Thank you for the kind words! I'm trying to make this as high quality as I can. And Jamie, your buckle speaks for itself :thumbsup

It's all looking awesome! Agreed on Jamie's buckle, I got one not too long ago and it is flawless.

Question: how did you get the "line" indented along the edges of the belt? Is there a leather tool for that?

Re: Captain America: TFA Belt and Holster Rig - How to Display?

There is, it's called an "adjustable groover". It allows you to determine how much inset you want the groove to be, and then you just run it along the edge of the leather as a guide.

Got my leather in yesterday, so I cut out all the necessary pieces to redo. Also thought I would try my hand at the chest pouches too!

Big thanks to Minakolabelle for the pattern!

The pattern helped quite a bit, thanks :thumbsup

Finished one of the pouches up tonight

Just need to sew the belt loops to the back, and then finish the second

Re: Captain America: TFA Belt and Holster Rig - How to Display?

Finished up the chest pouches and belt today

All that is left to do is stitch one more belt pouch together and I'm calling this one done!

 

[Kevin Gossett]

Re: Captain America: TFA Belt and Holster Rig - How to Display?

One small, tiny little detail piece left to finish--the L bracket on the back of the belt. Once that is done, this is complete!

Nice work Kevin!! I'm a few steps behind you in my leather work but I hope it turns out half as good as you've displayed here. Awesome man
