Belts

[summ3rhays]

I agree. I only treat the finished side.

Terry dear quarcus. No crease on edge, 1.75 wide. About 9 months evo

[scroogen]

I always treat both sides of the leather. Shmoop it firmly with your hands and then let it dry. I like to throw my leather stuff under the rear window of my car in the sun for a few hours to help the wax melt in.

[Nerkg]

I never treat belts. A thick belt will last 30-50 years, either way. I like to let it naturally age. Boots that take alot of abuse on the other hand..

thanks for all your advise guys.

Can someone recommend a good natural colored belt to start with? (doesn't have to be IH). I've never owned a high quality one before and I think the time has come. I want something not too crazy thick, but with plenty of durability that will (most importantly) age well.

I have a Tanner Goods natural belt that I'm very happy with and is ageing beautifully.

I'm prepared to accept that I am a little biased, but:

Terry dear quarcus. Hands down. Oak bark tanned over a year. So thick. Ages so beautifully
And only 80 bucks shipped

Spring Son of Light you should jump on this.  You can make it exactly the way you want for a killer price.  If you aren't in the HWDC it's a little more, but still a steal.

@Megatron1505:

Announcement

I have a preference for samursi's offering in belts. They are insanely thick weighing in at almost 8mm so they may not be for everyone but if your looking for a belt to end all belts … Look no further you've found em!

I used Rakuten (once) and it took just under one week from placing the order to receiving the item. I'm not sure about whether it looks legit or not - everything looks weird on Rakuten because it's been run through google translator.

I did a little customization to my Tender belt today with my Tender key ring and a torch. I think it looks great

[JCar2666]

Great indeed
