I'm another fan of Unlucky's belts, he did a reproduction of a SC belt for me and it's awesome...Originally Posted by Tooch4321
His work looks great, but someone wrote "expect a little bleeding from the backs of your belts" and that makes me a bit skeptical. Should I be? Or isn't it really a problem?

My experience: I have 2 belts, none bled. I purchased 3 card holders, none bled. 1 more card holder and a repro flathead/iron heart wallet on the way, we'll see.

You need to be specific. I mena are you looking for an funky belt or an formal belt for the office use. If, you were looking for an funky belt then go for he monti carlo they have the best .Originally Posted by thoran
I'm looking for a belt I can wear "every day" with, let's say, black jeans and a black cardigan. I was just having problems finding belt's with black hardware in stores here in Oslo.
Do you have some suggestions on good belt styles? There aren't many post on the topic on this forum, and I would like to get some input on what people here thinks look good (and not)!
Couldn't find the brand you mentioned on google. Link?

Contacting him now
Anybody got some input on what kind of buckle I should get? In WAYWT belts seems a bit neglected on the photos.

+1 on unlucky.. does really amazing work. I was looking at the LGC belts, and how long is the turnaround from payment to shipping?Originally Posted by Teger
I've had my LGC belts for several years and don't remember the exact turnaround time, but IIRC it was 10-14 days. But I think you could email the proprietor and ask. AFAIK, it's a one-man operation. He makes the belts, too.

My best casual belts are from here:Originally Posted by thinman

I don't think he has black buckles, though, and he's a one-man operation, so I don't know if he'll ship to Norway. If you like his aesthetic, you should ask.
I just ordered a belt from these guys, after finding this suggestion and looking into it. This is the second thing I've bought after reading suggestions here, the first being a pair of Persol sunglasses that I'm really happy with. Keep up the good advice, everyone!
Here's the guy who makes next bag I'll probably buy: Saddleback Leather Company
I've already bought an Aero leather jacket, again based on ideas I found within online forums.
So far so good.
