Victoria Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So is he the one making the buckles or does he just own a couple? Oh! Rob-Montana? One of the few strapmakers I am lacking (the other is Adeeos). Good question, OS. His pricing instructions are vague. It suggests these cool buckles are not included. "Prices: My prices can vary a little depending on stitch style and leather but are usually $159 for a lug stitch and $189 for a full wrap stitch +/- depending on the detail. Note that all straps using the vintage leather are 10 dollars more due to the cost and time in preparation. This comes with tubes and a pre-v style buckle with engraving options on the buckle/strap and delivered. Again, my straps are all hand stitched using hand picked leather from Italy and various leather from the US, with the occasional hide from another country if I come across something that is as good or better. My threads are all waxed and of great quality." Good job on the sleuthing, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
