How do I go about making belts?

Recommended Posts

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?

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.
