New belt for myself

[Ddat]

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.

12 ounce thickness, it certainly should keep your pants in place. I don't know that I would like one that heavy duty.

Very nice

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.

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,

Sharp looking belt. I also like the blue thread, really dresses it up.

I use 8/9 with a 4/5 backing to hold up holsters and pouches. Works well.

Not my ideal color choices.. It's what I had!

Nice belt. I've been using 6oz./6oz. lately and I like the weight and flexibility.

Thanks. After making this one I'm thinking even layers might be better. It was tricky getting the thick and thin layer beveled nicely.

Thats quite smart looking. 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
