Hello Everyone,
I'll start off by saying that I think the current price of belts is absolutely absurd. I watched a video on YouTube during the pandemic by a popular guy/channel whose name I shall not mention, where he went through what he considered to be some of the best belts to come out that year. It was one of those cringe-inducing AH HAH! moments for me that you sometimes have in life, where I thought to myself, "Well shit, I can make one of those for a fraction of the cost." Long story short, I bought a bunch of belt blanks in varying leathers from BuckleGuy.com, and proceeded to make pretty much everyone in my life belts. I have one blank left, though, and it's 1.5 inch-wide, 9oz-thick natural Chromexcel (see pics). Whoever messages me first saying that they want a belt made out of it will get it (as long as you live in the Continental United States, that is). I have a solid brass center-bar buckle that is slightly larger than 1.5 inches even though that's what it's supposed to be (I'm guessing it's 1.6 or so) that I had originally planned on using for it (also in the pictures).
All I ask is that whoever wants me to make them a belt out of it pays for the cost of materials + shipping (I keep terrible records, but let's just say $35). If you want rivets, Chicago screws, stitching, your name or something stamped into it, whatever...just let me know. I have a small apartment and will just be happy to clear up some space on my shelf.
All the best,
Max
PS - the darker leather in the middle pic is from the same hide, just left in my window for a week to see how the color would change when exposed to sunlight.
