BWC Area

[JLSleather]

IS there a 'bitch, whine, complain' section?  You know, like the 'show off' section, or the supplier section.  Or, is that BWC normally JUST ME ...

NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME, I got a message from a fella - wants a belt that tapers (and shows a pic attached of a ranger belt).  And gimme an estimate for cow, shark, stingray, elephant, and sumthin else... cuz "I don't want to spend a fortune" 

I don't even have a source for some of that.  ANybody know where to get stingray 50" long for under $1k?

Well, there's tapered, and then there's Ranger Belt. Not in the same ballpark as far as pricing! You sure get the winners, Jeff.

A lot of potential customers have what I call the Walmart mentality they not only want it now but cheap.They assume you have a warehouse full of isles and shelves of similar items at different price points just ripe for the picking NOW. My email reply would be "Gone fishing, have a nice day."

LOL do what doctors do, refer them to a specialist when you get tired of their crap.

Geez, at first I thought of the Bounday Waters Canoe Area........  but alas, no sting rays living up there in the north woods.  So Gurgle to the rescue...... and no lie, sting ray leather belts are only $250.

Who'd a thunk.....   kind of neat looking leather though.

God bless

A thoughtful Armistice Day to all.

Sting ray leather belts are $250 in Thailand, which is covered with stingray (and cobra snakes).  Not sure if those are "seemless" belts, though.  My supplier would be pressed to find a good skin long enough to make a '40' belt.

Ah, but what about a stingray Ranger belt?

From what I've heard, that stuff is not that easy to sew. Give the client the advert from Thailand, he can see if they'd make him a Ranger belt out the stingray for $250.
