Two new leather belts fresh off my workbench

I guess these fall under the "and such" part of this sub-forum :D

I realized recently that I do not have a western-style belt that is not "store-bought" so I decided to make myself one and a plain belt to go with it both suitable for carrying a pistol. BOth belts are made from two strips of 8oz. leather tapered to 10oz total at the ends

The stamped belt is two layers of Hermann Oak natural saddle skirting. The hardware is stainless steel from Jeremiah Watt

The plain belt is one layer of Wickett and Craig russet saddle skirting lined with Herman Oak natural saddle skirting.

Very nice work indeed! Sometimes on a belt for carry I'l put 7 holes at 3/4" instead of 5 at one inch. Have ya ever tried that? I've not done it for myself yet but keep thinking I'm gonna try that. I've had multiple customers request it. Gives a guy a hair more adjustment when ya got that holster on, they say. Really like your stamping pattern. Have ya seen some of the new bronze hardware from JWP? Its pretty dang cool.
