is this gonna be like massdrop's british belt drops where you really need to size up by 4 pant sizes or not. does anyone have any input how orion belts normally fit for them. Like did you need to go up 2 or 4 inches on your normal pants sizes and did this put the buckle in the middle of the holes or at the shortest it can be when put on.
eskimogingaI own a number of Orion Belts and they are sized by belt length meaning you add 2” to your pant/ waist size for the belt size. This should make It so it fits you at the middle hole. I’m a 31-32” pant waist and the 34” is perfect for me.
boris_hoBasically, Retanned leather is a combination tanning. There are 2 main ways to tan a leather hide: veg tanning and chrome tanning. Veg tanning is considered by some the best way to go. It is the traditional way leather has been tanned for hundreds of years, using natural tannins such as wood bark, tree oils, etc. Veg tanning usually provides for a thicker, firmer leather, with a great body and beautiful colors. Chrome tanning is a relatively modern way of treating hides with Chromium sulfates. It is a way quicker process, albeit less environmentally friendly. Chrome tannage provides a more supple, flexible leather - yes, something more like what you would see on a purse. You will never get the kind of thickness with Chrome tanning alone as you will with veg. Combination tanning, or retanning, obviously combines both. In this particular case, the leather is veg tanned first, giving it the great body and substance of Veg tanned leather. After, it is Chrome tanned, making it softer and more flexible, and also giving it a bit of a pull-up effect. Overall, it combines the best of both worlds, giving you a nice study leather, that has substance, but is still flexible and comfortable.
Hope this answers the question.
