bikermutt07 Posted December 4, 2018 Report Posted December 4, 2018 Well done, Sir. 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.

We have an archeologist who consulted on this project. Thanks, I've been researching a bit and figure that a lot of leather armor actually was made the same way as the metal scale armor. (Especially in the Asian cultures.) So this piece is looking real good. Edited December 4, 2018 by robs456 Quote Instagram: rob5leather

Ours is modified from what we know about historically because I have a stitcher. Traditionally they have been riveted or laced on to minimize the amount of work and time required to build them.

Members Doomgiver13 Posted December 4, 2018 Members Report Posted December 4, 2018 Amazing work! I aspire to armor at some point and this is a darn good reason why. Quote
