Members Windrider30 Posted February 3, 2017 Members Report Posted February 3, 2017 Will be adding better pictures tomorrow but this was a major woohoo moment. A first for a lot of things. First time doing the style of braiding, first time for making a waistcoat/vest and its finally DONE!!! took 170 to 180 feet of suede lace to do all the lacing...and there was a LOT lacing!!!!! Way to many pics so just going to throw the link for the imgur album http://imgur.com/a/MoIWL Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Posted February 3, 2017 Glad to see you finished it. It looks great. 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.

Tandy Leather sells them. Actually got really lucky with finding them as I had already designed and tooled the pockets even before I started looking for the buttons. When I and my wife say those she was said "YOU HAVE TO GET THOSE!!!" so I got those lol it all came out great and there were many firsts for me, from doing the bound button holes (never done any kind of button hole) to the Gaucho style braiding on the seams, only reason I did that was I wanted to cover up the seams and make the waistcoat stand out a little more.
