Ddat Report post Posted February 1, 2023 My old belt got all raggedy and was never as stiff as I wanted. 8 oz. Face, 4 oz. Inner liner. Got these buckles from fosterweld on Etsy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doubleh Report post Posted February 1, 2023 12 ounce thickness, it certainly should keep your pants in place. I don't know that I would like one that heavy duty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brokenolmarine Report post Posted February 2, 2023 I'd go with a heavy duty belt. You know, to hold up a holster and mag pouch.. but I see the poster is from CA... he may not need to do so. I see why you went with Blue thread, picks up the buckle. Could have gone with Orange as well. Both would have looked sharp. Great Job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted February 2, 2023 A good belt is hard to come by these days . . . but it looks like you did it well. I'm wearing a double 7 oz that is nearly 20 years old . . . it is right at .220 inches thick . . . And I make a version like that which has a steel lining for those who need their britches not to sag. Thanks for sharing with us . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hags Report post Posted February 3, 2023 I use 8/9 with a 4/5 backing to hold up holsters and pouches. Works well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Outfitr Report post Posted February 9, 2023 Nice belt. I've been using 6oz./6oz. lately and I like the weight and flexibility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After making this one I'm thinking even layers might be better. It was tricky getting the thick and thin layer beveled nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used some blue thread on a belt dyed with whiskey antique , I took a bit of a punt. You never know if you never give it a go. Looked damn good Nice HS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
