Hi everyone! We apologize, but, there will not be a live today...Chuck is having some issues with his internet due to storms and replacement parts not being delivered on time. Head on over to the fan page for some fun instead! www.facebook.com/groups/2073833829414229/permalink…
Chuck is still having some technical difficulties so for this week's #TheLeatherElement instead of doing a video on @WeaverLeatherSupply we picked a question from one of our viewers and Chuck answered it for you! Q: Nick from Conroe, Tx asked: Is it customary to line a belt?
A: It depends. Most of the higher end belts will have a liner, but, that’s either the mark of a quality belt or it’s because the maker is using thinner (cheaper) leather and it needs to be beefed up to feel like a good belt. With an 8/9 z. leather most any weight liner will really start to thicken the belt so I tend not to line for regular belts. For “Shooters” belts or harness/safety belts it’s no issue but regular use belts can start to get stiff with additional thickness. It is really up to you. One good point is laying in a liner on a belt we dye ourselves. Dye can rub-off/bleed, so, adding an undyed leather like a veg-tan can alleviate the rub-off, but, a liner needs to be sewn in and, for crafters, that weight of machine just may be out of the budget. Hand sewing a belt can be incredibly tedious…but it looks GOOD! - Chuck
We just wanted to say thank you to everyone who's been watching and subscribing to our channel @WeaverLeatherSupply Chuck was feeling a bit under the weather last week and having some technical difficulties at the same time but we should be back with a new The Leather Element on Friday! Thanks for all the support!
