Equus Leather - Bridle Leather Belts - Official Affiliate Thread - Page 23

In my view the British Racing Green is actually quite a flexible colour, I have several BRG belts and I think they go particularly with browns so perfect for this time of year. If your a contrarian (and I have moments of being so) Oxblood shoes and a British Racing Green belt make for a pleasing and pleasant contrast to each other, though I appreciate some will think I should be burnt as a witch for such heresy.

Thanks for the kind words Justin

That was actually a custom leather sourced specifically for that belt. I do have a little left over, we might be able to get another belt out of it depending on the size you want. Its as interesting as the photos make it look, very varigated and unusual. Drop me a PM if you like and we can chat some more about it.

I thought I'd post an update for you guys on our Scott belt project. As some of you will know I've been trying to get one of the belts to the South Pole to commemorate the centenary of Scotts death. Its proved pretty challenging, there aren't many people on earth who set foot on the pole each year and I think it should be on the pole itself rather than just the continent to count, but it looks like we might manage next year if we don't this year. In the meantime though a Scott belt will be going to the North Pole next year as part of Tim Williamsons attempt to be the first man to walk unaided to and from the North Pole, starting from Resolute Bay in Canada. Very cool to be involved in such a gutsy attempt, this is really the last great challenge of exploration and has been tried a number of times before by the likes of Rannulph Feinnes - it'll be a huge achievement for him if he manages and I'll be over the moon if some of our kit gets there with him.

I know this isnt a very SFy sort of subject but I also think there are quite a few sporting and outdoor types here who will appreciate this kind of undertaking..

If the Rambo belt project was the 1 1/2" Quick release I'm afraid I've totally failed so far, sorry! I cant get them from our usual foundry and I havent seen any anywhere else that have looked good enough quality. I'm keeping my eyes open for you though

Charlie

LOL, I will

Charlie

Thanks for the order, much appreciated :-)

Thanks for the congrats but not guilty I'm afraid. We do a little custom manufacturing for people from time to time but only very small quantities of one off designs, not on a RL sort of scale. Interesting the designer chose to use the crossed crease on the keeper, its a very old design you dont see much now. I dont recognise the work so not sure where they are sourced from.
