More Awesome Samurai Belts - Heavy Weight Straight

This is a classic heavy belt made by Samurai in Japan. It's available in tan, black and brown. It's made from 6-8mm thick solid American steer hide saddle leather. I'm really liking the brown one. It's available at Blue in Green but some of the sizes are sold out.

Iron Heart Cowhide Plate Buckle Belt

Another really nice leather belt from Iron Heart. You've got to check out the full description on Iron Heart but I'll point out some of the details.

The buckle is hand made from pewter and the belt is vegetable tanned prime US cow hide. It comes in black and tan. Here are some of the pictures from the Iron Heart site:




 Pretty awesome. This one is a monster.

Strike Gold leather belts at Self Edge

Self Edge is carrying a new clothing brand from Japan called Strike Gold. The collection includes two heavy duty leather belts, a black one and a tan one. The buckle is solid brass and the cowhide leather is 4mm THICK (check out the pictures).  It looks like it would last forever. From the details page:
A classic belt design made in a hand cut leather which is sure to age and darken with wear with a solid brass buckle.
Check out the black one or the tan one on Self Edge for more details and all the pictures. Here are some pictures to give you an idea of what they look like:

Iron Heart Belts

I'll start off with one of my favorite leather belts. This is the one I own right now. I've been wearing it for almost two years now. The leather is nice and thick and the buckle is solid brass. This is definitely a heavy duty belt. When I got it I emailed Iron Heart about how to take care of the it and they responded that I should give it some leather food once a month. I've been using Chelsea Leather Food about once every two months and the belt looks great. I hope to keep it for many years, at least 10 or 20 more.

The cowhide leather is about 4.5mm inches thick and is about 1.5 inches wide. It looks really good with jeans. It comes in brown and black.

You can see the belt on the Iron Heart site. This is a picture of it (there are more on the site):


Self Edge also has the belt along with a nice picture:
