Melville and Moon make an excellent simple leather belt. A bit thicker and wider than most.

So very disappointed in Hill Country Leather.com. I tried to order an elephant belt they say they have in stock and after four tries trying to buy online I give up on them...it will not go through. They have to be losing a lot of money due to a faulty website.

@Rare Breed, I have a great custom gator belt I bought and wear everyday since 2020. John is not computer savvy but his communication through emails is great. I called talked to him. Belts are always difficult and best to talk getting the length and holes in right place. I had a specific buckle, sent it to him.

I would not hesitate, just old fashioned phone call.

I found one good casual belt through Orvis. It is made by J.E. Sedgewick Ltd in Great Britain. A nice, hard harness leather with great stitching.
I have a Cordovan belt coming from Crockett & Jones. Never heard of them previously, perhaps a gamble, but seems nice and on sale for $56 so I'm taking a chance.

DON'T THINK I EVER ORDERED ANYTHING STRAIGHT OFF THE WEBSITE AS I AM KINDA PICKY AND WANTED TO SE PICS OF LEATHER WE WERE GETTING. DONT REMEMBER HOW MANY ORDERS I HAVE FROM HIM BUT JOHN HAS COPIED HOLSTERS I HAVE SENT HIM TO DUPLICATE WITH MATCHING GUNBELTS. HAS MADE THE WIFE AND I WONDERFUL DRESS BELTS IN GIRAFFE WITH STERLING BUCKLES I SENT HIM (ONCE AGAIN I'M A PICKY ASS). GET HOLD OF HIM VIA PHONE OR EMAIL AND HE WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOU.

This is not about him but about his technology with his website that’s all. They still have not responded to my email about this. I have no doubt his product is stellar!

When I try four times to give them my money but can’t get through that’s a problem not with the product but with their technology.

I have the top belt here. I wear it almost daily.

I asked my local taxidermey to make me a hippo hide belt. I paired it with a Patrick Mavros feather buckle, I then ordered the croc skin also. My favourite belts now

Dick Murray Custom Leather is outstanding.

Well, that was a bust, but credit card stopped a potential scam....

Agree! I got both their ammo belt and a gun sling, beautiful and quality work! And when my daughter’s lab chewed the sling they were able to make it look as good as new again.

Love this all leather Dickies belt. I fly a lot, sail thru TSA scanner without a peep, no redressing before heading to the gate. The best part is the $20 price.

I just ordered a nicotine elephant hide belt from John all done over the phone this morning. His website is outdated, call him direct, he’s a really nice guy, I enjoyed talking to him. The elephant hide belt was $200 plus $10 for shipping he has to make them no longer on the shelf or on sale, site outdated. I asked for a square brass buckle but he has nickel and gunmetal too, along with a variety of different leather colors (I like the nicotine) also on his instagram site.

Just received my nicotine colored elephant hide belt from Hill Country Leather. Took exactly one month from the time I ordered it. You can choose a variety of heavy duty metal buckles like antique brass and gunmetal gray. Cost was $200. This is a really, really high quality belt! Fairly thick too. Wearing it now! John really does great work and his offer, “show me a finer constructed exotic leather belt, and I’ll make one for free” holds true!

Don’t try to order one on his website, just call him direct, he’s a great guy!

This thread should be a sticky. It is important, need to know information!
