Belt cataclysm

At least it's cataclysmic for me. Maybe not so much for you. Regardless, this is the biggest shake-up of my belt offerings in many years.

I've been feeling the need to tighten up the core offerings, but also want to get back to doing a little more custom work, so over the next few months some things are going to disappear, or at least move around. I need to clean up but also get messy, ok?

Black bridle is back in stock.

Natural harness will be permanently replacing my old veg tan. It ages just as well and it's better in every other way. Really impressive stuff.

Some leather options that will be retiring after current stock is gone include: grained harness, cinnamon bridle, black cherry bridle, black chromexcel (love it but can't keep 3 different blacks in stock). If you've been thinking about one of these, the time is now. Once I move through these I'll be bringing on one or two new options, but the overall goal is to prune.

As of today the Vale and Narrow Rail belt pages are GONE!

Fear not, the styles aren't fully discontinued yet, I'll be making them as long as my supplies hold out, but instead of having their own pages on the site, they're now among the options on the new CUSTOM BELTS page.

This is where I'm cracking open the vault on almost 20 years (good lord) of collecting buckles. There's a variety of reasons why these never made it to the site previously, maybe I couldn't get a reliable stock, maybe they were too similar to other offerings. Some are long-retired styles that have been sitting for years. I have a decent stock of several of these, but only a few of others, and some are one-offs that I love but never found a home for.

This page now shows a huge variety of buckle styles, but it's basically just a launchpad for sending me an email to discuss a custom project. It'll also be the spot to see any other limited run options in the future.

So, if you see a buckle you like on the custom page, hit reply here and I can give you details about pricing and possibilities, we'll land on a design and I'll get to work.

Thinking about a return to journal covers soon maybe, and further explorations on the envelope style wallet below. That's all for now, here's an assortment of recent projects...
