Members tanda4 Posted October 14, 2014 Members Report Posted October 14, 2014 I'm looking to make a casual dress belt for myself. I want to know what type and even what manufacturer of leather? Thanks Quote
Members tossik Posted October 14, 2014 Members Report Posted October 14, 2014 Herman Oak veg tan works great for me. Nice and smooth finish. Quote
Members Dwight Posted October 14, 2014 Members Report Posted October 14, 2014 Vegetable tanned leather is what you will want if you want to dye it, stamp it, decorate it, etc. Blanks can be purchased through Tandy Leather, or almost any of the other suppliers. Go to a Tandy store and pick it out yourself. A belt is a good project for a "first one" and the folks there can get you started out at least mostly correct. I personally use Feibings pro oil dye and Resolene for a finish on all my belts. Both are cut 50/50, . . . dye with thinner, Resolene with water. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
