Girth Belt Final Run!!!
For all of you including myself who has been looking for a 100% Mohair Girth Belt(a very exhausting journey, I might add and even more discouraging) to avoid the acetone nightmare for dying them. UUGGHH!! Not much into chemical fumes and all that myself. Here is the final belt dyed with out the nylon extenders I've found. See other pics below in the tread raw.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++
JUST AN UPDATE ON DYING THE BELT INFO for those who need to dye theirs from the previous orders.
See this tread for dying tips:

***************UPDATES AND ORDER 4 LAST LAST RUN***************
I'm adding a Third list of interested parties, those who have sent me PM's recently in regards to these, I'll try to fill one last order. These are more limited in sizes then previously I'm hoping to be able to get at least the 36" as the smallest size and up in the 2" increments from there but won't know till Feb. The person I've been getting these from is having a hard time filling the last 2 - 36's from the order before. His price went up a bit too, figures.
He assured me that he will get a shipment in Feb. so I'll put together one more order while he has them and this will be the last time, because I hate to offer something I really have no control over. But knowing these are rare I want to help out if I can.
If you are interested in one of these let me know, I don't want to say this but this will be the final order of these. I will take names of those interested, no funds as yet till I know these are going to be available. I'll even do them dyed since I think we got the formula down and add the extenders too. So let me know, drop me a PM. I hope this will all fall together for us one last time as I've been doing alot of research to locate these and it sure seems they are more scarce than ever before The Chubby Pony doesn't have them anymore either.
The dyed finished belt will be $55.00 shipped and undyed shipped $35.00 in the USA of course, outside of the good ole USA is shipped accordingly to cost to ship to your place of exhistance. :lol

Update/Order: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
Sorry I haven't updated on this yet I've been buried by orders for The Comic Con in San Diego this weekend.
I received the Girth Belt it sure looks like the real deal it looks and feels like mohair.

http://usera.imagecave.com/crazy4bob...BeltRaw002.jpg
I am having a hard time finding the thread that had the dye formula for the belt. Anyone have the ESB formulation? So it has yet to be dyed.
If anyone is interested P.M. me.
So is the ESB girth brown or burgandy/wine colored? Input here welcome.
============== UPDATE/ Order if interested ============
I've received a few PMS about the belts and I would be willing to put together an order, they run from a size 34" to 60" with a 2 inch increment between sizes. I measured below the ammo belt just above the hip and add 1 inch for shrinkage but it has to be an even # remember. Also it has to go over the jumpsuit so 3-4 inches good increase for that and shrinkage. Also the difference can be made up in the belting straps too. But the size is right on there is no play. It does stretch a bit you can feel it give if you pull on it. I remember reading about after dying it whilst wet, tacking it down to a 2x4 at the size you need to dry to avoid it shrinking too.
It took 3 weeks from order date give or take for me to receive them.
So if anyone is interested pm me, I'd be happy to put this together.

Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
I am still waiting to hear from the guy I had been ordering them from before. His supplier in India is not filling his orders. Last we spoke he said late Feb.
So I'm still working on it. I hope I can fill one more order since alot of TDH'rs are looking for them, we'll see.

Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
Well guys I got a phone call last night from my girth belt supplier.
He said that the last 2 36's came in and he's shipping them tomorrow.
So Rid and Tension they are on their way!
I asked him about more in the smaller sizes 34, 36, 38 he is hopeful to have them come the end of Feb. He is going to let me know.
So if you are interested in the last run come the end of Feb. send me a pm.
But that is the lastest.

Is the "size" (for example 34) Mean 34" from buckle to buckle?

Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
PM sent with some questions, and.. put me on the list... (while waiting the answer)

i was wondering the same thing. im doing ESB so i need that 5inch space in between the buckles
-
Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
Yes guys it from buckle to buckle. This is the only guy who I've been able to find who has a 34".
And even he has a hard time filling those smaller sizes.
That is why this will be the last order I'll do.
The last one took from Feb. of 05 to fill the last 2 size 36"s for Rid and Tension.
I had about an inch of shrinkage on my belt so that may help figure too. I used the stove top method so the water was really hot. Some didn't get shrinkage on these.
If you have any other ?'s let me know.

Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!
Well guys, I've been waiting to hear something on the girths but nothing as yet. But I have feelers out on a possible custom made mohair girth. It can be made from a 22 inch waist up to 64 not that we'd need them that big but.. the money may be twice as much as the others. Like $68.00 plus shipping. I know I'm sorry but they would be hand made right here in the USA and well....
Its an option. I know but I am still looking.
Christi

Re: Good News... I Hope for a Girth Belt!?!

$55.00 finished with nylon straps in the back.
Sizes area as follows and yes we can get a 34 inch too!
