Belt guy at MSBA Show

[Saltheart]

Anybody but John and I buy a belt from the belt guy? He had nice , solid leather belts maybe 1 to 1 1/4 inch wide. He had some all tooled with outdoor sports things like stripers or waterfowl , etc. He also had matching theme buckles.

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?
