I can definantly say from the last run that Cruzer does a top-notch job on hooking up everyone with their girth-gutz, and for a great price too! Jump on this if your thinking about upgrading, or starting!
 
Yeah, she's got her people working on another sample that should be medium brown in color and with more attention paid to the slice areas so they're thinner. I also asked her to confirm that the final order would be machined braided in order to get a more symetrical and higher quality braid because it looked like the last sample was hand woven with asymetrical areas.

She should be getting back to me in 2-3 days.

That's all!
 
Hey Cruzer...I'll probably be interested in a girth belt...just need a quote for a total price made and shipped and I'll let you know for sure:D
 
Here's the latest and final sample, and a pic of the original belt from the CII display from the Ref. CD.

I think it looks pretty dang good so I'm going to go ahead and start taking orders. There's only room for 8 people for a 25 yard roll each. The price below is to cover paypal fees and shipped in the U.S. Add $10 for shipping outside the U.S.

$75 for a 25 yard roll.

My Paypal addy is Lorenzo_Cruz1@msn.com (there's an underscore between my first and last name).

My internet access is limited while my laptop is in the shop so I'll take orders as they come in via paypal payments.

For those that asked about me making a girth belt for them, I can do a very small run. If you want to get in on that run, you can paypal me as well to place an order.
Girth belts run $250 shipped in the U.S.

Please post if you send Paypal so that others can get an idea how many spots are left, at least until I can log on again and make a list.

As soon as I get my computer back, I'll reply to all the PMs. Or you can just email me if it can't wait.


Thanks guys,(y)
Lorenzo

hey cruz, I think this question has been answered loads of times but how many yards are ned to make a girth belt?

Thank you ;)
 
Yeah, I think it looks pretty close compared to what's been used in the past. I sent them the ref. pic. I posted above (but full size) so that's the closest they could get. And the braid is made out of soft analine dyed leather which makes it even more like the original, instead of braid made of tooling leather like I know others and I've used in the past.

Personally for any girth belts I make from this stuff, it looks like I'll take some reddish brown stain to them to get the reddish darker color, especially along the edges, and then take some leather wax (which will also darken it up) to the belt with a rag to get that glossy look on the surfaces like the original belt has.

When there are enough orders paid for, I'll go ahead and place the order. It comes out to roughly $1200 with Western Union Fees.

Jango Uri, you could make a girth belt up to about 40" with 20 strands from a 25 yard roll, I believe.

Later,
Lorenzo
