Wide Belt

[Hedgehog]

Just finished my first belt

A bit of a Saami influence without the bling...

Ta.

I really like the look of those Saami belts but felt put off by all the little bits as they always looked a little "busy" to my eye. Your take is gorgeous though, everything I'd want with nothing I wouldn't. I may have to give one of these a go myself, what thickness leather did you use?

 

[Brown Bear]

Very nice. I think batman had something similar.

 

[Klenchblaize]

Very nice and expect lots of enquires about your wool shirt!

Cheers

Nice one Pete, ill fondle it at the end of the month........ and the belt lol

 

[phill_ue]

Are those trousers made from wool? If so, please tell where you got them from!

 

[MickeS]

A very good looking belt! Nicely matched with the knives and pouch too.

Where did you buy the dark grommets?

 

[BorderReiver]

Now that I like.

Top job mate - that is one cracking belt!!!

......as others have mentioned a traditional saami belt is too bling for my tastes but this hits all the right buttons for me!

[Biker]

That's it! That's my next project.

Stunning stuff Pete....:You_Rock_

Belter!

 

[maddave]

Lovely functional piece !

 

[Hedgehog]

Many thanks everone.

MickeS - you inspired me to make this, I got the grommets from a local sewing & material shop. They can be found on line too though.

phill_ue - as Chris said - Swedish Army wool trousers. I got these from a US fleabay shop called Suzi's Surplus (even came with package contents marked as used pants, the lasses in the office had a field day!)

Klenchblaize - Got the shirt second hand, it's made by Woolrich.

All the best.

...what thickness leather did you use?

This was 3.5-4mm veg tan shoulder from Leprevo.

 

[PRKL]

Can i have it please ?

Actually,youve dome something droolable:You_Rock_,by combining some sort of subdued,stylish belt into rudded and useful traditional sami belt,really creative stuff and above that,useful.

you can have my pinky toe for that,sir.


Great job indeed.
