In search of a proper belt

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

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.
