Club Obi Wan

I'm making durable leather belts for friends and thanks to Noel Howard I can now offer a few of these belts with the "original" buckles supplied by Noel Howard.
For more info just PM me.

Cheers

Those are seriously nice belts, IndyK. Well done! Good to see that there are quality replicas available from the "naboland"...

Yup, those look very classy indeed. Well done!

WOW

One of this will DEFINATELY be one of my next purchases!

EXCELLENT Kent!!!

High regards,

Why does the distressed one cost 35% more?

IndyK's belts are top of the line, I should know I have one
Good to se you decided to make them available for all.

-K on the run

The price of the belts is based on the price for the leatherbelt itself + the buckle. For the Indy-gunbelts I buy the buckles from Noel Howard and the price of his distressed buckle is more than twice the price of the plain buckle making the total higher as You mention. The brass Crusade buckle is a little bit cheaper than the Raiders plain, but we make two of the handsewn gliders for that belt so we thought the price should be the same.

Noels distressing of the Raiders buckle is his little secret I guess, but they appear to have been treated with a special technique and they have a slightly darker and more mat appearance than the plain one.

Thanks for Your interest in our belts.

Cheers

By any chance, would you happen top be able to custom make a Raider's belt to my own spec's if needed, using the original Noel Howard Buckle and Keeper? if so, please do let me know!

Kindest Regards,

Dave

I think he doesn't do belts anymore, this post is over three years old you know.

Actually I still do belts VP. Never stopped, just doing it for those who remember me

But since Noel Howard passed away I can, off course, no longer be supplied with "original NH-buckles".
AB is doing massive research on finding the best possible Raiders-buckle at this moment, and I will be making the Raiders gunbelts for AB as soon as we have the best possible buckle to offer. I cannot say in what degree we will be able to make custom belts, but our reasearch so far shows, that just as it is with the Fedora, that You can get "Streets of Cairo-bashed" or "Raven Bar-bashed" etc., we will be talking about Raiders gunbelts in "Hawai-configuration" or "Elstree-configuration" as well.
The Raiders gunbelt is in fact the belt we have the best photage of, and since the ToD gunbelt was only a slightly rounder buckle and the LC gunbelts was a brass buckle, I personly believe that the most interesting belt is the original tough-as-nails Raiders belt with the classic buckle. And thats what I'm looking forward to provide

Best Indy-K wishes
