Introducing Myself

[MilesCollier]

Hi,

I’m Miles, some of you may already know me, but for those that don’t, I’m the man behind Immortal Leathercraft. I’ve been a member of the Belttalk Facebook group for a while now, but haven’t ever ventured into the forum.

I started collecting in 2018, just a few replica belts, then started to get them Releathered, and then the pandemic hit and I discovered the world of belt collecting on Facebook. I’ve always been a collector of memorabilia and ring worn items, but collecting belts was just something that didn’t peak my interest until late on.

In 2021 I decided I’d like to know more about the leather process, as I’d established a growing collection of belts, and wanted to be able to have them as accurate to what I watched on TV as possible. I reached out to various people for advice on getting started in leathercraft, Daniel Ripley, Paul Martin, Ryan Stokes to name a few, and I also watched some YouTube tutorials. Roll on a few years and I now have a growing fan base of my work and a job working with Main Event Belts.

Anyway, that’s me in a nutshell, look forward to some good interactions and insight over here. Nice to meet you!
