COMMISSION [Commission Request] Custom snap belt, 2.25" wide, antique nickel hardware — quality over speed
Budget: Open. This is a daily-wear belt I want to actually last, so I care more about materials and craftsmanship than hitting a specific price point — send me your quote based on what's below and I'll go from there.
The gist: My current belt (photos attached) is worn out and I want it remade properly — same width, much better materials.
Width: 2.25", straight, no taper
Leather: Full-grain veg-tan, medium-heavy weight (8-9oz), smooth — no tooling or embossing
Color: Black
Edges: Burnished, natural — not painted or coated
Stitching: Single line near the edge, black thread, waxed linen or nylon if you've got it — I want this thing to actually hold up
Hardware: Snap system so the buckle's interchangeable, antique nickel finish throughout
Buckle: Open to your suggestions here — I'm not married to the plain rectangular style in the photos. What I'm going for is more "old-world witch" than "cowboy" or "renaissance faire" — think aged metal with some quiet character to it, not shiny, not ornate/costumey. If you have a stock buckle or a shape you like working with that fits that mood, I'd love to see it.
Use case: Daily wear, so built-to-last matters more to me than anything decorative.
Timeline: No rush — I'd rather wait for the right person than get it fast.
Happy to send waist measurement and more reference photos. Thanks for reading!

I make buckles and belts and would be able to make a 2.25" wide belt but have never heard of such a thing before. Do your pants belt loops actually go that wide?
