I made my first leather belt. It was made out of Italian veg tanned 3.6-3.8mm leather, a brass buckle and keeper. I think it turned out pretty good.

it came out great! imo the tongue might be a smidge long.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

I like it, and yes a bit long. I leave mine at 4" past the first hole. Better than being short like my first one was!

That is beautiful.  As far as amount of leather in front of the first hole, Chuck at Weaver leather has some really good tutorials on belts to help guide you to the proper length.  Nicely done.  Love the color.

I'll check them out. I do think it's a bit long

That’s very nice and clean and simple. I’m trying my first belt now and I don’t have anywhere near as clean of a finish.
