Making a 13th-14th century leather belt
Sir James A:
Complete thought here, with no historical basis, but I think that the sword belt is put on first, and the thin belt that cinches the surcoat is also "over top" of the sword belt, or possibly laced through it on the rear, so that it keeps the sword belt from completely falling.
Sir Wolf:
gun slingers kept their pistols as far down on the hip/leg as possible.
now kids do that for their wallets lol
Aiden of Oreland:
Wow! Great info! And very easy to follow I must say. Since it seems that these places for the pewter stuff will take a month or two to get to me I may have to order now so when I am ready to make it I'll already have the parts. At first I too thought that the two belts were connected. I do know (even if this is a bad source) that a lot of places sell the two connected. Wait, is that not what a double wrap belt is? I am sure that a double wrap existed during the 13th century. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Sir James A:
Double wrap belts are the same diameter. Not the same as on these effigies.
