IHB-10-NAT - Heavy Duty "Tochigi" Leather Belt - Natural

[Matt]

Wasn’t there something about a new batch of belt blanks that came in? Old stock or something? Maybe I imagined it.

Also, OGL bets are awesome. I got to handle some in Gosport and was totally impressed. If you need a belt I’d give them a hard look.

@Matt The replaced defectives were mainly brown, some black, no natural.

@JerkStore nothing in the works at the moment.

Did you do an oil treatment on this belt? Or was this natural wear? Looks amazing!

[Kasi]

@pjroo33

It natural wear.

So far haven’t done any oil treatment

@Darth-fader Your probably looking at the and of this month or next with all being well.

[Ikeaparty]

Any ideas when this will restock?

@Ikeaparty Hey, the belts are arriving from the factory in batches and the way we have to place our order, we need to wait until they are all finished. Sadly, due to the volume it will not be this year, now. We are hopeful Jan/Feb - do you have your email in the restock notification to be the first to know when they are back in? We will of course announce here as well

[Ikeaparty]

@AdamC Yup!! Got the email restock notification on so should be good thanks for the update

Love this belt, it’s perfect. Went through so many cheaper belts over my life, think this one with me for the long haul. Around 6 months of wear, first time taken it off after washing my jeans today. At weird spot with sizing, 2nd notch stretched out little too much and the 3rd hole is super tight. Debating if just suffer the pain with 3rd hole for few or try trim little off taking the buckle/screws off? Feel like should just stick it out here and there, and roll with the 3rd hole, don’t wanna mess this beauty up

@meatmarketdenim1 that is a beauty! I’d say rough it out for a bit. Maybe you get the stretch…but if some time has passed and it’s uncomfortable, trim it to size.
I’ve wanted one of these for awhile. Leather looks so nice.

About 18 years constant use....But a previous iteration of the leather......

Thanks man, kinda already knew the answer just needed someone else’s validation lol. Love this belt, it was my 2nd iron heart piece like 2 weeks after my 634s. The IH addiction has spread since then, but as we know so worth it. Santa’s got a UHF for me, can’t wait rock that bad boy in few days.

Beautiful and 18yrs is amazing. Very nice to know I won’t need another belt atleast into my 60s if not longer
