I noticed you said you have some "how to" information regarding Ranger style belts. These are my very favorite style, don't know why but I love them. Do you have any templates for these style belts that you would be willing to post for printing? Also, are they measured the same as other belts or do they require a different way of measuring? Yes, I am new, but I have caught the bug in a big way and want to learn as much as I can as quick as I can. I am a dry sponge ready to be saturated so fill me up.

This is gold for me. I know the process of making a belt, I just needed strong guidance with the whole "measurement" thing.

Yeah, that measurement thing is what will bite you in the butt every time. It bit me enough.

Thanks Jim. Your belt making tutorial is the cat's meow. I've tried using the customer's belt to get the proper measurement, thinking that it would be right on. But between stretch in the old belt, and the curve that that it forms after a lot of use, I had a heck of a time getting it right. Finally started using a tape measure, which was a little better. But some of them had a tendency to suck in their gut when the tape went around their waist. Using your belt sizer I can let them cinch it up, then make some small talk with them until they finally have to let their breath out so I can get the right size. :-)

Thanks for sharing,

Fred

Sucking in our gut is a curse all men are born with. Until you get over 50. Then it's just too much trouble.

You're welcome, sir.

Thank you Jim, I made a belt from 24" to 70" If they are larger then that, they won't need a belt.
