I received my belt, Essential Leather Belt - 1.5" - No. 1508, from your company today and just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the belt you sent me. The fitting directions in the order process were "right on the money"! The belt fits perfectly. The materials you made the belt from are all first-class. I could not be happier with the quality and fit of the belt! I am pleased beyond words...
Background: My father taught me how to make belts when I was in Junior High School. We mostly used belt blanks and buckles from Tandy Leather who was a very good company many years ago, i.e. circa 1969-1970. The belt I've been wearing for the last 50-55 years was one I made from a Tandy belt blank and has a brass buckle that also came from Tandy.
I recently tried to recreate my current belt for my son-in-law in California for his birthday since my belt lasted me 50+ years. Unfortunately, the quality of Tandy's belt blanks is not what it used to be, nor the buckles. Ultimately, I produced a good quality belt that fits him and should last many years.
That is the background of what I was thinking and feeling when I viewed your website. I figured I'd give your company a chance, and per above I couldn't be happier that I did. The belt you sold me is outstanding in every respect.
