TheSweatshop’s Episode 3 Obi-Wan Belt

[The Sweatshop]

Rushed to get this done for today! May the Force be with you, always.
Mostly used references from the past exhibits and attempted to make a belt exactly like the screen used one. Many belts on the market seem to overproduce the belt. It’s much rougher around the edges in terms of leatherwork.
Started with

creeping up on the color with dye oil and sunlight

Took about three tries till I got the desired color.

Let me know what you think.

Very nice. What are the suede discs for? Ive done a lot of leather work and never seen those. Did you use oil dye?

I’m working out of my mentors holster shop, he made those, they are just weights to hold down the leather. Used dark brown and black oil dye mixture.
