Im really glad I sew them then zuludog

Thank you very much for your answers. Its given me some good places to continue my research. Ive so far made 4 belts, 3 of which used standard buckles, 1 of which used a plate buckle. I took my template from an old belt I had but want to make myself a full set of templates, thus I started my research research. Im hoping to have templates for all 'tip' styles and buckle styles for straight, tapered etc etc. I had used a 2" then 1 hole every 1" for my previous belts but Ian Atkinson mentioned the other style and it made me wonder if there were anymore common styles of spacing holes. I also stitch the entire perimeter of my belts as I believe it gives them a nice finished look and is a good chance to practice my saddle stitching.

Hey everyone. I thought I would start ff by introducing myself. I've been doing a tiny little bit of leatherwork for about 3 years in my spare time, mainly belts at the minute but I hope to increase my skills and projects over time. And now for the question. Does anyone have any good sources of information on belts. Ive only just found out about english pointed tip shapes for example. The things im trying to find out are the different tip shapes, hole spacing, patterns, etc etc. Websites, videos, books etc that i could use for research would all be great. Cheers everyone.
