Fireman Quick Release and Double Prong Garrison Belt

[Damon141]

I just wanted to post these because they are really good quality for the price. Keep in mind that just a simple Garrison belt goes for $200 if it comes in a Real McCoy box, you make beautiful jackets RMC but I will stay far away from the rest of their outrageous priced items.


I talked with this guy after almost buying another cheaply made quick release on Etsy which uses hardware/buckles from AliExpress that are less than $10.
This guy uses leather from Horween and uses only hardware from Chicago, England and Japan. I asked if he planned on using bridle but naturally being in Chicago he like to just go directly to horween, I can’t blame him.

I have wanted both styles of belts for a while but I wasn’t ready to drop the money on the ones I’ve been looking at on instagram (pigeon tree for the quick release and then k&h leather for a standard garrison belt). They are beautiful if you have the extra money, they are around $200, main difference I see is they use bridle leather versus Horween and some have stitching versus brass screws on the fold.

I make belts for friends and family as a hobby using amongst others solid brass fireman's quick release buckles from Abbey England usually on English Bridle Butt or J&FJ Baker Oak Bark Tanned Bridle Butt . I use various methods of attatchment , stitching, Chicago screws , Saddlers rivets or just plain old solid brass rivets . If price is preventing you from pulling the trigger on a bridle leather belt I don't mind helping out a fellow lounger with prices I ask of friends . I don't know where you are in the world ( US ? ) so maybe shipping costs will be prohibitive . Either way DM me if you want me to make you one .
P.S I hope I'm not breaking any sort of forum advertising rules , if so I ask for this post to be removed immediately . I just want to give back to people on this forum if I can- as you all have been a massive resource for me in an area I'm not well versed in - quality leather jackets ( my new unintended obsession )
