Custom belt recommendations
I recently impulse bought a vintage silver belt buckle, and now I need to turn it into a belt and I'm feeling a little lost.
I have a local leather repair person who I've worked with before and I know he makes belts, is that a good place to start or should I try to find someone with a more established reputation? If I work with the local person is it fair for me to ask to see the leather or work samples beforehand so I know it's good quality? Any other screening questions I should ask?
Any recommemdations for leather makers I can send this to to make a western belt?
What is a resonable amount to expect to pay for this?
Also, I know that this will need a little bit of restoration beforehand, since it's silver I should be able to fix the dent myself.
