I was looking for a new belt. I wanted raw veg tan and I’ve ordered a few items from Brave Star in the past. It was an affordable price and was on sale at the time. I had already picked out the buckle I wanted from The Buckle Guy dot com. The thickness of the belt was surprising. Very thick. I just kept wearing it. Every day, trust the process. It has been conditioned with Bick 4 which really helped soften it up. This belt has lots of character up close. I am excited to see how it looks in the progress pictures, the aging is so slow that I was very surprised when I just uploaded the pictures. It’s starting to look great.
