Here are 2 new belts made out of 9-10oz stitched all the way around with heavy duty #346 thread. I tried to avoid bulking up the buckle end by setting the buckle in place using 2 small steel tabs . Comments are welcomed .

Thanks !

Nice belts, nice stitching, and nice loops. I can see you take care to make a nice product so I have to ask, why did you leave the edges in that shape? Seems to me a little more work and you'll have a top notch belt.

On light color belts I usually don't finish the edges...just a matter of personal preference . On the black I got the edges finished properly.

I agree, not finishing the edges makes it look as though you were in a hurry. I'm a rank amateur at this stuff, but I've found that people were very impressed when they saw finished edges on the (three) gunbelts I made. They asked how on earth I did it!

Who did you get the buckles from, they look great. Nice job.

The buckles are from a leather shop here that makes belts amongst other things, for few brand names out there. They bring most of their hardware from Italy in large quantities...The owner doesn't mind selling me once in a while buckles or other hardware that I might be interested in
