DieselTech Report post Posted November 27 Nice work. They all look great! I got a question to ask? Do you ever make random belt lengths to sell at craft shows/ leather shows? & if so. What seems to be your hottest selling lengths? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tried it once diesel . . . and almost never got rid of my "inventory" . . . at the show . . . if it was the right size . . . wrong color . . . right color . .. wrong design . . . etc . . . Of these belts here . . . 42 was probably the average size. Besides that . . . I very seldom make single layer belts. Mine are for CCW . . . two layers . . . run from 0.180 to 0.240 thick . . . depending a lot on the chubbiness of the customer. Those are just too expensive to make to make on "guesswork" The shows I see . . . they guys selling belts . . . they have basically about 48 inch belts . . . and when they measure the customer . . . cut off the buckle end to fit. They get 30 to 40 out of each. I'm just not in that market May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was going to make a few lined belts to sell, but was worried about exactly what you described. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
