Let me know if, in your opinion, there is a better name for a belt than "SLAPPER" !
Belt for customer's buckle, vegetable tanned leather.

How Do The Hairy Edges Get So Smooth?
I bought to belts from a company called JUKMO on Amazon. They seemed nice from what I saw online. They're not dress belts, they're casual, but have a cool sort of push-button buckle. Anyway, they're packed like a nice watch or something in a nice box with a thick paper outer covering, and the belt itself came in a nice drawstring bag that D&D people might keep their dice in. It's very cool, but it seemed a bit overkill for a casual belt.
I ordered a couple of belts on Amazon last night. I'm a simple guy. I like those military style belts with a simple clasp for casual wear..
Anyway, I was watching some youtube today and was getting hit with ads for BELTS. Apparently there's a company (I won't name them because fuck them) with nice belts, and a 100 YEAR WARRANTY!
ONE HUNDRED YEARS!!!!
#3StrandBraids
#Braids are the last of the #decorative elements on the #IonicScroll, but like #EggsAndDarts, they are not specific to the #IonicOrder.
Braids are a popular design motif that find wide currency in modern #hairstyles, #fashion, and fashion accessories like #belts and #bracelets.
Braids come in infinite varieties with varying number of strands, thickness of strands, roundness or flatness of strands, and how tightly or loosely they are wound together. Here, I focus on the 3-strand variant mentioned in #Vignola's book and previewed in https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792015485979791089. The image here is brightly colored to draw attention to the 3 strands.
The geometry of braid strands is not at all obvious despite how familiar they look. Also, a braid strand is the only feature in the entire iconic order whose geometry cannot be captured with straight lines and circular arcs. Instead, a strand geometry must be defined in a series of steps starting with a basic #sinusoidal curve.
A sinusoidal curve or #sinusoid is a wave form whose function belongs to a family of functions known as #transcendentalFunctions that also include #logarithmic and #exponential functions. I mentioned #logarithmicSpirals in https://pixelfed.social/p/Splines/792499765146596723, and in a future post I will show how to construct one and compare it with the spirals used in our implementation of #IonicVolute.
They are called transcendental functions because they transcend the math of finite algebraic polynomials and go beyond geometry into trigonometry. Fortunately, we don't have to go there.
Few #CAD tools have a direct primitive for a sinusoid, but almost all have a primitive for a 3-dimensional round coil shape called a #helix which we can use to create the sinusoids we need for a braid strand. To create s sinusoid, all we need to do is #project a helix on a flat surface to convert it into a 2D waveform.

Here's a bit of how I #work .
I make my patterns myself - the ones I use to cut out pieces for #leather #goods and the ones I use for a #handcarved #decoration .
Two of these #leather #belts are decorated by a pattern that are inspired by #Estonian #folkart .
The other two are decorated by a sort of pattern that makes them #unique as they're cut onto the leather without any prepared drawing.
So as there is no #written #proof of the making process - are they #real or are they #myth ?
Happy New Year everybody 
If you store your belts rolled-up like me. This could be a model for you 
Happy printing

1972 A Fashionable Pair Posing for the Camera
This image features two individuals dressed in fashion from the 1970s.
The person on the left is wearing a suit with a patterned tie, while the individual on the right is dressed in a plaid pantsuit with a matching plaid shirt and tie, complemented by a plaid scarf.
Both are wearing patterned shirts and belts that match their respective outfits.
They stand against a neutral background, smiling towards the camera, suggesting they may be attending a formal event or capturing a moment of their fashion-forward attire.
