How To Make This Type Of Belt

[Schpacko]

This looks like a US Army belt.There is a company that use these surplus belts to create trendy belts.Try to Google: Dukes Belts.You will see plenty of details of these belts.Chris

Awesome, thanks a lot. I just found out that this auctually is a Dukes Belt.

--> hundreds of pictures but i cant find i single one that shows the backside

A quick google image search turned up this picture, which shows that the flap is lap-skived and stitched on.

Quick Update

This is how my belt turned out:

As you can see, i just stiched the flap along with the buckle fold.

I am "kinda happy" with the result. I'm not completely satisfied with my stitching work, but most of all, i'm pretty p*ssed that i stitched the keeper loop a little bit crooked, which is pretty eye-catching in the first picture....

But over all, it's not that bad, i guess.

Thanks for the help guys.

Cheers

Very Nice!

Nice job! I don't think the stitching is bad!

Really nice, I am unsure what the small d ring is for? It looks kinda cool but is there a reason?

Nice job on the belt. They're kinda cool looking, but other than looks, what's the loop with the D-ring for? I wouldn't think anyone would want to hang keys there? If they were military belts, was it some kind of military function?

Thanks. As far as i know, the loop with the ring was originally used to attach a sabre to the belt. Nowadays, the guys actually do attach their keys, or a chain for the wallet.
