Members gunfighter48 Posted February 13, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 13, 2008 Great looking Belts John,stiching is perfect , What type of sewing machinedo you have. May i make a sugestion??? get yourself some better looking Buckles some with some heaft...I M H O P... I have a Neels Saddelry Model 5 machine (drop feed, cylinder bed). It does a good job, leaves a light imprint of the feed dogs on the back side of the belt but doesn't seem to be a problem with my customers. I'm still working on getting the presser foot tension set so that the marks are as light as possible and still feeds reliably. I hear you on the buckles, most of my customer prefer a plain buckle and I'm getting ready to order again so will try a different style with more heft.

Hi Warren, Belts usually run 1 to 1 1/2 in wide, with 1 1/2 in being the most popular width ( it will fit most jeans, docker style pants). The wider belt helps to prevent the belt from twisting outward when carrying a concealed weapon. This keeps the weapon pulled in tight to the body and that conceals it better. I personally like Inside the Waist Band holsters, I have never been spotted when carrying with that style holster. I skive the tongue and buckle ends to minimize the bulk and make them easier to buckle up. They are very stiff when new and will loosen a little with use.

John JOHN & WARREN, THOUGHT TO PONDER. this has happened to me before before you start cutting the belt strips, * measure the inside width of the buckle , to make sure that an 1-1/2" belt will fit.
