People are WAY harder to deal with than leather!  JM2C, Jim

I've lengthened plain belts with this method, but not belts with names centered in the back. Won't this throw that off a bit, or does it matter? 

You did a great job of itt!!

Yes AND you can cuss out your leather all day long without repercussions.

Thank you. It threw the centering off a little, but not a bad as I expected it to. The customer was made aware of this, and he didn't seem to mind much. Some people are easy going and don't let the small thing bother them.  He's that type of person.

Last Christmas I was asked to make 4 belts . . .  I told her how . . .  and STRESSED it needed to be measured correctly.

I have 3 of the 4 in my shop . . .  you guessed it . . .  wrong dimensions.

I'll "fix" them . . . basically using the original poster's idea.

But like another said . . .  it's almost as tough to "re do" work as it is to do it in the first place.

May God bless,
