Looks sharp. Is this from a kit, or did you do it all from scratch?
I bought each thing individually and did it all myself. I picked a 1 3/4 in belt blank, then I found a belt buckle that I liked, and then a belt keep to hold it together. After that I snapped in the buckle, trimmed the belt to my size, punched the hole, and finished it by sealing/treating the leather so it wouldn't stain.

The whole thing cost less than $30.
That's cool and all but do you have like a 12" waist? Holy hell man, your belt looks like a bracelet.

The Unbrandeds fit me great. I went with the 201 which is the tapered fit and it's exactly what I want my jeans to fit/look like. The only problem I had was that none of the Urban Outfitters near me had them so I couldn't try them on in person to figure out my size. I looked around online and found a sizing guide for them and went off it...

According to that, I needed a size 31. I ordered it and when I tried them on I could barely get them over my ass and when i did, I couldn't even do one of the buttons. I returned it for a 32 and had basically the same issue, I got them buttoned but I couldn't even sit down and while standing it looked like the fly was going to tear open. No amount of natural stretching was going to fix them. I finally ordered a 33 and they were tight at first, but now they fit perfect.
As for the belt, if you want all the info and instructions on how to make it let me know.

Word, according to that chart I'd wear a 30, so you'd say get a 32?
