Hows it going everyone, I was looking up some luxury men's belts and came across a a brand called Sammons. I tried looking for the actual company but it doesn't seem to exist. It might be another cheap knock off brand but I enjoy the uniqueness it has. I wanted to know if anyone had any information on it such as; what kind of leather they use and how they put the design on the leather. Also I wanted to get some feedback on how you all think it looks. Ill attach some photos so everyone can see down below. Thanks for your time. -Cminer

Thank you so much johnv474. I am trying to learn the absolute most I can about leather while creating this belt. You were a huge help. I did watch Equus leather video on creating a luxury, hand stitched belt and it was truly amazing. Thank you again for putting this much effort into helping! Very much appreciated!

Hows it going everyone, I am working towards creating a mens belt, more towards the luxury end of things and had a couple questions about different aspects in creating it. If you could answer any of the following questions it would be a huge help to me! Leather 1. How many ounces would a decently heavy/sturdy durable leather be? (2-3 oz or 5-6 oz?) 2. If I had a lighter/thinner leather with a heavier/thicker core would the belt ware easier than if I had a thicker leather with a thinner? Stitching 1. Best type of thread for luxury stitching? I saw that most people prefer waxed linen over nylon but is one better for hand stitching then the other? 2. How long does it typically take to hand stitch a reversible belt. (ex Leather/Core/Leather.) 3. Does the choice of leather make hand stitching easier or harder depending on the weight, texture, hardness, or softness of it? Finishes 1. What are the best types of finishes you can put on a belt to protect it from scratching, water, and/or ware? Thank you for your time!
