BRIDLE LEATHER BELT

Making bridle leather belts

These are 5.5mm thick belt leather.

These are two belts that have yet to be processed, such as polishing the backside and trimming the edges.

The white mold-like thing on the surface of the bridle leather is called bloom and is wax seeping out.

I think this bridle leather is a special material among leathers.

It is tanned in a way that is different from other leathers.

Even though it is thick and hard, wax, fish oil, vegetable tannins, animal oil, etc. are firmly soaked into the core.

This leather was tanned carefully over a long period of time.

It is difficult to thin this thick bridle leather with a leather skiving machine (lol).

It's hard, and the wax makes it slippery.

Even in the thinnest places, it is about 5.2mm thick.

Now.

We'll thin it little by little with a leather skiving machine.

We'll use the leather cut off from the belt to make parts to attach the buckle.

We'll thin it down to 2.6mm in the end.

We'll polish the back of the thinned parts, cut them to fit the pattern, and drill holes.

We'll then polish the edges, engrave them, and we're done.

In the end, there will be four holes.

We'll drill the remaining holes after deciding where to attach them to the belt.

The belt itself will be finished with its current thickness.

We'll use Gosukeya Leather's polishing liquid to polish the toko and edge surfaces.

We mixed two types of polishing liquid, one sticky and one slippery, and diluted it with water to process the toko surface.

We used only the sticky liquid to process the edge surface.

We'll also finish off the edges and polish the toko surface.

One of the two belts I made this time was requested by the owner of a barber shop that my friend frequents. I asked the person who would actually use the belt to come in and cut off the excess length to fit the waist and drill holes. Then I put the parts together, attached the buckle, and finished the job. I will keep the remaining one untouched. I also use this bridle leather belt. It's no exaggeration to say that bridle leather is made for belts. Once you use this belt, you won't be able to use any other leather belt. lol Finally, I cleaned off the wax from the bridle leather that had accumulated on the blade of the leather skiving machine and applied a thin layer of tacker oil to the blade. That's it! Let's go to a good old disco today~
