Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Nice thick belts! You could also bevel the edges a little and burnish them - it’s been a decade since I played with leather blanks but think it’s some kind of gum that you apply and rub to burnish. It keeps the edges polished and not fray- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Post some pics please!! Would love to see. I once got a piece of 7-8mm oak bark tanned butt and it smelled tallow inside out - too small for belt but I made a big strop for sharpening knives and 10 years on it still smells lovely- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
That jacket is a perfect fit for you! I couldn’t tell it’s black more dark brown I’d say - perhaps it’s because of the lighting or brown mutton collar that gives the dark brown impression- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I succumbed to temptation and bought one nearly new Samurai belt size 36 off eBay - at nearly retail price once I pay custom duties etc. currently enroute from US to UK. I could have bought one from their UK website but they only have size 32 which I believe is too short for me - I wear 30-32...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I agree this is overpriced - this is what I ordered https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/841761243/ One 32mm in London tan for summer chinos, and one 38mm in brown for jeans and cargo shorts. Leather makers with websites will charge close to £100 for J&FJ oak bark tanned butt hide belt, because...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
Thank you very much gents for the informative replies. I’ll see what my 5mm belt wears like once it’s made in a couple of weeks time. I’ll keep an eye out for the Samurai on eBay should one ever surface in my size 34 or 36 if I push it. Like said I also don’t think this beast of belt would fit...- NamoAmituofo

Samurai jeans belt - how thick would be too thick?
I’ve been looking for good belts on Etsy and just ordered a couple to be made from J&FJ tannery 4.5-5mm hides which are supposed to be the Rolls Royce of belt leather in UK. Not too expensive either £59 each belt. Then for my sins I stumped upon this one -...- NamoAmituofo

JL cafe racer fit pictures - comments pls
Thank you chaps! I absolutely cannot increase my waist anymore to fit into this. Think if I can slim down to 30-31 waist I should be able to squeeze in a thicker jumper ;).- NamoAmituofo

JL cafe racer fit pictures - comments pls
Huge thanks to @sweetfights - this white CR arrived today! What do you guys think of the fit pics? I was hoping I could squeeze in a jumper in winter but it fits just right over a thin base layer - size 32 trousers over belt. I wear 25 sleeves these are 26 so a tad long - but OK if I zip them...- NamoAmituofo

Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?
Thank you for the clarification! It would be a motocycle jacket for non-riding wear for sure :) My 'quest' for a tan KoTR started after reading/following this post https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/aero-natural-cxl-hh-j-106-kotr-indian-mix-biker-jacket.97528/ It so amazed me a seemingly...- NamoAmituofo

Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?
Asked Holly why Pinnacle is not available as a customisation option on Aero website - and got the following interesting reply "This isn’t listed for this style as this leather isn’t really the ideal choice for a motorcycle jacket, but we can do it. If you could select ‘I’ll decide later’ when...- NamoAmituofo

Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?
Very fair comments and sound advice. To me the aero HWM is a rainy windy cold wintery day jacket (about 70% of the year in London!) And I just want another jacket for the sunny weather - you know, nice tan glowing under the sun but not baking hot yet (about 10% of the year). The remaining 20%...- NamoAmituofo

Casual double rider jacket - SB Oakland, or Aero King of the Road?
Good point re sweaty satin! I intend to wear this late spring /early summer jacket unzipped, except when heading out in morning when it can be a chilly 10-12d in London before the sun is fully up. Also if I come home late after sunset I can zip up when temps drop to sub 15. Holly said they...- NamoAmituofo
