I thought I'd try this here first before listing it on e-Bay.
For your consideration, here's something different. Haupt has been manufacturing unique, well-made shirts for many years (I have some very cool Haupt shirts in my collection that I purchased over 15 yrs ago, and they still look great). But this was the first I'd heard of their making belts. A mens store here in town that I often frequent, has carried the shirt line for years. Once or twice a year they'll have a Haupt trunk show and at the last one the rep was showing a group of interesting belts. That's where I got this one.
Manufactured in Germany, it's certainly nicely made. The colorfully decorated leather is embossed with an attractive leaf/scroll pattern. The Fall-like colors are quite vivid and done in a slightly metallic sort of finish...reminiscent of a foil finish.
The photos don't show it all that well, but the buckle has been done in a handsome, gun metal finish. The (adjustment) screw is also gun metal. As you can see from the photos, the belt can be cut to fit any size up to 40" (which is approx. where it is now... I cut it down from the original 42"). Once cut to size, the cut end is slid under the belt loop and then fastened down by lifting the unique "lever" on the screw, unscrewing it, and then re-screwing it in place when the appropriate size has been selected.
The belt has been worn one time and is in "near perfect" condition.
I originally paid $135, plus local sales tax. I'm asking for $90, plus $5 shipping in the ConUS. Please contact me for shipping prices outside the USA. I only accept Paypal.
The colors in the following photo came up a bit more intense than the actual colors.
Thanks for looking,
Dennis
