I got a plain solid black belt for use with dress pants or a suit. Nice thick but not too wide leather so it would go through the belt loops on dress pants.
Guy held up a few of the solid black I wanted then wrapped them around my waste and decided on one a little longer than needed. He then used a special tool to cut it to length with a double tapered end. He then used a punch and hammer to put the buckle holes in it. Added a small leather loop after the buckle for the tail end after you buckle it.
This all took maybe 2 minutes and 10 dollars later I was out of there with essentially a custom made solid leather black belt for wearing when dressed up. I had no idea what the belt alone would cost so I was pleasantly surprised when he asked for $10.
Anybody know his name or company?
