Members Jim Posted January 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 Dwight, your right. And is why I added the never fail belt tester. When in doubt, measure it out. (Wow, two rhymes in a row.) Just proves that the customer ain't always right. If some one give you wrong information, they pay for it. That'll learn em dern em! (Man, I'm on a roll!) Love you all!

Members TomG Posted January 31, 2015 Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 Had a real similar experience as Dwight. My "mentor" actually gave me a test measurement strap like yours. I had a lady friends of ours who wanted a belt so I handed it to her and told her to put it on and tell me what hole it was. My mistake was in not watching and asking if that was where she wore her BELTED pants. At the time, she was wearing sweat pants and the belt was for low-rider jeans. A 4" mistake....

Members Jim Posted January 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 Well you have to keep in mind that Thomas Jefferson said that all men were created equal. Women on the other hand are proof that our Creator has a sense of humor and us equally created men are the butt of the joke. After all, they have them "hips" that befuddle us in more ways than one. All jokes aside, a few years ago I took on a job for a custom gun belt for a rather famous lady SASS member that turned into an engineering project. It's a one of a kind. That bring said, is there a right way to make a belt? Yes. Is there only one way? Heck no. The point is that sometimes you can hit the nail over the phone but most of the time we have to meet with the person and work out the bugs before we cut. Your not the only one that's had to re-do an order. Ouch! Jim Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.
Members Jim Posted January 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Here's a photo to let you see what was involved in the gun belt. It's not a typical single drop gun belt, it is a one of a kind. Jim Edited January 31, 2015 by Jim Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.

Members Jim Posted January 31, 2015 Author Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 That was made for the World Famous Hurricane. Her and her husband are very good friends of mine. Jim Quote Never forget where you are, so you will always remember where you've been.
Members Dwight Posted January 31, 2015 Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 I'm an old fan of the Lone Ranger, Tonto, Silver, and Scout, . . . and I just saw a left handed, female Kemosabe in the picture. I'm sure all the guys who played the Lone Ranger wish they had shooting skills like hers. That's all a really good looking bunch of leather work.

Members TomG Posted January 31, 2015 Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 I like the shotgun shell "waistalier". Looks a lot more efficient than the over the shoulder bandolier. I am really into the one of a kind stuff. Don't like doing the same old stuff all the time, but those are ones that pay the bills, so to speak.

Members TomG Posted January 31, 2015 Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 I do have a question though... What is the purpose/reasoning for both guns facing the left hand? Quote Tom Gregory Legacy Leathercraft www.legacyleathercraft.com www.etsy.com/shop/legacyleathercraft
Members Lillian ADju Posted January 31, 2015 Members Report Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks, Jim Quote
