These hides have more range marks and occasionally some marks from the tannery ( small black marks  smaller than a dime etc) than the other listing, I gave them their own place and even though they are just as good ( some would say better because you can see the top layer of leather has not been removed because these marks are still visible) they don't appeal to everyone so I am putting up a separate listing with a lower price.  If you want you can message me and I can send you pix of the ones I have on hand to make them with.
This is Vegetable tanned Hermann Oak harness leather handcut to 1 1/2 inch wide .  The hide was cut from the back and has some marks from when the cow was wearing it because it has not had the top layer sanded off so you will see all the bites, scrapes and adventures .   It has been specially treated as harness leather at Hermann Oak.  Made in USA with US hides.  This is a thick belt made from 10-12 oz leather, it can be used casually but it is made for  a holster or tools.  It is one solid piece of leather, it has not been glued or sewed.  It is as thick as 4 stacked quarters.  It has an antique steel buckle that is attached with chicago screws so the buckle can be changed if desired.  The edges were hand rubbed and has a low shine to it.
This is a rugged durable belt that will last for years.  It will darken as it ages.
To order, the best way to order a belt is to measure it as shown in the picture but if you don’t have an opportunity to do that I can work with a pants waist size.  These measurements will be different your belt measurement is usually 2 or 3 inches larger than a waist size so just let me know what you are sending. Just hit the buy button and Etsy will give you a place to put a comment (if you don't see it just send me a conversation or email) and let me know either your waist size or a belt measurement like the picture.  I will make any size you need here in my shop in Maryland.     I will put 5 holes in it unless you request 7 holes.

" With a feel and beautiful russet color that is reminiscent of the best harness leathers from the past, this leather gives your project old world appeal.  Best in the industry – a customer favorite!
Just the right amount of heft and a very nice “hand” to it, Pliable enough for cutting and sewing, yet not too soft. Because of the amount of tallows stuffed in this leather, there will be more color variation than normal.   Heavy and extra heavy harness leather is full thickness, not split, for the best strength and durability"
