Belts and Belt Buckles

[Warbaby]

Very, very nice! I've always admired things made of damascened iron/steel/.

 

[mister7]

Those are really cool! If you do not mind me asking, how much did they cost?

 

[JanSolo]

I didn' buy them from "Manufactum" because I felt that they were way overpriced. I contacted the Abbey to ask if those items were available from them aswell. Their price was much more decent and I had a nice chat with Father Abraham about forging damascus steel. He also makes bracelets, cufflinks, rings ,etc from pattern welded steel.
I payed 45 Euro for each belt plus 165 Euro for each buckle.

Have a look here: Pages 38/39 are of interest.

Wow, now I know how they get their income. A large selection of items to say the least. However I couldn't read much to my loss. Do they by chance have a catalog in English?

On the buckles; They seem nice and you seem to have gotten a good deal on them. There are a number of knife makers out there who may also make buckles....

such as:

Ehhhhhh not nearly worth the $10000, considering braces are wildly more comfortable and do the job immeasurably better.

 

[HungaryTom]

Good incentive to keep the shape

$10.000 and only 3 holes in the belt are both good reasons to take care of what you eat during XMas - more holes in the alligator and the perfection would collapse.
Just wonder whether the S,M,X sizes cost the same or not.[huh]

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Ummm that belt is ugly. The alligator is fine. But the buckle is uuuuuuugleee!

 

[Bugsy]

For $10,000, that belt would have to make its way out of my drawer under its own power, and thread itself thought the belt loops on trousers it got out of my closet, then fasten itself when I finished putting my trousers on. I'd rather buy 10 bespoke suits.

Thats a belt Optimus Prime would wear

The pic looks like a CG mock up.

Now there's a reason to tuck in your shirt...

 

[Tomasso]

Show us your belts.

I've got a serious Jones for buckles and straps. I can't be the only one.

Resortes...What's your source on the thin belts? I'm seeing some interesting brown with diamond stitching in your drawer.

I will speak for my buddy Resortes and tell you that those are from Swanky's.
I only see the black ones online though:

[resortes805]

Flat-top is correct. Give them a call to see which diamond stitch belts they have in stock. They come in brown with white stitching, black with white stitching, and black with red stitching.

Resortes, would you be kind enough to give us more detailed photos of your collection, focusing on the buckles.
