10/11 HO craftsman for everything but the bullet loops (4/5) and keepers (7/8). Fiebings dye, healthy amounts of NF oil, some Aussie Wax and a little glycerin saddle soap to shine it up a little. 

Thanks for looking and have a good day folks! 

Josh

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

Yeah what dikman said. 

I have to say though, I really like the look.  It's very clean looking with only the border creases and terminating seed stamp. The color and finish fits if perfectly. Looks like it came right out of Packing Iron, and reminds me of something that The Duke would have worn. I also like the long 7 hole tongue billet, makes for extra adjustment as one grows or shrinks. Once again my hat is off to you.

Off topic: Josh, do you ever line your belts or holsters?

Thanks again guys! The guy wanted plain, so I made it plain! Its funny, but I swear it almost seems harder to pull off plain and clean than tooled up fancy. There is certainly more time investment in tooled, but there is also more to pull your eye away from the little mistakes that always come up. 

Remington, I do sometimes line both belts and holsters although not that often. Back before I had a sewing machine I purposefully avoided lined belts as they were so time consuming to stitch up. But, now that I have a machine I don't rally try top avoid them that I'm aware of. On my own stuff and the items I make for gifts I rarely, maybe even never, line cartridge belts, I'm not sure why. I do however always line belts for concealed carry use. 

Have a great day folks! 

Josh
