Shanek266 Report post Posted June 9, 2016 I would like to make some regular belts and a few gun belts. What size vegetable tanned leather do I use? Do I need a liner between layers? Where is the best place to buy vegetable tanned leather for belts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted June 10, 2016 Welcome to Leatherworker.net! You can get the VT leather for your belts at several locations- the first two that come to mind are Tandy and Springfield Leather. Since you're just starting out, I suggest using some pre-cut belt blanks. They're available in several sizes, and should serve you pretty well. Belts don't often have a "liner" between layers - the liner is another piece of leather on the back of the belt to provide a smoother interior. Please check out the "how do I do that" section for some tips on how to construct and finish the belts - there's tons of information on this site and there's usually someone around that can answer questions for you.
