Recent purchases - Part II

[LA Guy]

it's kopping season again, great pickups from everyone!

@LA Guy I want to buy a black belt with regular buckle, tough leather that would crack and holes won't tear, etc. Hit me up

I'm confused, you want a belt with cracked leather or not? Cracked leather is harder to find, but still doable. Holes not tearing - essentially is any heavier leather.

not cracked, just heavier leather

@notwithit where are those Butteros from? They look good, and you should be able to easily remove the distressing.

What size (skinny, normal, wide) would you want, and what is your budget?

Yerx. Still a couple of pairs left in random sizes, albeit without whatever promo was going on when I bought them: https://mobile.yoox.com/us/11274466XA/item

normal, budget let's say <300 after any sales?

So, I dunno what style you want, but I like this belt by Boris: https://www.antonioli.eu/en/RE/men/products/belt4f217-obsidianblack

I like plays on traditional shapes, and this belt does just that.

Or, just get Equus to make you something (www.equusleather.co.uk). They use incredibly durable leather, and cut to order. And if you go to their affiliate vendor thread (link in sidebar), they have a coupon for Styleforum as well, I think.

Buttero

Not sure how the distressing will look in person, but I like the lower heel and what looks like a slightly rounder, less elongated toe.

Spoiler

Got these in the mail today. I like them, but they're at least 1/2 size too small.

What size did you get?

 

[notwithit]

What size did you get?

11 / 44 (I'm a 12 / 45, and Butteros generally run large IME)

 

[cocostella]

Thx. I believe from your past purchases we're the same size. I was curious as I was also under the impression Butteros ran a full size large as well.
