New Leather Ammo Belt Run Intrest

[99centTaco]

Ok I'm finally ready to show a full completed belt. Here is my final pics and yes Nobody this ones yours. This was really unexpected. The lady that does all my stitiching was gone into the hospital and not sure when she will be getting out. So I started to hand stitch this thing. YES thats right I HAND STITCHED IT!! LOL And let me tell you it was the longest part of making this belt. Hopefully I can find the right part for my 1905 Singer Sewing Machine that will be able to do it for me by tomorrow so I don't have to hand stitch the rest. But I'm still working on the rest right now. So enjoy Nobody and your belt will ship out tomorrow.

For those that pm'd me. I know they are kinda expensive. I'm sure alot of you are wondering why. I'll try to break it down for you.

1.Each box cost around $5 to make (material, hardware, and labor.)(avg.$40 per belt)
2.Leather that is thin enough to use that has the right color every single time cost around $50 for one belt
3.It cost $10 to get on belt stitched (Or I have to hand stitch it which takes around 4-5 hours to stitch, which means I have to hand punch each hole to be able to stitch)
4. Black Suede to give the belt strap extra support and body so it won't be so thin.
5. Bag stiffiner to apply to the sides of the box to hold up the leather in place around the edges.
6. Cutting out patterns and glueing them to the box. And attaching the velcro.
7. Buying and setting Grommets, Applying leather conditoner so the belt has a long life.
8. Shipping
These are the main things that go into make one of these. Which is why this will more than likely be my first and last run of these belts. Wish I could do better but after all the parts cost, I'm really only making around $20-$25 for my labor. Depending on where its being shipped to. I only charge $10 for Outside USA shipping even though its closer to $30. I try to help with cost.

Err; mine should be ESB as well Taco :facepalm

 

[99centTaco]

don't worry it is dust room, i just had not put your snaps on it, but those are your pouches, the belt strap thats on it is Not Lewis's. Your strap is almost done and your esb sling will go out with it as well, which is already done.

 

[mixmastermace]

Just so you're aware Taco, when mine is started, I want it to be ROTJ. thanks.

 

[Notlewis]

Hmm... now I´m totally confused...:rolleyes

Don't worry Notlewis your belt is on its way already, you should be getting it soon.
