^ LCG is the company.. And all leather ages over time.. Its just what color u want the leather to age too.. Natural turns a brownish color and London will turn into a darker brownish cherry color..

I'm grabbing the Tanner Traditional Belt myself, just not sure if I want the London Tan or Natural.

Need to find a wallet too but everything I like has no coin holder in it sad Damn Australian currency.

I used to work for Red Wings during 98, we always help oiling customer boots. Oiling them with mink oil once a mth will help darken & soften it. Most importantly repel water. Once the leather is soften it will be damn comfortable to wear. Enjoy those boot... smile

Eric just sent me an email saying it shipped last week and that it should arrive shortly.

jakeandcoke, the site specifies the creation and shipping of the belt taking a bit of time so that's why I waited.

When you get a leather good does it just age naturally throughout wear or do you have to oil it? Just wondering cause I'm copping a corter belt and wanna know if I should get some oils or whatever.
