I went down this rabbit hole, it was fun. I need to order better hardware but you get the point. 

The 1at by milt sparks has an oddly shaped adjustable welt that adjusts tension.

This is for a 5" 1911. It is a behemoth with the body being 2 layers of 6/7 oz and the welt is 4 layers for a total of 8 at the thickest part (about.75" thick). It also has sewn in sight rails that was interesting. I sewed them to the liner so you cant see them on the front. Im not a fan of hand stitching that welt either, but we do what is necessary haha.

Thanks. The view of the welt was before finishing. I forgot to mention that. It was an interesting build for sure.
