@Megatron1505:

I also think that 2" would be too wide for most jeans, but I was asked if it could be an option. Also in total agreement that 1.5" is the way to go with a belt.

@RP:

@Megatron1505:

I have no idea what a Chicago screw is.

I'm sure that some of the Chicago Forum members could arrange for this to be performed on you…

And this is the boring version…

Don't Chicago screws have a tendency to come undone? It could just be my experience. Also, I've always been too lazy to buy some Loctite.

Girlfriends/wifes nailpolish does the trick

[Chris]

I've never used Locktite; Jack's right- nail polish works perfectly.  We married guys have access to wheelbarrows of that stuff…

[bagley920]

Or buy a bottle for $1 haha

[Sugar Mountain]

Yep, if you're brave enough to wear 25oz denim, you can be brave enough to walk into a pharmacy and buy nail polish remover

Nice updates on the belts.

+1 on the 1.75

[Megatron1505]

A few more images for you of the man himself in belt making action ….

[Seul]

Great looking stuff.

[DrPat]

An oxblood (maroon) color option would be cool.

[summ3rhays]

Agreed.  The Oxblood looks really nice.

[A Former User]

I'd be into a 1 3/4" as well. Would these just ship out with the MBB, and would we be paypaling mega when it is time to order?

[Chris]

That is pretty leather.  It makes me happy to think how that shop smells.

[CLJ]

For me to be in the buckle has to be removable. Count me in for the 1.75" group.

[Megatron1505]

I doubt these will ship with the MBB's but its a possibility I guess. Payment for the belts will probably have to come through me, as I have to pay Crispin.

I have Chicago screws on my 3 LGC belts and I've never had an issue. Snaps are okay too, but Chicago screws are less bulky.
Also, 1.75" works fine on my IHB-01, SEXIHXLSXA13's, and Samurai S710xx. It's a bit of a tight squeeze, but nothing major. The LGC bridle leather belts aren't quite as thick as the Samurai belts, but I think they're similar to the proposed contest belt, so 1.75" should work for most jeans IMHO.
