Western Belt Lining question

Recommended Posts

Was told by a leather worker friend of mine to make the inner liner on a western gun belt rough side out so that it will not slip when worn?  All that I have seen has been grain side out.

Any comments for or against this theory?

Smooth (grain) side out generally has a nicer, finished look about it but some do use rough-side-out for the very reason you mentioned (to try and improve the belt's grip). Whether it makes a huge difference I don't know (I've done both) as over time the rough side will slowly wear smoother anyway.

Line with suede and you will have a non slip belt.  It will also look very nice.
