The Lined Leather Belt
$100.00
These are lined leather belts, made to order. They're smooth inside and out. This makes a cleaner, crisper look as well as improving durability, lessening stretch, and adds the ability to stamp the inside. The layers are bonded and then stitched together with a heavy bonded nylon thread that will last forever.
Ever notice how belts start out fitting great but then stretch and fit terrible after a while? Ever had a belt tear? That's because most belts bought at those big-box style stores are made from "Genuine Leather". This is the lowest grade of leather. It's cheap!
The belts I make are the highest grade leather I can find. Usually cut from the "bend" of the hide, near the back. This is the toughest leather out there and is usually reserved for items where strict tolerances must be observed like belts and holsters. A little stretch is inevitable, but you'll be able to tell the difference right away.
The buckle will be a basic heel-bar style. Buckles are held down with Chicago Screws so they can be changed out later if you want.
Overall thickness of the belt will be 8-10 ounces (about 3/16"), width is 1.5" wide (1.25" also available). This is thick enough to be durable but thin enough to be comfortable for everyday wear.
I will stamp the inside of the belt with a custom message using 1/2" tall letters up to 15 characters for free.
Please look at the belt sizing guide in the pictures. This is how I will measure and cut your belt. It is up to you to give me correct measurements!!! Your pant size is not the same as your belt size.
As always, shipping is free.
No refunds or exchanges on custom orders. Please message me with belt length and color preference.

Care instructions
Leather lasts forever if it's cared for. Vegetable tanned leather needs a little oil (olive oil or neatsfoot oil are best) everyone once in a while. For normal wear items, once a year will do. Oil tanned and chrome tanned leather won't take oil or water, just treat them nice and they'll do the same for you.
Will I make a bunch of something and not put my makers stamp on it?
I don't think so, scooter. Nice try.
What's the difference between chrome-tanned and vegetable-tanned leather?
Vegetable tanned leather has been around for centuries. The hides are tanned in a mix of leaf (usually oak) and acorn extracts. The process takes well over a month to achieve a tannage. The resulting leather is tough, stiff, and will accept water for stamping and dying. Some leathers (latigo, bridle, etc) are vegetable tanned leathers that are then infused with waxes and fats to make them have certain qualities.
Chrome tanned leather what most of the leather in the world is. It takes only a few days to achieve a leather that is soft, pliable, and smells fantastic. It's not very durable, however, and cannot take water to be stamped or carved. It's also mildly caustic. It's generally much cheaper since it takes less time to make.
Why is leather thickness measured in ounces?
When we're talking leather "ounces", we mean how many ounces a 1 square foot piece of that leather weighs. The thicker the leather, the heavier it will be. Once ounce of leather is 1/64th of an inch. 8 ounces is 1/8th of an inch. Usually leather weights are given a range (7-8 ounces, for example) since it's a natural product and some slight variation is to be expected.
