Hey Guys,

I've been wanting to make myself a belt that matches the color of my awesome Wolverine 1000 Mile boots and after it's been hanging around the shop for over a year I finially finished it! But like a total DA, I forgot to include the boots in the pics!

It’s a custom ranger belt I made for myself that is totally hand stitched – each stitch hole punched one-at-a-time and an estimated 5 hours of actual stitching time! No wonder it took me +1 year to complete it! This one is dual-layer, 8-9 oz. dyed veg tan on the outside and a nice brown liner on the inside, bringing the thickness to approx. ¼”. I hope to have this belt for a long time so I guess the labor was worth it! I made the billets 1” vs. the normal ¾” for a 1 ½” belt, and I also made them in a contrasting brown that goes well with the British tan color on the body of the belt. The keepers weren't complete in the photo, but they are now and they’re made from natural horse hide for strength and durability. The keeper pictured came from an old Coach pocket book that a friend at work gave to me. I also robbed the buckle from the pocket book! I think the hipster term for that is “up-cycling”...

Anyway, let me know what you think as comments are always welcomed!
