Double layer belts???

I read a post some time ago where the poster stopped the lining just before the end of the buckle flap.  Couldn't find it with my searches though.  This will give you the same, or nearly the same thickness for the whole belt, and reduces the bulk around the buckle and keeper.

Thank you so much for the pictures.  It makes it stand out much clearer in my mind.  I glued a belt up today.  I stopped prior to the snaps.  It was a precut belt.  I will start on sewing it by hand tomorrow.  Thanks for all the replies.

There are a lot of Kydex holster makers out there jumping on the bandwagon for leather belts, as well as leather workers.  I am a member of the USCCA for the insurance that they they offer to concealed carriers and in the publication are several adds for makers that offer belts, one is bigfoot gunbelts, they offer a stainless steel lined belt if you look them up you'll see that they offer their belt with complete straps from one end to the other.  Now as mentioned above the ends do need to be skived down so as to not bulge and also be able to fit under the keeper when done. The above maker is just one of many as I mentioned but I have also been asked if I offer the belts with either a Kydex or metal liner so I am in the process of offering both, it does take a little more time to work with, and you also need to find a price point that will let you remain competitive in the market.  There is another maker that comes to mind when thinking about hybrid holster and belts and that is Aliengear, they came on the market a few years ago and have grown considerably in a few years and also offer the belts.  It never hurts to look at what others are doing to know what is going on in the market place until you can develop a niche of your own.

Guess both those "companies" order there belts from the same place and have there logo added to it.
