Cartridge Belt Liner

Recommended Posts

I want to make a western style cartridge belt with sewn on bullet loops and to stiffen the belt a little I thought a liner would be a good idea.  My problem is a similar thickness of leather would make the belt too thick.  Suede seems to pick up dirt and dust.  I think what I need is just a lighter weight oak tanned leather.  Any suggestions appreciated.

Yep just get a 3 oz or 5 oz and sew in last after the loops. (Not knowing what size you are making the main body from)

Pretty heavy, I'd say about 9 oz give or take 1 oz in either direction.  BUT this is for real world use so I want something substantial.

Yup - 4 or 5 oz veg liner and you'll be all fixed up, more than "firm" enough to keep it from "rolling".

4/5oz is good to go as minimum.
JLS's right ;)
