Well after a year of being warn by a hard working shipyard mechanic I have some photos to show of how well this held up.
I noticed right away that my first belt attempt was constructed with a few bad things, like stitching thru the center of the belt and not fully lining the belt where the buckle loop goes.
Anyways it has stood up pretty well considering. Edges a little worse for wear, a few abrasions and such, was really surprised that the little tandy rivets held up as well as they did. Considering this belt has been thru hell and back I am pretty happy.
She wants a new one to wear out and is gonna keep this one for work I think so Ill condition it and call it good. I know alot of times we dont get to see our work down the road (some of us do) and this isnt that old but like I said its been thru hell lol.
