Folded Leather Gun Belt

[jc3persons]

in process of trying a 2nd belt and looking at ways to attach the buckle and stumbled across a site that sure looks like quality work...Some of there belts are folded over and sewen on top and ends...

was curious if any of craftsman on this forum had done some that way and how they like them....if so how do you deal with the fold to make it even with the other side,,thanks!!

Cut the inside liner short and fold the top piece of leather over to secure the buckle. Many makers including myself build belts this way.

Thank you.

If you try to fold two pieces of leather over the buckle you'll have to thin out both pieces before folding. Otherwise it's a big thick leather sandwich that doesn't want to fold. It can be done and some makers use this method. It's not my preference though - much quicker for me to go single. Find what you like and go with it.
