Eaglestroker Report post Posted July 18, 2015 Thought a few of you might like seeing this. Maverick had some nice chocolate colored shark at a good price so I scooped up a side hoping for a use. Here it's seen over Havana W&C skirting for a nice contrast. The belt is a plastic lined 1.75' with a brace of mag pouches to finish it off. Final finish is angelus acrylic. The customer is a semi-local LEO customer and got me in good graces with the sheriff for a few more orders. Critiques and comments welcome as always.

chiefjason Report post Posted July 20, 2015 The only thing wrong is I usually come here to get away from talk of sharks. At least that shark can't bite anyone now. lol Nice work. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
longtooth Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Very nice like the double stitched belt. Would you mind explaining the plastic linning. Also, the brace on the belt for the mag pouches. Once again awesome work.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglestroker Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Very nice!!! Thank you sir. At first glance it looks beautiful. Give me a couple days. Might find something wrong. Thanks Red! The only thing wrong is I usually come here to get away from talk of sharks. At least that shark can't bite anyone now. lol Nice work. Sorry for chuckling at your expense Jason! Very nice like the double stitched belt. Would you mind explaining the plastic linning. Also, the brace on the belt for the mag pouches. Once again awesome work.. Hey LT, some folks use banding of the metal or plastic variety. I line them with pipe hanger getting good results. Brace is just a fancy way of saying pair.

Leather isn't science most of the time just a lot of experience! I know what a pipe cleaner is as back in the day 40 years ago we passed a few pipes around, but a pipe hanger? O n S I'm sure there are a lot of different terminologies for the strap, like so: http://www.amazon.com/Oatey-33925-Plastic-Bagged-25-Feet/dp/B000MIUCG2/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437743934&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=plastic+pipe+hangar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Bear Haraldsson Report post Posted July 24, 2015 Ah-ha! I know that stuff! I always heard it called plumber's tape. Hey, is that why the belt-buckle holes are so close together? They match with the holes in the hanger (tape)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eaglestroker Report post Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Red, the holes in the hanger are roughly half inch, I space belt holes at 3/4" for more adjustment. Some folks do it at 1", just personal preference. The plastic starts about 6" from the buckle fold and ends roughly 1" from the first hole.
