Davm Report post Posted November 15, 2018 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mattsbagger Report post Posted November 15, 2018 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) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davm Report post Posted November 20, 2018 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JLSleather Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Yup - 4 or 5 oz veg liner and you'll be all fixed up, more than "firm" enough to keep it from "rolling". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrk Report post Posted November 20, 2018 4/5oz is good to go as minimum. JLS's right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
