Black licorice is disgusting….

…but I’m going to have to do up a few more licorice-whip-thin belts like this I think.

This plain black belt was made super small – only a quarter inch wide.

Good bye old SFTH swag! You were a good starter name for four long years.

Hi(atus)!

I hadn’t meant to take a week off posting. It just happened. Things piled up and then buried me and the thing I had to leave alone for a week was this.

But now I’m back and I have lots:

- I bought beautiful stones I don’t yet know how to set and came up [...]

It’s a Cinch

Another water buffalo belt…

I’m no guy, and I have done zero market reseach to back this claim, but I feel like this is the black belt of choice for 100% of guys. It’s thick and tough so you can treat it like a hammer. It’s soft and pliable so you don’t have to deal [...]

Old English

A custom belt done saddlery style – with a tab of leather behind the buckle. Just a touch larger all the way around so it frames the brass.

You can’t see it so well from this angle, but the extra leather is visible head-on.

Made of a dark chocolate brown leather.

Tomorrow I’ll show [...]

Customize

A new belt I’m offering in the shop shortly. A made-to-order option – sized to yourself.

Water buffalo hide.

A heavy-duty nickel-plated buckle with roller bar to ensure the life of your leather.

To be listed later today.

Water What-a-lo?

A custom belt – made for someone whose leather wasn’t holding up. I just moved all the hardware over to a strip of belting made from super-tough water buffalo hide.

The buckle, keepers and tip are a really weighty nickel-plated metal. Pretty fantastic.

Also, please check out the new wool skirt over at [...]

Belted and Buckled

I don’t know about you, but I got so much done over the weekend. I’m consequently exhausted today, but man alive, did I accomplish. I accomplished like crazy.

Not only did I wallpaper my studio and move all my tools and furniture in, Sean and I managed to re-arrange our house into some logical approximation [...]

Cinch It

A belt for Hollie:

A soft, split piece of mahogany bridle leather. Brass buckle. Machine-stitched in order to match the design of an existing belt of Hollie’s.

Fun with Leftovers

I put this together using a thin strip of leftover from another belt I’m working on. The Good Luck, Cowgirl Belt.

Made from chocolate-cherry bridle leather. A hand-pressed groove all the way around the perimeter. Brass hardware.

The leather on this is super thick so I’m worried the grommets may not have gone in just [...]

Slow Going

He’s coming along, but I’ve got to take a Bike Hounds break (shop opens tomorrow – just in time for nine degree days!) so here’s a sneak painted peek.

Tomorrow I’m staining this sucker, stitching a buckle on him and taking him over to Tundra for the CSCL meeting in a couple weeks.

After that, [...]
