Measuring For A Drop Loop Style Gunbelt?

[JRLeather2]

I am trying to find out if any one out there has a tried and true formula for the measurement of the drop loop style gun belt. I have tried searching the site to no avail and all the holster and belt makers online say they have a formula for doing this.........any ideas? Thanks.

My for sure way is make a pattern and add to it or take off depending on the persons size with the customer in my shop. The only other i can figure the others do is to keep the holster in the same place no matter the length and add or take off of the other end. Or they get the waist size and add a couple of inches. You will have a couple of inches in length to play with depending how far you let belt run past when it's put on. Not sure what they would do a double gun holster. JMO and it aint worth much.

In John Bianchi's VHS video, . . . he said take the belt the guy wears now, . . . measure it buckle to most used hole, . . . add 4 inches. Make that measurement the gunbelt length from buckle to center hole on a 5 hole belt tongue.

DO NOT ask him what size belt he wears, as most people do not know. Believe me, . . . measure em.

May God bless,
