I found this old buckle (30 yrs?) in the back of a drawer in my desk, so decided to actually make a belt for myself! Black bridle leather, custom buckle, sewn on CB4500.

The buckle was made by a machinist at GM in Lansing, Michigan. There were a few of us in the area building airplanes so he made some buckles with our planes on them.

Nice vintage buckle Jeff!  Bridle leather 2 layers or just one?

Just one. Any thinner and I would have added a liner, but this stuff is fairly stiff anyway.

Nice job on both the belt and the RV4. I like the pant job too!
