Every once in a while someone wants a tooled belt and they want it black. I've looked at black antique and it doesn't "float my boat", I guess the tooling can be seen if you look close which, I guess, makes it subtle. I'm more use to antiqued browns, tans, etc. Oh well, anyway here is a belt I put out today in black. Hadn't done this design in a long time.

I like it. The only thing I've heard about tooled black belts.. some people think they look like cop belts. To which I would reply. "so?"

I like the tooling and think it stands out just fine. yeah more subtle but subtle is good.

Love the tooling you made there, that is a great belt even if it's a more subtle beauty.

You could throw in some contrast stitching to make it pop, but I would buy it just as is!

I like black and tan together but all black is also on my "meh" list. Although I know I should have a black belt just for occasions I need to be dressier than brown - does it matter any more? At any rate, I don;t have any black shoes so a black belt wouldn't help me much.

But if I had to have a black belt, that one you made up there is pretty darned nice! And if that's what the customer wanted I;d say you nailed it.

I really like your basket weave stamping pattern. That is pretty slick.

I think subtle is a good thing for certain occasions, so I don't mind tooled Black.

Thanks everyone, can't take credit for the Basket Weave "Trick", I don't remember where, but sometime in my past I saw this pattern in a book or magazine, and started doing it on belts.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
