like you've just been a naughty boy @stevekas. I get money from Santa, and the tooth fairy. Well, it's been awhile since the tooth fairy left me money

ickes, You scared me with that tooth fairy/tooth loss stuff....I thought maybe you'd gone and become a customer of your avitar! I kid, I kid. OK sometimes I get a few bucks in my stocking but overall, the net is pretty low. Santa seems to be exacting payback for my wild years in the teens/early twenties. 12/9 9:00 PM update, swatches up tomorrow. Making them now

Swatches! Finally! I've got 6 options for this run, all shown in the main swatch picture. There is a second detail picture comparing the Dark Brown to black. I was struggling a bit to catch the Dark Brown in the composite shot so I created the extra file to show a bit more detail. In short, the Dark Brown is a beautiful, deep color and is very clearly brown and not black in person. My sub par photo skills are not catching the subtleties though. The other swatches photographed quite true to color. To summarize, pick a buckle and a color, measure your favorite belt per the size diagram and send me the data. Within two weeks you'll receive your belt, made to your specs. Thanks for taking the time to check out my work.   |

So this @stevekas fella seems to know what he's doing. To say I'm incredibly pleased with my burgundy belt would be an understatement. How 'bout that packaging?  (click to enlarge) Purty.  (click to enlarge) |

Looks great Mattbert. I've been very pleased with the product I had ordered from @stevekas. Will be hitting him up for a belt or two pretty soon as well. |

Will be hitting him up for a belt or two pretty soon as well. I told Steve in an email that the only thing I don't like about the belt is that I don't have any shoes in a No.8-ish shade, so now I feel I really have to jump on that pair of Alden Indys that I've been trying to save up for. Everything else is terrific. Fit is absolutely perfect; third buckle hole spot on. And obviously you can judge the looks for yourselves. |

Damn you guys are making me frikkin blush lol....good thing I have a beard, I can maintain my grizzled expression and no one can tell. Thanks, all of you, for the props! Mattbert thanks so much for those pics, I need to hire you and your camera. MiddleAge - I do in fact have two of those buckles here so if you want a belt with one, let me know. I also have two in antique brass but wasn't planning on using them yet but I guess I'll offer them as well. That buckle/belt style is 40.00. I'll update the buckle post with pics. On the cigar boxes, I'll keep that going until I run out. I pick them up locally from a cigar seller and supply is hit or miss. I have a few on hand right now and I'll check the store soon for more. You can rest assured that I'll always try my hardest to do a good job with packaging though, with or without a cigar box, your belt will come securely and attractively packaged. |
