Members Dwight Posted January 16, 2021 Members Report Posted January 16, 2021 There is a guy who hits our county fair . . . all his belts are about 50 inches long. He measures you . . . cuts the end off the belt you chose . . . punches 5 holes in it and he's done. They're generic belts . . . all pressed, none stamped . . . but the would-be wranglers lap em up like candy. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com
Members jcuk Posted January 16, 2021 Members Report Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Whenever i get a request for belt that's going to be a gift and get i think their waist size 28'' which happened just before Christmas, My rule of thumb is i take the one waist/belt size i know to be right my own 30'' so then i deduct or add inches either way seems to work out ok cant honestly say they all hit the centre hole but as long as long as you don't hit the first two holes or last hole straight away i find they should and most likely are happy enough with what they get i mean how many of us before we got into leather work knew about the centre hole thing and how many of us were given belts that were to large only to put more holes in them our selves before we got into leather work. The other rule of thumb to my belts is the centre of the buckle turn and first hole are both 3'' from each end. Hope this helps JCUK Edited January 16, 2021 by jcuk Quote
