This might be the second, or third time I've taken it to the shoe shop to be patched up. I've added holes, had it stitched up, and most recently I had the buckle re-attached. I like that he used big brass rivets, rather than stitching it again. The last time the buckle had been stitched, the holes acted as a perforation guide for the whole thing to tear.
This belt bears all the wear marks from several years of weight loss success, and failure. I don't remember who made it, or when I got it, but it has been changed & repaired just like me.
Classic brown & brass, made from dual layers of leather glued, and later stitched together. The contrast stitching & slightly haphazard holes give it great character, and I like that it's stiff enough to maintain it's shape & hold up to being shoved through banded belt loops.
I'm hoping this latest fix keeps it in service a few more years, or at least long enough to see me back into the 'skinny holes'...
