This is certainly unique. Most belt makers if working with thick leather, will skive the folded end rather than on the main body. To retain the structural strength, and also so that when the buckle is added, it won't flop around like a limpid dickie.

If I am compelled to skive the main body (for whatever reasons), I would at least make it a point to skive the folded end as well, and then match both sides EXACTLY, so when joined, they form a uniform thickness.

But then again, the maker must have his reasons for making it this way.

Hi, firstly happy new year to all the bros!!

My younger bro, always the fashion fanatic, now wants to switch to a denim look.

Requested for some leather accessories.

Made him a wallet with rein, bracelet, and a smaller thin rein for him to hang just for looks when wearing his cloth bermudas.

For me, though I am into leathercraft, I actually don't like too much stuff hanging off me. So my personal set is much simpler.
