Back in the day, this place was producing and selling some of the best value (buy-it-for-life) full grain leather belts. I've had several of their belts which have been worn daily for ~10 years now with plenty of life left in them.

It seems their website has been taken down and there hasn't been much activity since 2018/2019ish.

Did they go out of business?

Bizarrely enough, I also read rumors that the owners became heroin addicts or something, and this may be why the business went under. Anyone know the true story?

I don’t have specifics but I went through this a year ago they are indeed out of business, i still have a belt from them that’s roughly 7 years old sad stuff.

Yup, closed shop. It happens unfortunately even to the best brands.

I've been using https://www.thirteen50leather.com/ since then, been pretty happy with it.
