Vintage Works, a highly-regarded brand that has led the Japanese leathercraft scene, presents the popular model "DH5697," which combines a sense of weight, practicality, and the beauty of aging at a high level. This is a belt that allows you to fully enjoy the pleasure of "growing" it as a tool, setting it apart from mass-produced belts. The leather uses approximately 4mm thick, extra-thick leather. The firmness and density that you feel the moment you hold it are characteristic of a genuine specification designed to be used for many years. The surface is a glossy black, but with use, the brown core is beginning to show its expression from the edges and around the holes, resulting in a very atmospheric aging condition. Although there is some wear, the leather itself is in good condition, with no dryness or hardening, and it gives you a sense of "growth potential" that will allow it to develop into a deeper color and luster. The buckle uses a rugged square-shaped gold brass. While the design is not overly assertive, it exudes a definite presence when combined with the extra-thick leather. It goes well with denim, work pants, and military pants, and is also excellent as a finishing touch for simple outfits. As indicated by the MADE IN JAPAN notation, the sewing, edge processing, and finishing are all done with care. This is a Vintage Works belt that increases in value the longer you use it, while also prioritizing practicality. We recommend it to those who are looking for a genuine leather belt that will last for years to come, regardless of trends. ■Size Marked size: 33/84 Total length: Approximately 106cm Tip of buckle to shortest hole: Approximately 83cm Tip of buckle to longest hole: Approximately 93cm Center hole: Approximately 89cm Belt width: Approximately 4.0cm Thickness: Approximately 4mm (extra thick) ■Condition Although there is some wear, there are no noticeable damages, and the brown core aging has begun to appear beautifully, resulting in a good condition.
