Members KingsCountyLeather Posted October 22, 2017 Members Report Posted October 22, 2017 My brother had the buckel for years and asked me to make a new belt for it. Custom colour dies, Wine and Navy hand stitched using .8 tiger thread. Quote
garypl Posted October 22, 2017 Report Posted October 22, 2017 Really looks nice - stitching on both sides looks almost identical - nice job! Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
Members battlemunky Posted October 22, 2017 Members Report Posted October 22, 2017 Looks clean! Too bad about that buckle though, I've had a few of those Levis belts and the buckle is usually was goes first, stupid spring/detent. But, you can always replace the buckle if it happens! Quote
Members verus22 Posted October 22, 2017 Members Report Posted October 22, 2017 Is that the 'bishop' color on the tiger thread? It looks really nice with those dye colors! Quote "Excellence is the gradual result of always striving to do better." - Pat Riley
Members DGoutdoors Posted October 22, 2017 Members Report Posted October 22, 2017 Very Nice! What size stitching punches did you use for a belt? I want to order a set but I'm not sure what size to use for a belt. Quote
Members Mattsbagger Posted October 22, 2017 Members Report Posted October 22, 2017 I wish i could find a buckle like that. That lasts that is. Quote

Thank you! I've been trying some different styles of stitching, not too sure of what looks best yet. Quote

I want to order a set but I'm not sure what size to use for a belt. Thanks, I recently bought the Wuta 3.8mm chisels... I think the holes are too close for the belt ( I think more like the 4mm would be better ) I have to get other sizes in the future. Im thinking of a stitching wheel with different sizes would work better for me and punch through with a good awl? I have the Wuta 2 and 8 prong but the 8 prong won't go through the leather fully. Maybe it needs sharpening? Quote
