Thin Double Layer Belt With Nylon Center For Support

[OLDNSLOW]

Has anyone made one like this so that the leather belt is not overly thick yet has good support? And if so how were they glued together? As an example I was thinking about a 1.5 inch belt with the usual 8-9 ounce outer with maybe a 6-7 backing with the center being nylon webbing in very light weight of 1.25 thickness and double stitching. Please give your thoughts on this, I have read where kydex could crack, but the nylon will give good support yet feel like a normal double thick leather belt.

Thanks

Quite honestly, . . . I would characterize your idea as trying to repaint a rose to get a better color. Ya just don't mess with what has already been perfected.

The double layer leather belt works by itself, . . . does not need metal, nylon, mylar, kydex, or anything else to "fix" it.

Use the search button at the top right corner, . . . you'll find this has been beat up, beat down, and beat on enough times that your answer to all your questions is in there.

May God bless,

I have used cotton webbing in dog collars as an experiment.

2 layers of 38mmx1.5mm dyed through shoulder with a narrower cotton strap in between.

Glued using contact cement. Worked great, no distortion.

That said if I had 3mm or thicker leather to use I would of just used that.
