JLSleather Report post Posted May 16, 2019 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted May 16, 2019 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. Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kgg Report post Posted May 16, 2019 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." kgg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeRock Report post Posted November 11, 2019 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. http://www.extraleather.com/product_info.php/genuine-stingray-leather-belt-001-p-191 Who'd a thunk..... kind of neat looking leather though. God bless A thoughtful Armistice Day to all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted November 12, 2019 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
