Looking forward to part 2! Never trust pant sizes for your belt. Fashion companies lie. Always measure!

This has to be the best belt video on RU-vid!! Thanks, Chuck!

I made the measuring belt and then used it to get the size for my brotherinlaw. (Funny...He said the measuring belt was wrong) I made a belt for him and it fit perfectly! Thanks Chuck!

@bhepburn1344 3 года назад

Chuck thank you so much for this. Your phrase “the belt never lies” inspired me to make my own sizing belt. Keep up the good work.

@WeaverLeatherSupply 3 года назад

Great to hear, thank you!

Belts are amazing beginner projects as they can be as simple or as detailed as you want to make it. I've been wearing my first belt for well over 2 years now and it's still going strong, but with the knowledge I've gained in that time, I'm starting work on my second!

@WeaverLeatherSupply 3 года назад

Totally agree!

My friend recently had a weight loss surgery, and I told him when he's done losing weight I'll make him a custom belt to fit his new frame :D

Loved your last series on belt making. This new series is only going to be better. I love making belts and sell them to help a charity. 👍

Thank you, Bradley! What a great cause!

Watching this made me remember a time where I wouldn't fit in a xl now I'm firmly a medium.

Love the double prong buckle. Please consider doing a video on making a belt like the one you have in the video with a double prong buckle.

You are such an inspiration. Thanks.

@wilsonmiller1903 3 года назад

Great video, I’m new to leather craft and belts aren’t that difficult so I’m looking forward to see the part two

@szilvah497 3 года назад

This is so useful. I sell clothing online. The reason why it is hard to tell what exact size belt we need is because each pair of pants will fit differently: Depending on the measurement of the rise of the pants they will sit on a different height of out waist. Therefore, the belt will need to adjust to each pair of our pants:o)

@darrellcollins4268 3 года назад

Chuck, could you possibly do a video on how to size for and make a ranger style belt?

@asmith7876 3 года назад

We bought our house from the neighbor, it was his family home. They were dairy farmers and we bought the last few acres of his family farm. I made him a belt with the house and barn on it, finished in a basketweave on the remainder. He told me what size he needed....should have measured! But better too long than too short, I had to cut some off but it would have saved hours of tooling with the correct measurement. He died several years later, they buried him with it. Not sure how I feel about that!

As a person who has worn “trophy style” for the last 24 years, I highly recommend a belt keeper.

@Lucky_Dandy Год назад

When do you choose to use double layers versus single layer belts? Is it for strenght or style? Wonderful belts by the way.

Idea for a leather element - female armor or to be exact the breast cups

@sheahenson2987 Год назад

I was always told you measure from the inside of the buckle where the prong lays against the buckle. Is this wrong? I have customers that wear trophy buckles that are 2”-2 1/4” from the heel bar to the prong. Am I measuring wrong?

How do you measure for a Ranger Belt? Same 9.5”?

@GWP323 3 года назад

Chuck...I have a cheap walmart all leather (100% cowhide made in India-no joke...lol) belt I bought several years ago. It's about 2" wide and has curled or warped in the middle or the middle of my back. How can I get the leather to flatten out. It's not hurting to wear it but just doesn't look nice. Thanks, George

@stephenmartin6995 3 года назад

Is the mini belt template available as a pattern?

@babetteleblanc7620 3 года назад

That’s a good idea.

@mikedeloach6849 3 года назад

Weaver has a belt end template set available: www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/item-detail/65-9679/belt-end-template-set-by/pr_59515/cp_/shop-now/kits-patterns-books/patterns/leather-templates You could use that as the starting point and customize it however you like.

@deetalashoma3514 Год назад

I had a belt that had "D" Rings on it , very adjustable. Like on a saddle. 👍❤️

@youraccount7003 3 года назад

Just made a belt for a good friend who is suffering severely with his health. His waist size goes from 45 inches to 32 inches literally overnight as he has up to 20 kg of fluid drained from his body in hospital. A month later he can be back up to 45 inches as he can put a kilo of weight on per day ( fluid). Sadly, it's going to be the last belt he wears.

@timmyandtammycoins9738 3 года назад

Hey Chuck how much is it to for you to make about size 38 to 45

a interesting video would be real vs fake leather comparison when making a belt or something

@pingpong8518 3 года назад

how can i buy your belt ? sir

@HandlebarWorkshops 3 года назад

A couple questions: Does the weight of the leather change the sizing? That is, do you need to go with a longer belt when using 8 or 9 oz leather? Also, when looking at belt blanks on the Weaver Leather website, it gives a range of weights. I assume the leather isn't uniform along the entire length of the belt blank or the side. Does any of that need to be taken into account? Thanks for the video.

@mikedeloach6849 3 года назад

Many straps sold as Belt Blanks will be 'leveled' for uniform *maximum* thickness, and variation could be found where it thins just a little. "Pre-finished" belt blanks are often leveled and the backs are plated ...and it looks like they've been through a roller to *really* make them consistent. However, a variation of 1 oz will hardly be noticeable because "1 oz" is only 1/64th of an inch. This is where buying "belt blanks" differs from buying 'strap' --- the strap may or may not be leveled, and the variation in thickness might be an issue.

@WeaverLeatherSupply 3 года назад

Hi there, Going up an once or two will change the length but not by much. It’s so little I don’t really account for it. I may add ½” if I’m going with a 10/11 oz. or heavier. The varying weight isn’t a real issue. Usually an 8/9 oz. hide will be 9 oz. on one end and 8 on the other so it’s pretty insignificant.

@hilaryayres7395 3 года назад

What leather do you recommend as I want to do some for my grandsons 👍

@WeaverLeatherSupply 3 года назад

Hi Hilary, We recommend 8-10 oz. veg tanned leather. If you're wanting something pre-dyed, our English Bridle or Water Buffalo belt blanks work great! www.weaverleathersupply.com/catalog/cp_/shop-now/leather/leather-straps-belts
