Radsticks ways to keep your pants up.

I've been on the search for a super awesome belt to go with my doom girl buckle (courtesy of Mr. Dalton). I finally found it:

Designed by Thomas Hooper and badass in every way.
Problem is, shirtsanddestroy.com don't have a purchase option available, which I'm assuming means they've sold out already.
Nobody else has these and I contacted them just now, but I think I've hit a dead end.
Anyone know anything similar in design aesthetic/radness that I can strap around my waist?

Look for tooled or engraved belts to find something in that style...full-grain, one-piece leather, if you don't mind animal products. I kinda do, but sometimes cool can trump my ethics a bit.

Some of the cheap bonded leather PVC or vinyl can come undone. Like these that you see on eBay/Amazon look cool, but last months to a year:

I got the one on the right, and it looked pretty great for a 8 months, and then totally started coming apart.


I might give this one a try:

Yeah I've had vinyl belts in the past that just don't manage to go the distance. I know what you mean about the ethics side of things, but part of me also thinks if I can get the one thing that is awesome and will last (significantly longer, anyway) then that's the less damaging way to go.
Vegans will disagree with that, but vinyl has an impact as well. Especially if they get chewed up easy.

That's all another thread though.

I was actually looking at the ones you posted there man and I might end up going that way if i can't find anything else. I do dig em.
Found this, thought it was kinda cool:

But it has sold out as well.

Thanks, Tom.
(by the way, I think more buckles are in my future :erm: )

The search continues!

We don't get those fairs, generally speaking, like you guys do, but I did go to a Scottish Fair a month or so ago and saw a dude there who did some killer work. I hit him up and he was socially fucking retarded though (which I'd usually forgive, but he was just kinda rude and vague) so I just grabbed his card. He was an older dude, didn't have a website or anything. If I get desperate I may hit him up.

I may have to head to the one medieval fair we have, once a year, that was on like 6 weeks ago next year....but that's too fucking long to wait.

If you know anyone though that has some shit I can check out online I'd be down for that.
