not answering for the other gent some of my experiences,  Try using stainless that is super stiff and if not placed precisely in place you blow the whole project, but with Kydex it is much better either 090 or125 and the good thing is that if out of line just a bit the machine can still sew it 

Thanks O&S - where do you buy your kydex in long strips?

I usually buy 24 inch long sheets from either knifekits or another source but it has been so long since I cant think o the other name, but I would try knifekits.com or Google kydez holster supplies and something should come up.  I had bought several all at the same time, I would usually use 2 pieces of 24 inch long placed in the middle then cut them down to length.  I hope that makes sense!

I'm not much of a fan of steel or kydex lined belts, . . . leather has been doing a great job for centuries all by itself.

But if I did, . . . I'd use steel strapping off pallets, . . . it comes in a 1 inch wide variety, . . . and some folks will give it to you for hauling it away.

Sew both edges and the tongue, . . . slip the steel piece in like putting a knife into a sheath, . . . sew the buckle end closed, . . . voila, . . . done.

May God bless,
