gigi Report post 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 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gigi Report post 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.
