An Education in Replica Re-leathering Part 2

[whes24]

Why do some belts leather straps look like they have two pieces of leathers attached? Like the winged eagle and x division. But the spinner and smokin skull look like all one piece leather strap. Wats the difference in names. So i can tell the relather guy

[Hazardf5]

@whes24 all the straps are one piece of leather, the design your talking about is just tooling/ a pattern to give the plates a border, some straps have them, some don't

[WrestlingReplicas908]

How much does Luckyhands charge for his releathering ?

[Hazardf5]

@WrestlingReplicas908 $220

[WrestlingReplicas908]

@WrestlingReplicas908 Thanks.

[Aceking014]

Thanks for this very educational video I just sent out my first belt to get releathered by Luckyhandz and i cant wait to get it back.

[zombee1979]

Jeuron go on his Facebook page, look at his work and decide for yourself.

[zombee1979]

The belt didn't fall apart in my hands. The clear coat that gives it shine peeled off. I had two other replicas he did that came of fine. Ppl you have to do your research and decide yourself.

[jeuron]

How much bad stuff have you heard about Majestic Championship Leathers? I'm asking you because I sent an inquiry to them about some potential work I want done. Should I even bother with them??

[Hazardf5]

@jeuron stay the hell aeay from him, the snaps on his belts aren't even straight

[OmarWWERKO]

Nice belts man but how you have the Winged Eagle you said you sold it to someone? but still I like your belts

[Hazardf5]

@OmarWWERKO this is a real handmade belt plated with 24k gold, created by reggie parks identical to the one used on tv, this the $300 replica I sold ages ago

[zombee1979]

Hey hazard quick question. Should I releather my wcw big gold in Midwest style or leave it original like the crumrine with no tooling. I like show accurate but I like Dave and reggie's style as well

[Hazardf5]

@zombee1979 is go with crumrine  style personally

[ShashayTV]

are you saying that i should sell my kids size wwe spinner strap from ajsbelts and go to someone else?

[Hazardf5]

@ShashayTV sell the whole thing and buy an adult belt and re-leather it haha

[ShashayTV]

@Hazardf5 haha. i wish. but i can't let go of it. it was a gift and i like it. problem is, who's gonna buy a kids size real leather strap? do you might know anybody?

[Hazardf5]

@ShashayTV no, that's why no many re-leatherers do kids belts

[ChaingangHLR10]

@ShashayTV ill buy it.

[ShashayTV]

@ChaingangHLR10 are you serious? cool. :) thank you very much! if you want to get a look of how it is, i have like 4 videos on my channel.........

[ShashayTV]

@ChaingangHLR10 you do know it's a kids size SPINNER belt strap, right? do you have a kids size spinner?

[zombee1979]

Don't buy an ultra. Complete waste of money. You can at least curve a standard adult. Try ebay for belts too. Just make sure the seller has a good rating obviously

[chavalozvi]

Thanks again. I have recently purchased an AJS Belts re leather and will upload the video soon.

[21gazz]

get ya bunny re-leatherd an clean ya room up

[djbfzero]

@ThaOneChrisJONES You're not getting it. DON'T waste your time with AJS.

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

@djbfzero I know, I'm just wondering where I'd get the plates ( 4 mm )/re-leather job done at the same time so that I don't have to order it, wait for it and then send it out and wait for it again.

[joshbestintheworld1]

what does the snapbox on your real world heavyweight feel like?

[Hazardf5]

@joshbestintheworld1 bumpy

[joshbestintheworld1]

thanks. u hav awesome vids!

[rotten4life]

Yea Shane i just wanna say thanks for all your videos they've helped me so much! Keep em up!

[nscwevideos59]

Very informative Shane! Thanks!

[batkins852]

The "Re-Leather Revolution" has begun.

[Hazardf5]

@batkins852 And useless F'ers are going down

[wrestleingfan6]

I got two belt's releathered by Romeo Anderson everything was great on them nothing fell apart the only thing bad with them except the leather is stiff not soft and flexible.

[Hazardf5]

@wrestleingfan6 that's what I mean, he charges cheap because he buys cheap leather.

[HammerWGM]

:20 "AJ's Crap Straps!" haha!

[Hazardf5]

@HammerWGM I'm patenting that XD

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

I'm thinkin about using Mike Nicolau, his work looks really nice and smooth. So what would be the best course of action ? Just get an Ultra-Deluxe from Ajs belts for the plates ?

[Hazardf5]

@ThaOneChrisJONES if u wana get the belt from ajs that's fine, up to u

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

@Hazardf5 Do you have any suggestions ? I wanna make sure ( short of getting a real one done ) that I deal with the best places.

[Hazardf5]

@ThaOneChrisJONES honestly, to be safe get an adult (from wrestling superstore - the safe part) and re-leather it, ultras have no extra detail to them, just heavier, not worth it imo

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

@Hazardf5 Alright sounds good, thanks for all the help man. I just wanna make sure I put my collection together the right way. And you have alot of knowledge on the subject so I thought I'd just hit you up with some questions.

[ThaOneChrisJONES]

I'm just wondering though, do any of those people who do the re-leathers sell the belts too ? Or do you HAVE to get the belt from somewhere else and then send it to them ?

[Hazardf5]

@ThaOneChrisJONES generally yes u have tuo buy a belt and send it to them

[nlw1000]

i have had a set of wcw US title plates and never got a strap for it for about a year and a half now. so this is very helpful for me to finally get it done

[TheVerge2011]

I personally recommend both Michael Nicolau's and lukkyhandz services. I have a WWE IC belt that Nicolau releathered and its my favorite of my collection because the leather is incredible, great tooling, soft yet strong leather. Lukky is also great and is very quick in responding to your questions.

[OMARtheRULERofBLACKS]

Ajs straps are so bad! Your straps u have are all great! One question, since u r in the uk why didnt you go with paul martin?

[Hazardf5]

@OMARtheRULERofBLACKS I feel very loyal to lukky as he opened my eyes to this whope deal, nothing against paul, he's great at what he does

[FrankDeLier]

@Hazardf5 Are any of your belts for sale?

[21gazz]

@OMARtheRULERofBLACKS look at my vids for paul martin belt straps

[WildCard393]

if you want to check out ajs belt strap go to my video i have two of them and great video hazard i talked to george on pro championship belts im going to get it done by him thanks for the recommendation

[khoiquangnguyen]

too bad you don't have any of the old AJs belt straps to really show the comparisons. 

[JFXtreme96]

Man i love your collection! congrats. we are not worthy haha.

[gmil4life]

tell it like it is man
