We’ve written about Portland-based Hecklewood a fair bit around here. What do you expect us to do when we find a completely badass brand and/or store doing their own thing and doing everything right?

TANNER, Hecklewood’s sub-brand for leather goods, has been producing messenger bags and wallets for about a year now — I’m in serious need of one of their Lscape messengers; that’s a piece of beauty right there — and they’ve now moved on to the land of belts. Not these department store, last-a-year-and-fall-apart kind, but the old school could-serve-as-a-weapon-in-a-pinch belt, where the leather pretty much stands up on its own. “All of our belts are cut, edged, assembled, and branded by hand from super heavy-weight 9 oz. premium strap leather…This stuff will last a lifetime – no joke….” And, to top it off, they’re offering our faithful readers a 15% discount with the first 25 orders getting a free key leash to boot. Just enter “joshspear” as the coupon code when you check out. Then get back here and tell us who’s the first to get spanked with your new belt…or what kind of pants they’re holding up.
