Thank you everyone.
Dwight,
Thank you aswell. I like pancakes but it typically limits the space I have to do any tooling. So the rivets... Instead of stitching around the belt holes i chose to put them there to reinforce the 2 layers of leather together. The outside of the hole is close enough to the stitched edge so it isn't need there. The bonus is it adds a little extra element of styling to it.
