Iwb Strap Dimensions

I was thinking 1/2" x4". What do y all use for straps?

I recently made some tuckable loops and it took about 10" of leather. I think I went 3/4" wide. If they are not tuckable, then they could be quite a bit shorter.

For a 1.5" belt, my belt loops measure 4.5" between the holes. I add 1/2" to one end and 5/8" to the other past the hole. That would make the strap 5 - 5/8" long.

It depends on your construction. You have to take into account your attachment points and your snap, and the width and thickness of the belt. My blank straps are typically 6.25" and will accommodate up to a 2" belt.

For a 1.5" belt I've found 1" x 5.5" to work well for me
