I find cultizm very cheap. 21.50 USD iirc for shipping + -19% vat

 

[lazybonez]

anyone has any recommendation for leather belts? looking for one

 

[mikeeeey]

me too

but im not interested in those conventional buckle with holes etc..

current one im using is without holes. then to tighten it, when the belt is in the buckle, slide the knob left and it will tighten the belt. slide the knob right, it will loosen. dont know what is the name of such buckle system..

hey guys, i found a series of book teaching ppl how to DIY leather products in a hk bookstore. I think it comes in 7volumes, but i only bought 1vol coz luggage no space le

Will try to post pics of the book when possible. Will try to ask our local kinokuniya if they are able to bring it. Will update this thread again when i hear of anything.

Only thing is where to find leather, the punching tools and small parts....



btw, i found a very nice and pretty thick brown leather belt when i was in H&M. It says 100%, dunno how real, but it does look nice
But only sian thing is that it could have been better if its abt 2-3inches longer. Too bad it was last piece on the shelf...

Which bookstore was it at? I might be going to Hong Kong at the end of the month.

Most of the leather and tools have to buy from overseas. Be prepared to spend hundreds cause shipping costs will be a killer.

issit wise to get the standard belt from tanner goods? or anyone got any good recommendation for belts?

 

[kingkongpingpong]

curious to know too... intending to get a belt soon.

if you are getting from tanner pls let me know also. might be interested to get one too and we can share the shipping. haha

 

[screws]

my experience tells me that give tanner a good stress and the leather will crack
