@dj said in OGL-BELT-SPGAR-BLK - OGL Single Prong Garrison Buckle Leather Belt:

Has anyone else found the buckles on these belts to be defective? I have had the prong fall off two of these belts. Not what you expect for the money.

yes, please let us know which of the model that the buckle prong is falling off, we will arrange the replacement. Our productions of the belts since day 1 has been consistent and QC check is stringent, if we can find out which batch it's, we can check with the hardware manufacturers to understand is the mechanism or machinery that clamps them are in fault.

Did a fun project in 2017 of a Seiko SNKK45 to Gerald Genta inspired piece

@weftyarn LOL don't get fooled with the IG post of them wearing the heavy stuffs! But if you are indoor, like the mall, shorts or berms will be a bit too cold. I always have friends from overseas saying our indoor air-conditions is set too low!!!!

I like this OGL cardholder a lot, but the natural leather had a glaze or something on it and doesn’t seem to pick up oils like other veg tans I’ve had. I took a deglazer to it and it brought out some cool imperfections I couldn’t see before. Now I can see the cows vascular system. I like it. The stitching on one corner came out so I did a shit home fix. Should hold. Still really like this.

Thank you guys!, The deglazing look amazing! Thank you for using them!

I'm Johnny from OGL, would like to take the opportunity to highlight the reason for us to have a strong coat polished on lighter leather color in our products.

Pre-2018, when we produce light color leather goods, we face some issue of customer complaining not receiving goods of color they ordered.... apparently the product color age quite a bit with causes it to have different tone.

Natural light color Veg tan like always, will aged when it's expose, non wrap or non covered, so in order for us to produce them in large qty, and maintaining the same color as the one shown in the picture on all partners website, we decided to add a strong top coat to slow the process of aging.

Hope our explanation helps!

@T4920 thank you! it's not really huge but enough to hold EDC and additional light jacket or water bottle!

@T4920 sorry for the late reply!!! i have insert 3 of the verion of the hobo bag we made by the same size.

basically wearing them in crossbody, it will snug near your upper torso and very good in traveling.

pretty steep when going down...

And please, wear your shorts, drink more water and get hydrates! We are summer all year long!

@Crispy-Heron I believe in the baggage and luggage post, there's some serious backpack discussion there, I think you can definitely have some recommendations.
