Backing For Belts

Recommended Posts

I saw someone had stated the backing on the belt was glued? How do you get that look/finish on the back of veg/tanned leather. Thanks

The finished look comes from gluing and sewing the two pieces of leather back to back so the finished sides are out on both.

You will find a variety of different methods here for assembly but I normally make the back piece 1/4 Inch wider than the outside and trim the excess after they are glued. When I started I made the width 1/2 wider, now that I've dome some I am better at lining up the two pieces and have reduced the waste.
