Considering making a few Jango Girth Belts. Any interest?

Small run is beginning. Each belt is $250 shipped (extra shipping charge for international orders). Pictures below are the first version. New version differs a bit (see photo in other post). More current photos to come.

PM if interested I would like to get started with a few by Friday so if you want one, let me know ASAP.

put me down for one as well

and if i may add i like how yours does not have the background cardboard on it


It's not cardboard that the backing you speak of is made of. It's actually a leather backing, and it helps to keep all of the leather braids together and in place.
 
Do they hold together well? I'm interested. I hate the lack of flexibility in my current belt. Also, say some of us go through periods of rapid weight loss/gain, how difficult is it to adjust these?

Yes, they hold together well. A LITTLE overlapping of the braids now and then but I think it is worth it for the flexibility. I loved wearing it, I could actually bend over to tie my... boot. ;)

As for sizing it, it is made to fit. I am considering adding some elastic to around the attachment in the back but there is not a lot of room for that sort of thing to make it accurate looking. Still, the braids to stretch a little bit to help you wear it after a particularly big meal or something :lol:
 
I am going to start off making two. one for TampaFett and one for TGaines107. After those are done, I will see how many more I am able to to make. I will know in a week or so how many more I can make. Thanks!
 
Update and checking in!

Hey all, just wanted to check in. I want you all to know am still making these but I had some setbacks with family visiting and a few other things- ya know. "Real life"! :lol:

Also my leather supplier no longer has the exact kind of leather I previously used so I am going to have to go to another supplier.

The tough part is to find that sweet spot between cost and accuracy. I am looking at braids being about 6MM each. This is a bit smaller than the one you see above but they LOOK fantastic. To make sure the belt is wide enough to look good and accommodate a gun belt and pouch belt i would have to go with about 25 rows of braids (instead of the 20 in the original belt I made). Maybe a few more. Here is a picture of the braid I am talking about. I have stacked a few to get an idea of what it would look like. The figure next to it is for scale!

I just wanted to check to make sure there would be interest in a belt made with this.
