Dchill, I'd be interested in a photo of the belt itself too.  G

[Dchill]

I can do that hectic, proly be tomorrow though.

[hectic]

Sure, whenever, thank you

[Dchill]

I actually use my own tanner belt, the straps he uses are average at best.  I do have one that I want to sell so when I do post pics if you like it, I'll hook you up.

[Giles]

Think I could mod an IH belt to work?

[Dchill]

oh yeah for sure, e-mail him with the width of the belt and he can apply the appropriate hardware to the actual buckle.  Plus if you like a design of a buckle but would rather have it in a different color, he can do that too.  He can also do it in a glossy or flat finish.

[Giles]

Thanks Dchill.  Still umming and ahhing.  G

[Dchill]

my pleasure G.  Yeah these buckles are heavy duty, true IH style.

@shubharamani:

@LandoCal126:

I am on the last hole and the end of the belt is so long now that I have to shift the whole buckle as far right as my belt loop allows to compensate… And it is still annoyingly long. It is just to big.  I will post pictures tomorrow if I have a chance.

LandoCal, return it boy ! It ain't worth having something expensive and dear that doesn't fit. A too big belt is just all wrong. I thought long and hard about just suffering (pulling a "Simon626-LA" ) through my recently returned SuperBlack Bootcut (IH 9461) – which would have been hard considering I could not even button the 2nd-to-top-button...but maybe I could have had someone else do it for me...the point is, if somethin' doesn't feel right, it's wrong - -send it back.

Shubs, I was talking about my DB Belt being to big. My new IHB-03 fits perfectly. The DB used to fit perfectly but apparently I have lost some weight since I bought it or may have worn it a bit lower when I originally got it…

Damn, what a problem to have LandoCal – losing weight without really realizing it ! Trust me, that's not a common problem for 45-year-old women.

[Dchill]

So here are those two Mark Joiner buckles, I never wear the bottom buckle so if any of you guys like it feel free to pm me with an offer.  Hell I'd even sell the top one too.  I'd rather have one in black.

Concrete IH Belts perhaps?

Do any of you guys have both the 13oz and the standard Tanner Goods belts?  I have the standard and it's super thick, I can't imagine the 13oz.

[Beatle]

cheep got the 13oz version..honestly - standard is as thick as I would go

[Dchill]

Yeah that's what I thought too, that 13oz. may be a bit overboard.

Nice - I like this one: http://www.markjoiner.com/collections/buckles/products/wheat-buckle-1?page=3

Holy crap these buckles are bad ass… i really dig the current DOTM Osar buckles. I seriously want like 4 of these color combos. How well do these really hold up though? I currently wear tanner belts but im slightly allergic to the nickel plating and the top of the buckles that rub my stomach under my tshirt when i sit give me a slight rash sometimes and its annoying. I prefer double prong belts but im almost considering getting one/two of these. I know tanner has the stainless single prong roller buckles but theyre boring as single prong I wish they had the dual prong in stainless.

Received my two Mark Joiner buckles today…. freakin AWESOME. Holy crap! And the hardware is small and won't even rub against my skin so no rash which is a major plus. Thanks for suggesting him Dchill!

[Splattered]

Ive been busy and haven't taken the time to switch over these buckles yet… turns out the hardware on these things wont accommodate my tanner belts because the metal loop that swings down that you slide the belt through tapers inward up towards the buckle so... its too tight a fit. Won't even insert past an inch or so. I spoke to the guy that created them and he said he had some ideas that would work, but i havent heard back from him in awhile now.. he told me he has to keep going out of town (my buckles even initially shipped way way later than they were supposed to)

Does anyone have experience making modification to belt buckle hardware? I feel like if i got some pliers and pulled that little swing bar apart and put a bigger one on it, they would be fine? But i dont really know how to do it or a good place to get the parts?
