Members gigi Posted March 23, 2018 Members Report Posted March 23, 2018 I've decided to make a vegtan belt using some old Eco-Flo products for dyeing and finishing. It is machine stitched, using metric 20 polyester thread; lined with pigskin; stainless steel buckle; briar brown gel antique color; lightly oiled with neatsfoot oil; Giardini edge-paint.

alpha2 Posted March 23, 2018 Report Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Excellent! I need to do one like that. What needle did you use for that? What is the width? Edited March 23, 2018 by alpha2 Quote So much leather...so little time.
bikermutt07 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Posted March 24, 2018 Super clean! 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 gigi Posted March 24, 2018 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2018 Thank you! The belt width is 1 1/2'', made from 9 oz vegtan. Needle size: Nm 120/19 It is a 134-35 LR needle system, 'Gebedur' from Groz-Beckert. I prefer titanium coated needles because they slide better through many layers of leather, padding and glue. And they don't break as easy as the normal ones. Quote Houston, we have a problem

I think the oval holes add a real touch of professionalism to a belt.
