Here's a belt I just finished for a friend. It's 1-1./2" wide and is about 12 oz total. It's sewn with 92 thread at 12 spi. The lining is finger cut and the buckle set is a nice old N. Porter.

Beautiful work Bobby, Can you enlighten me on what thickness leather you line the belt with? (Here in OZ we use mm to describe the weight of leather). I have a conversion chart for converting ounces to mm. I have never tried your technique of decorating the inside of the belt . It adds that "little bit extra". Thank you for sharing.

I typically use 7/8 oz leather with a 4/5 oz lining. The more ornate the tooling pattern, the thinner the top leather will be and therefore the lining will become thicker to achieve 12 oz total. Occassionally I'll get a call for thicker belts, but 12 oz is the most common.

Hope this helps...
