Schott and Coronado casual belts?

[Will Zach]

Good to know. I guess this one I’ll have to buy.

I think so. I read somewhere that the wider the belt the more casual it gets. I think you'll have to give these pants justice with a proper dressy belt.

I’m quite excited for them to come in! This particular vintage shop seemed to get a whole bunch of stuff by this tailor in roughly my size (they must have received one particular guy’s clothes); he seemed to own so much stuff that a good half of it is like new.

I usually wear USA Amish made belts that are one piece, very thick, at least 12 oz leather. No gluing or stitching layers. You can find them if you search thoroughly. They are inexpensive, anywhere from 35 to 50 bucks. But you might have to change out the buckle, which of course adds to the total you spend on it. There are some good buckles on ebay, just have to spend some time to search. Look for ones made in Taiwan or anywhere else except China.

Where do you buy your Amish belts?

I found a real good one on armynavysales. https://www.armynavysales.com/amish-leather-super-duty-belt.html

$35 but they do charge shipping. It was so good that I got a second one. Swapped out the buckle for a nice silver colored brass buckle made in Taiwan from landco317 on ebay. Couldn't be happier with this combination. Probably better than belts being sold for $150.

There's also rwleather.com. Haven't ordered from them, but they seem really good, both quality and price.

Nice belt, great price. This roller buckle is utter **** though, good move replacing it.

Making belts yourself is fun and easy. I am pretty much all thumbs but managed to make some nice belts out of blanks. English bridle blanks at 12-oz are great, pretty much indestructible. Got some nice solid brass buckles from Japan, some brass Chicago screws, a hole puncher from Amazon, and off I went. Total about $50 per belt, plus satisfaction of making the belt yourself.

I made this 1.75” belt nearly a year ago and it’s still going strong. No special tools, just a buckle and screws I already had, the leather strapping and some dye. I’m currently looking for the stuff to make another in 2” - and perhaps try to add the Brando Wild One X pieces on it.

I guess my original reply wasnt liked by the site and got deleted when i went to get some pictures. This is what i was told is a bridle leather belt from laying j leather that i got on a trip to gatlinburg. The buckle is genius in its simplicity.
