CLC Custom Leathercraft 21448 4-Piece Pro Framer's Tool Belt Set - 15-Pocket Durable Brown Leather Work Belt for Carpenters & Construction Workers | Perfect for Framing, Roofing & General Contracting Jobs

hands down, the highest quality set of bags i've ever owned. a gift from my father, i would never have paid the price myself. that said, they are sweet. the leather is incredibly high quality, the stitching is tight, with no loose strings, every stress point is riveted. the pocket layout is intuitive, everything is where you think it should be.ok that was the rave. couple things i did, the black nylon handles, cut them right off and flame sealed the edge. no regret there. the handles get in the way of the tape pocket.neetsfoot oil. this leather out of the box is stiff. even with treatment, it will take a long break in period. my girl got a good giggle when i cooked dinner wearing them. i've now taken to keeping them wrapped around a five gallon bucket so it will take a shape. honestly, with no treatment, i think it would take years to break these bags in. i think it may take that long even with modest treatment (don't get carried away with neetsfoot or mink oil, and only use high quality natural oils, i only use kiwi ymmv) maybe running over them with a mack truck a few times will soften things up. anyone tries that get back to me, let me know how it went.lastly, the CLC 21110 Leather Suspenders are matching; same leather, color, hardware, etc. and are well worth the additional $40 (2013 price) comfort isn't the first word you think of when trying on a rig. but this combination is comfortable, fully loaded with tools and nails, it really helps to put some of the weight on your shoulders and allows you to loosen the belt for a little breathing room.as i said, i wouldn't have bought these for myself. but they are without a doubt, the nicest bags i've ever owned. i fully expect this will be the last rig i will ever use.
