I shot this on top of a 6 story building, it rained and as you can tell by the hair it was insanely windy.

My question remains, belt or no belt...

I'm not too much of a fand of the belt because it's too light for the shoes, so if you have one that more matches the shoes then go for it, otherwise I'd say no belt. But is your call w1nd.

That's just my $.02

Belt is natural, right? Lay it out in the sun, let it darken up a bit, then wear the hell out of it :nodding:

thanks I've been looking for tips on how to accelerate (?? I feel like this is the wrong word here) the aging process.

I actually tried sunning my natural belt last summer (during 100+ degree heat here in Southern California) and it didn't seem to work very well; the only thing that happened was the leather started to wrinkle and looked about ready to crack just before I gave up. Instead, I coated it a few times with Obenauf's Leather Oil and just wore the hell out of it. The belt, which started off as a light tan, is now a medium mahogany.
