Or you can choose your own design, see photos 6~7~8, tell me the stamp letters in the NOTE box during checkout
As with all my belts, they are hand cut out of double shoulder, vegetable tanned USA leather, they are stripped into belt blanks then, stamped, signed with my initials JM, dyed, waxed, antiqued, waxed two more times, edges are wet then burnished to a smooth edge and edged with a special edge finish, the color is fast and will not lighten up, in fact, it will slowly darken with age.
The more you use it the better it looks. My dye technique is as you can see different from most other leather work you'll see on ETSY. I use a "Burnish" style, darker on the edges and lighter in the middle. I feel this gives the design its own stage and the product more depth. If you want something dyed a solid color you will have to advise me of that fact in the NOTE during checkout.
This Belt was a custom order and has been shipped, it will take 4 to 5 days to ship from the time an order is placed. If you need it sooner, Convo me, I'm sure I can get you into the lineup.
It's 1.5" wide let me know the length you need from the drop-down menu,
In the NOTE TO SELLER box during checkout tell me the color you want.....If you don't choose a color it will ship using Jimmy Brown (My Russet and British tan mix)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few words about the sizing of a Belt, see picture #6 in the photos.
A belt is considered as sized correctly if the center hole is within 3/4 inch of the stated size.
The reason the holes are seldom exactly what the size is stated is the leather has to be very wet to stamp, then when it dries it will come back to near its original length but not exact. When there is design involved all we can do is give it our best guess as to exactly the size it will end up. It is seldom a big issue because we get it as right as can be most of the time.
As a general rule you get a belt that's 2" (inches) bigger than your pants size...if you wear a 34-inch pant waist, you would get a 36" belt.
BUT.....BUT.....BUT, (there's always a BUT)...the above rule is accurate ONLY if you use a standard TONG style buckle. (This is the style I give with my belts if you ask for a buckle)
SEND US THE SIZE YOU WANT THE BELT AT THE CENTER HOLE........
NOT THE "PANT" SIZE, SEND THE "BELT" SIZE......
Thank you....Jim
If you have what is called a TROPHY style buckle (that's a flat oblong or rectangle buckle with a short peg on the back that goes through the hole in the belt), you would get a belt the SAME size as your pants waist. Because the longer buckle adds the 2" to the belt. If you use this style buckle and it seams to be longer than 3 to 4 inches, send me a picture of it with a tape measure next to it so I can see just how large it is and I'll adjust the belt accordingly for you.

I no longer include a keeper with the belt. And haven't for over 15 years.
The reason deals behind that is two-fold, with most jeans nowadays the 1st belt loop is so close to the pants snap and zipper, it's actually in the way of the keeper. So it simply isn't needed. I probably get only a couple of request a year for one, and secondly the cost of leather just keeps going up and up, so to help save cost I stopped giving the keepers. At my live shows, I have them available for $2.00.
As an ETSY customer.....I will give you a keeper no charge,.... IF YOU ASK
Please, Choose from the "Buckle and Keeper" drop-down menu, what you want for keeper and buckle or no keeper or buckle...... no charge...
IF YOU DON'T MENTION YOU WANT A KEEPER IT WILL NOT COME WITH THE BELT.
