the slant edge tip just ruins it, why are you so fond of that tip?
anyways my LGC belt is still going strong after 3 years, i don't need another work belt 1 is enough. however i am looking for a dress belt and if you someday decide to do a project for a 1.25" black dress belt i would definitely be interested.


Every tip serves a specific purpose.
The slant edge, IMO, looks quite good with a rectangular buckle.
It also has roots in work belts and collars, so I think it fitting to go with a denim belt.

I don't think any of my project belts will ever be a dress belt nor 1.25" though...it is better to go the MTO or custom made route for that kind of belt.

Any chance of a nickel buckle?


No for this project, as the buckle specifically needs to adapt to a double-pin configuration.
Brass is also the traditional saddlery colour/material to go with brown to light tan leathers.

I'm not even that enamored with double prongs nor slant edges. Heck I don't even like the symmetrical buckles, but if this is 6mm+ thick, I'm in. :slayer:

Just arrived, the final prototype of the "Military belt" project with Equus Leather before the project belts get made.
The hand-stitch has been upgraded, some spacing aspects adjusted, and the pin is the finalised version:

Not sure I understand it either but then what do I know?
