digdug18 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I tried searching, couldn't find anything. I was looking for a pattern, or how thick to make it, what weight leather, etc. But couldn't find anything. It seems like the perfect product to me, that big open space for a pattern, figure carving, perhaps some stingray inlay? You'd figure that they want to stand out, make a statement when at the gym. At least they do at the gym I goto. I might just buy a belt, perhaps a used belt just so I can copy it. Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byggyns Report post Posted February 17, 2015 The ones I have used have all been really heavy weight leather. I don't think using 12-14 oz would be out of line. Skive the buckle end of course. I have used some that were lined with suede and had a cushioned section in the small of the back ( the very wide portion of the belt). I've never seen any patterns, but I'm sure there are some out there. I think making a pattern yourself would be easy. Just figure our how wide the large section will be and how long, then narrow it down to a 2-1/2" or 3" strap portion. good luck & post pics of the final product Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digdug18 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 Just found one on ebay for cheap, I'll deconstruct it, and make a pattern for it, I'll post the dimensions up here when I get it all done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief31794 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I made this one for a customer a while back. Pretty simple, it's 8/10 oz laminated together to make 16/20 oz. The design I just drew out, they wanted extra support in the lower back so I added it. Not much to making the pattern, it's basically a really think Ranger Style Belt that's really wide.
