Chief31794 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 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. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
Members Leprechaunleather Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 Nice work , but im with you on the black , i much rather brown Quote https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/leprechaunleather1freedom is a right not a privilege
Members Greg528it Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 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. Quote
Members WScott Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 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! Quote
Members benlilly1 Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 Still looks great Chief! Even if it is black! Quote
Members Brushpopper Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 That's an ingenious use of the basket weave tool. Skeet Quote
Members HippieLee Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 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. Quote
David Posted June 13, 2014 Report Posted June 13, 2014 Very nicely done belt. Thanks for sharing it with us.....I agree about black Dave Quote
Members Colt W Knight Posted June 13, 2014 Members Report Posted June 13, 2014 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. Quote
Chief31794 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Posted June 13, 2014 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. Chief Quote "Life's too short to carry ugly leather"
