Nice, I love to see the evo in that natural leather…..G

Thanks Giles!

This belt has such fine craftmanship.  I can't wait to see how it turns out in a few years!

Really makes me want the wallet…need more money first!

This is my IHB-01 after 2 years.  Same leather, different buckle:

Wow, that's fantastic!

I'm beyond stoked I made the (wise) decision to buy the tan IH belt going by those pics… Lovely!..

I'm beginning to think I chose the wrong brand… Pigs on the tag?.. DAMN!.. 

ALD - 2+ years old. Never polished or treated the leather:

BA air-miles stacking up G?

Is it best to leave the leather patch un-treated or condition/polish ?

[malibuboy]

hey dave28 !

i have been looking into this myself and it would seem obenaufs leather oil MIGHT be the ticket.

i am ordering some up for a test on a new set of 634S's.

Malibu, If you open that package that I had shipped to you, you will find some Obernaufs in it.  Feel free to break open the package and experiment…G

[malibuboy]

hmmm….

i just might have to do that.

(will do)

Here is a project I did on my Oni 1001-HM patch last month - a bit of DIY, since I didn't like the juxtaposition of the original patch colour with the denim:
