Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. Lots of folks from around the world here. Glad to have you and happy crafting!!

WOW! The craftsmanship is phenomenal! The level of detail on the spacing of all those dots, unreal! I am sure your son was pleased.

That is a cool design. I really like it. Stitching looks clean all the way around. That brand is pretty cool too. The only thing i would add would be to slick the edges, even those on the mystery braid. Well done.

Nicely designed. Col 3 is one of my favorites. I really like the closure device you selected. Classy.

There is a shop in Kansas City MO - Fitzwater Leather. He is an active duty firefighter and does leatherwork. He focuses on shields and has made tons of them around the country. Reach out to him. He would be happy to help, if he has what you need.

Nicely done. I had the same phenomenon occur when I made a belt for my dad. He only wears it for special occasions. That is sharp. Hope he wears it more than just on Sundays.

I haven't looked through my copy yet. That looks like a fun project.

Agreed. I normally have them bring an old one to my shop or have them send pics of the belt with the tape measure on it. This would be good for modifying existing belts though. So far, I have only modified them to make it shorter, not longer. This would be a way to do it.

Welcome from SW Missouri! Looks like you have been busy! Nice work!!

Great save! I haven't had to do that yet, but will file it away if I ever get the wrong measurement.

Absolutely stunning!

those look really nice! Glad you have the time to get back into leatherworking.

Welcome from SW Missouri, USA. You are now joined! Lots of knowledgeable folks on here regarding sewing machines.

Looks really clean! Love the stitching. It appears that the laminated edges could use a bit more sanding so they look like a single piece of leather instead of 3. It takes a bit more time, but the results are fantastic after burnishing the edges. I would also help to really press down on the pieces after gluing to ensure there are no gaps between the leather.

Very sharp. Great call on the color!!
