Brown belts are here!
Vanguard Belts is very happy to announce that Brown belts will soon be joining the product line! This has been a long time coming, and a significant number of previous Vanguard Belts customers have been requesting a brown belt option since the business began. You will soon have the option to choose between Black or Brown for the following belt models: The Original, and the TC Belt. I have just recently acquired the brown material, and have not yet built up a brown belt inventory, but I will begin that process at this weekend's Crown Point Gun & Knife Show while I'm there. I'll be making them as fast as possible. I have made two demo models for display on my table, so you will be able to see them and look them over right away.
You may have noticed that the TS Belt was not mentioned. This is because Vanguard Belts has another announcement: The TS Belt is being discontinued and will be phased out of the product line. While the TS Belt is a fine product, it has not been a very good seller. The majority of Vanguard Belts customers seem to prefer the thicker, more rigid structure provided by the Original and TC models. The thinner, more pliable TS Belt just doesn't seem to resonate with the typical customer. There is still a nearly full inventory of TS Belts available, and they can still be purchased until they are sold out. The good news is that TS Belts are now at a clearance price of only $30! If you've ever considered adding a TS Belt to your wardrobe, now is the time!
Getting back to the brown belt material, you wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to acquire it. It would seem like such a simple matter, but the abbreviated version of the long, boring backstory is that it wasn't. The biggest hurdle was the cost because I was required to buy this stuff in lots of 1000 feet for each of the two variants. That was a challenge. Then, once paid for and ordered, I learned that I was responsible for arranging my own shipping. Cost estimates for that were an absurd $1100 and up! Rather than suffer that ridiculous financial hit, I made special arrangements with the manufacturer and I drove to Cleveland, OH to pick it up myself and drive it back home the same day. Hurdles overcome!
I hope you will find these upcoming brown belts to be to your liking. Keep checking the online inventory to see if your size is in stock. And as always, if there is a special size needed that is not available in the online store, just reach out to me via e-mail or phone and let me know what you need. I'll be happy to build a belt just for you.
I hope to see you at the gun show this weekend!
