Wear your STEEM! People have been asking for it...I finished up the first ever Steemit Belt and have put it and two other handmade STEEM symbol and Steemit leather items in the Armadillo Leather Etsy shop.
The STEEMIT BELT
https://www.etsy.com/listing/586914130/steem-steemit-symbol-belt-steem
1 1/2" wide vegetable tanned cowhide belt, hand embossed and dyed. I can do these in solid, dress belt black, solid brown, antique (red, yellow and brown tones) and "brown burst" pictured above. 30-52" waist. $65-95 USD on Etsy depending on size.
The STEEM Buckle
https://www.etsy.com/listing/586941118/custom-steem-symbol-belt-buc"kle
2" X 3" Vegatable tanned cowhide, hand embossed and colored. Will fit any 1 1/4 - 1 1/2" belt with snaps to remove the buckle. $25 USD on Etsy. I posted some process shots of making this buckle here: https://steemit.com/wearyoursteem/@armadilloman/wear-your-steem-contest-entry-introducing-the-steem-buckle-an-armadilloman-photo-blog
The STEEM Card Wallet
https://www.etsy.com/listing/597416543/steem-symbol-card-wallet-steem
All hand embossed, sewn and colored. I recently posted a "How I did that" photo blog of making these wallets that you may not have seen. So go here: https://steemit.com/art/@armadilloman/making-a-steem-symbol-minimalist-card-wallet-a-photo-blog-leather-art-and-craft-by-armadilloman
Each is made with vegetable tanned cowhide and hand colored with an antique look with red, yellow and brown tones. The pictured card wallet is a 3 1/8 x 4 1/8 inches sized one, perfect for 6-8 cards and slightly oversized ID cards. $40 USD on Etsy.
CUSTOM MADE ITEMS MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE AS EVERY PIECE OF COWHIDE IS DIFFERENT AND ACCEPTS COLOR DIFFERENTLY. I TRY TO TAKE PICTURES THAT TRUELY REPRESENT THE ITEM. THE ACTUAL ITEM MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN COLOR DUE TO LIGHTING, PHOTO PROCESSING AND THE MONITOR YOU ARE VIEWING.
Sorry, no international orders from the Armadillo Leather Etsy shop. Nothing against shipping internationally, its just that I can scarcely keep up with domestic demand on Etsy, let alone global. So I limit the Etsy market to the USA.
Etsy purchasers: I will refund your shipping and ship for free if you mention your Steemit account name to me in the notes when you check out on Etsy. Just a thank you for being a Steemian.
International buyers will be responsible for their own customs duties. Sorry, no, I won't lie on the form to say it is a gift, so please don't ask me to.
I will also sell any of these 3 items for Steem or SBD
Here is the deal. These are custom, made to order items. If you would like to purchase using Steem or SBD, let me know in a comment below and we will chat about it. If you are an Etsy user we can negotiate payment on Steemit and exchange shipping info privately through the Etsy message system.
I hesitate to assign any Steem or SBD prices in this post since the value of both has been too volatile (to the downside mostly) to just name a crypto price and stick with it for 7 Days. I will give you a Steem/SBD price for the day when we make contact via chat, discord, email or Etsy.

Just wanted to let you know: I got the Steem wallet I ordered - and I found the perfect place for it. :)
Could you give an approximate quote in SBDs for a Steem Belt for a 38-inch waist? It'll take me about a day to raise enough SBDs: once I get 'em, I'll send them to you once you confirm with an exact quote.
Just like the last time, I'll send you my address in the Memo when I transfer the SBDs to you. Glad to be a repeat customer. :)

Fabulous @nxtblg! I will get back to you on the belt. Tonight is my TV night with my dad. After that I will work on this for you. --Armadilloman

Okay heres my math on this $75 USD (Esty price) - $10 (Steem transaction and non-Etsy transaction discount) = $65 + $17.90 (First Class shipping) = $82.90 / 2.28 (the value of SBD on Busy at 10 PM EST) = 36.35 SBD or 38.20 Steem (at $2.17 per Steem) .
Math make sense? Lets round that to 36 SBD or 38 Steem for 38" Steemit belt.
Your choice of antique nickel plate buckle (pictured) or smaller, dressier antique brass buckle.
Your choice of Brown Burst (color shown) Antique (like the wallets) or Solid Black.
I have your address from the wallet shipping if nothing has changed.
All make sense @nxtblg? Also if you would like to send me an email address via chat or memo, we can talk off board if need be.
Thanks so much for your consideration! --Armadilloman

Okay! I just sent you 38 STEEM for a 38" belt, antique nickel plate buckle, in Brown Burst, as said in the accompanying Memo. My mailing address is the same.
Thanks.

I can get to working on that tomorrow. Just want to make sure we are good on the length. I am measuring from the heel of the buckle, where it attaches to the belt to the middle hole. Thanks so much, @nxtblg! You will keep your britches up with Steemit pride!

Nice workmanship! This will pave the way towards a lot of branding I think.
I am not in the states so sadly I will not be able to order. But I guess that just like the rest of Steemit, this can inspire other entrepreneurs to do great things like this.

Thanks for the kudos!
Yes, you can order something, Sorry if I was unclear. You can't through Etsy, but we can work out something for Steem or SBD here. It is a little clumsy since there is no structure for the exchange of private addresses on Steemit, but we can exchange emails. I will just have to charge whatever the international first class shipping rate is and the recipient is liable for any customs duties that may be applicable. Thanks for the consideration!

These are great! Do you have any plans to expand the range? I dig the belt a lot, but maybe needs to be a little more subtle? Just spitballing ideas before I make a decision haha.
How have you found taking orders in SBD with price being as volatile as it has been? Has it been a good experience for you, or do you feel that you’ve been ripped off?
Anyway, great work again. Creating unique Steemit art that has a functional use and promoting the Steem economy. Definitely worth the follow.
See you around! 🐄

You should see the antique version for unsubtle. A solid black or brown one would be more subtle, yes, and those are options. Could wear a black one to church.
You know I am now doing crypto price quotes for the day, instead of for the duration of the post and that is less hair raising. My feeling for selling items for Steem is that I have to take a long view. I am not going to run the Steem to the exchange and cash out now anyway. It is all staying on the the Steemit platform at the moment, so up some, down some, who cares. In the end I may lose my shirt or make out like a bandit, or something in between. For the Steemit economy to be more then a proto-economy or worse, more then an imaginary economy, its going to require risk taking. I am willing to take the relatively small risk that at the end of the day I made less selling for crypto then USD for the good of the community and as a vote in the future.
Thanks for stopping by, @forexbrokr. Let me know if I can help you keep your pants up in a Steemit way in the future.
