Members leathercrafter Posted April 12, 2011 Members Report Posted April 12, 2011 I am making up some belt blanks and was wondering if there was a good average length to cut them to? the average belt sizes are 34 to 38 and maybe some 40's that is the size i did when i built belts for a saddle shop. john Quote

JRodz Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 Steve,I think it depends on your market and the area you live in. Of the 20 or so belts I've made over the last year, the smallest was a 36 and the biggest was a 46. The most popular sizes were 38, 40, and 42. That being said my market is the biker community with some military and construction sales mixed in. Just my .02. I also usually only cut what I need so I don't end up with too many long or short straps (learned that by experiencing it) but it does require more storage/rack space to keep your rolls of leather.
