How to Line a Leather Belt

Here is how I line all of the double layered belts that I build. I use Hermann Oak vegetable tanned leather and prefer the main body of my belts to be 9/10oz and the liner to be 3/4oz. The thickness is all personal preference but I aim for a total thickness of 12-14oz in most of the belts I make. I cut both the main body and liner of my belts from the bend section of a hide, with the butt end being on the tip of the belt. The bend section consists of the back and butt of a hide, which is ideal for belts and most other projects due to the consistency in the grain and thickness. Some people add extra materials in between the body and liner, such as poster board, an extra piece of leather, etc. which can give the belt more body and thickness. I have experimented with some of those methods and still do use an extra piece of leather in the center if I do any filigree work on a belt; however, if I am building a regular belt then I prefer to just use the two regular pieces of leather and nothing else. If I do filigree work and will be using an extra piece of leather in the center then I prefer to us 5/6oz for both the body and liner. The liner leather can be anything from regular veg tan to chrome tan leather if you desire. English Bridle is also a great choice if you want to add some luxury to the inside of the belt.
