Damn you guys are making me frikkin blush lol....good thing I have a beard, I can maintain my grizzled expression and no one can tell. Thanks, all of you, for the props! Mattbert thanks so much for those pics, I need to hire you and your camera. MiddleAge - I do in fact have two of those buckles here so if you want a belt with one, let me know. I also have two in antique brass but wasn't planning on using them yet but I guess I'll offer them as well. That buckle/belt style is 40.00. I'll update the buckle post with pics. On the cigar boxes, I'll keep that going until I run out. I pick them up locally from a cigar seller and supply is hit or miss. I have a few on hand right now and I'll check the store soon for more. You can rest assured that I'll always try my hardest to do a good job with packaging though, with or without a cigar box, your belt will come securely and attractively packaged. Ok... please keep that buckle for me..... I just need to figure out the color...... |

Old26, that would be fantastic, thanks man. If it looks promising go for it and them PM me. ickes, your belt is done except for final burnishing, it's making me want to make another new veg tan for myself. @wils, OK, your buckle is safe, I have the dogs guarding it. (for some reason your screen name won't let me tag you?)

Old26, c'mon...one or two stragglers....no one will know...help a brother out lol. This is making me crave a cigar. Seriously though, thank you. And make sure this is a zero hassle thing for you. As far as transporting, we'll figure it out if anything comes to pass and again, no hassles for you.

Can do. What's yer preference? I can either drive and meet you someplace or if you want I'll paypal you for shipping and any additional $ for the boxes themselves. The place I get them from now charges anywhere from 1.00 a piece down to free. The one dollar boxes are all wood, no paper skin, and I use them for tools and other stuff. The boxes I use for shipping are either 50 cents or free (they're free if the older woman who seems to be sweet on me is working, I think she has bad eyes, I'm 44 so if I'm saying "older"...well you know what I mean). Let me know if your friend has them available and if so, how many and you and I can work something out. I'll PM you.... Thanks exophobe, I forgot wils was wils before getting to middle age..... |

Excellent belts, bro! I love them. When you get in to some leather comparable to the Gustin Heavyweight belt, I'll be back for one in black. As was already stated, the packaging was A1! I only have one single suggestion, and that would be to maybe use a tissue paper or something to wrap the belt. The belt needs protection from the screws. Mine came in scratched (Only the burgundy one), which I care exactly 0% about, but I'm sure later you will have some customers who are more GQ and less wabisabi lol.   |

So I also received my belt today from my man @stevekas and damn fellas, just like @untucked said, these are seriously some kick ass belts. I honestly have absolutely no complaints at all about these belts. They are quality and could EASILY be sold in stores/online boutiques, etc...I will definitely be odering another one, and soon. I highly recommend these. Amazing job @stevekas!! And as always, potato cam pics comin at ya!: imgur.com/a/f5YHY |

@untucked - dude! Thank you so much for the review and kind words. The scratches are NOT ok though, let me PM you and hook you up with a fix for that. I totally appreciate that you are being cool about it but I want my stuff to show up GQ ready lol! Also, thanks for letting me know as I'll adjust my packaging. PM coming today. ickes - thanks brah! I hope you get some serious veg tan aging love on that thing! I really appreciate the props. Your potato skills are getting pretty dialed in too |

Part of the most recent group....If you've ordered a belt from me in the last 10 days and have not received a shipping notice yet, you'll get one Monday. I'll follow up with PMs. Cheers all.  |

Dude, I just read through this thread and I'm loving all of the pictures. It looks like really good work, I'm interested! Do you have any of the 1.75 double tongue or 2" double tongue?
