I don’t know how I missed this post, but I did until just now. I try to make them match. I hate when I flub it. tell me more about this slot. I’d be interested in seeing that. and thank you. A compliment from JLS is a good day

Very nicely done. I really like that holster

Love that color. Very clean

That was exactly what he said he wanted to look like. Not too bad for a Chief. I talked to him the other day. He wants a matching watchband for a family member, but he says he gets compliments everywhere he goes. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you very much!

That’s right, it’s to hold the main belt together. I machine stitched it on a cobra 4. It’s been a while since I’ve hand stitched a belt. also, thank you for the kind words

I’ve never had that trouble except with close range aerosol leather sheen. I do cut it 50/50 with water, and I’ve started dipping it. No problems so far

Thank you! Thank you. Those are made with a stitching groover.

I used a clip. I can’t remember what size I have, off hand

I tried a few weeks ago to satisfy my curiosity. I kind of tried to throw it together without much of a pattern. Theres an instructables on it and There’s several YouTube videos of in-depth construction. I still want to make one.

In my experience, I’ve noticed that even sometimes a dye color differs on the same hide. Chemicals on top of chemicals. It’s kind of like a science experiment.

They’re not much more work. Just a little more material. I never wore one until about 5 or 6 years ago, but I really like them. I’ve repaired about 2 dozen from local law enforcement though. Those take a beating.

It’s 1-3/4” and tapers to 1” edit: I meant that the billets were 1”. I have tapered belts on my mind today

This is one of my favorite color combinations in a belt.

Haha thank y’all! I like the simplicity In a belt.
