Members amuckart Posted March 10, 2012 Members Report Posted March 10, 2012 A quick google image search turned up this picture, which shows that the flap is lap-skived and stitched on. Quote -- Al.

Members Schpacko Posted March 20, 2012 Author Members Report Posted March 20, 2012 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 Schpacko Quote
rickybobby Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 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? Quote Rick

I wouldn't think anyone would want to hang keys there? If they were military belts, was it some kind of military function?

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. Quote
