Sylvia's way works, . . . but if you make the front out of a little thinner leather, . . . line it with another piece of leather, . . . you'll end the problem much quicker, . . . and more permanently.

The other thing of course, . . . use a better grade of leather, . . . and be careful where you cut it out of the hide. That is one of the reasons I use double shoulders almost exclusively.

I don't REFUSE to make an unlined belt, . . . but I hate to do it, . . . knowing a lined belt is SOOOOOOOOOO much better.

May God bless,

Dwight

Be sure to finish the front side and the edges and dye the back before you try to smooth out the back.

I usually just wet down the edge of my saddle soap bar and rub down the back a bit, finish with a rub stick. Let it dry and apply your finish.
