3/4" IMO, is a good idea. 1" sometimes is too much or too little.

When I made one, I found it laid flatter and was more comfortable when I made the holes elongated/oval instead of round. It also eliminated the distortion the holes had. Also, your allignment problem could be fixed by glueing the two pieces together prior to cutting to final width. I really like the edge treatment and color of your so called "fail" belt. Call your production belt the "fail safe".

Interesting idea. I'll have to check into a small oval punch.

Yeah - I'd though of that. I've got a strap cutter, but it's a pretty good challenge to keep the width consistent for the lenght of a belt (roughly 60")... and I found a pretty good deal on 1 1/2" belt blanks.

Thanks. I'm not really doing anything different that what I do on the holsters - hopefully the pictures aren't implying something that's not there.

I really need a carry belt. To this day I have never bought myself a nice thick leather belt made to carry with and obviously this causes annoying issues all the time.

I would love to take that first attempt 1"er off your hands instead of it seeing the trash bin but I see how the thickness and stiffness of keeping the double layering at the tail can be a pain to buckle and tuck the tail into the keeper.


Once your ready I will be one of the first to place an order for a belt. Excellent looking and it looks like your heading in the right direction.
Keep it up I REALLY need a good belt .

Excellent work as usual.

This is going to be a great belt. Look forward to seeing it once she is done!
