if you want to keep the selvedge you need to taper them from the inseam. sounds like you know what measurements you want so you just need to make sure you bring them to a competent tailor

I'd buy 2 Orion's before I'd pay triple for a Tanner Goods belt.

$150: https://www.tannergoods.com/collections/belts/products/standard-belt-4
Corter in the middle, and probably best bang for your buck.

Yall think this is done? Never conditioned it but I feel like it can snap on me anytime. I'm probably overreacting but it's def feeling extra dry.

if you go to a tailor your good, only if they know what they are doing

Scott from Don't mourn organize has great quality leather. His prices went up, but he has been recommended in a lot of denim forums (IH, sufu, SF) from years past. He had the cheapest customized belts/leather goods for years. I have a Japanese repro wallet and black (saddle?) belt from him.

Snaps tho... Just for that Orions are a pass for me.... I prefer Corter and Eternal.
But my fav is prob LeatherWorks (Stitched > Chi Crews)
TGs are overpriced but its a good option for a more "dressier" look.

Thanks for the link, but I'm not a fan of their buckles.
Orion is a good price, but don't like their buckles.

That is a positive and a negative about Orion. Negative is that some don't like their buckles, and that they use "snaps" instead of sewn / chicago screws.
Positive is that with their snaps, you can switch out to a buckle that you do like.

You know any good stores besides online that sell leather belts? Rather try them on first

Depends on where you live.
If there are any small boutique type shops that sell raw denim, they probably also sell leather goods

Hey all!
Besides N&F, what's a good brand to look in for low-cost (<$160) raw denim? I have two pairs of N&F jeans and one pair of Unbranded, but after washing the UB's, the waist is far too tight and the top button blew out.
Wouldn't mind N&F, even been looking at another pair from them, just trying to change it up is all.

Corter isn't terrible in my experience. I've e-mailed them asking for replacement Chicago screws after mine fell out and they sent new ones out.
