Members Alamo Posted September 4, 2016 Members Report Posted September 4, 2016 Being my first try at a Ranger Belt, I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out! About 1500 stitches went into this beast, and the three layered billets were super fun to make (and my favorite part of this build). If I could do this again, I'd skive the belt down more at the ends where they overlap, and move the stitching that attaches the billets to the belt further back as well. Not a style that I would have tried to make on my own accord, but I'm glad that I got the chance to make one! https://www.flickr.com/gp/138400355@N06/KE2Ea4 Quote www.WestEastArmory.com Fine Leather Goods Handmade with Texas Pride

bikermutt07 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Posted September 4, 2016 Really nice on the stitching and burnishing. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Members Ed in Tx Posted December 21, 2020 Members Report Posted December 21, 2020 Great job on the ranger belt. Where did you get the buckle, keepers and tip? They are a perfect contrast to the belt color. Quote
