Commissions are my passion. It is always an adventure and often a challenge to create a new item. Most of my work is inspired by my customers. If something from my website grabs you, please contact me. We may work a bit of magic together.

How to order a belt

First: Choose design and color. You can fit different designs into different sizes.
Second: Use the following instructions to choose length, weight and thickness:

Length

1. Take your old belt and measure it from the hole that is most comfortable, back to the belt buckle pin tip.
2. If it is a trophy style buckle, measure from the hole that is most comfortable, back to the buckle hook, or pimple.
3. Or measure your waist size.

Width

Inch                   1       1 ^¼       1 ^½      2
Centimeters   2.5        3         4         5

Thickness

Mid-size belts -M- I usually make them from 8-9 oz (3.3mm-3.6 mm) cowhide.
Longer size belts – L and up- I usually make them from 9-11 oz (3.6-4.4 cm) cowhide.

Extras

- Belts can be assembled with a trophy buckle (made by me), covered with the same tooling design as the belt
- Belts can be lined with a high quality leather strip. It gives the belt more strength. Using another method to make the belt stronger, I place a textile strip between two layers of leather.

Sewing Choices

- Hand sewn, two-needle saddle style stitch
- Hand laced, double loop stitch
- Buck stitch

In this preliminary stage, I can inform the client about the price and terms.
It is the responsibility of the client to check that the order corresponds with their vision. Before proceeding with the order, I will send an illustration detailing the project to the client’s email address. Once we agree on the project, a non-refundable deposit of 50% is required. The remainder is payable when the order is finished and ready for shipping.
