Damnit why so hard?

I need a 38" belt. Square to no taper on the end.

Logo free.

In a tan/lighter shade of brown. Not one you really have to try and tell from black.

Grey/gunmetal buckle in a non-reflective finish, matte. Rectangular buckle with no roller. Leather keeper, one or two.

No visible stitching.

That one is too dark, too reflective of a buckle, too silvery and too much taper and visible stitching.

Also looking for full grain leather preferred. Nothing man-made. Under $100.

I'll see if I can dig up a goody or two. Maybe Dawn of War II?

If you find a belt that meets your criteria except for the taper buy one that is too long and cut it down to size with the taper you want. Use a black sharpie to darker the edges that you cut.

Has a metal keeper and the buckle is VERY shiny. The picture just doesn't show it well, I have that belt :(

Doesn't really work that way as you'd also have to make new holes. The center hole is the one used, and belts generally have 5 or 7 holes. So you'd have to make 2 additional for it to look correct.

To have the holes properly done and the belt shortened and refeathered by a saddle shop would cost about the same as a new belt :(

And I've looked at beltman. He makes good stuff, have had gunbelts, very strong stuff. Unfortunately, same for Leather Goods Connection, they don't offer rectangular buckles :(

So just put the extra holes in them?
