Type Of Leather For A Mens Dress Belt?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to make a casual dress belt for myself. I want to know what type and even what manufacturer of leather?

Thanks

Vegetable tanned leather is what you will want if you want to dye it, stamp it, decorate it, etc.

Blanks can be purchased through Tandy Leather, or almost any of the other suppliers. Go to a Tandy store and pick it out yourself.

A belt is a good project for a "first one" and the folks there can get you started out at least mostly correct. I personally use Feibings pro oil dye and Resolene for a finish on all my belts. Both are cut 50/50, . . . dye with thinner, Resolene with water.

May God bless,

Dwight
