Howdy Gents. I'm looking for belt webbing wider than any of the sites listed in the FAQ's section have. The widest any of them seem to have is 2 inches, and I need at least 2 1/2 inches and three would be better. I want to make a shotgun belt out of the webbing with leather loops mounted on the webbing.

Years ago I went to an upholstery site looking for jute strap material for leather possibles bags.  You can get 2 1/2 inch and 3 inch  jute.  I had a roll laying around, plus some heavyweight elk and some thin cowhide strap that I bought years ago.  Decided to try and make a shotgun belt out of jute for my Wild Bunch outfit.  I have attached some photos.  I have worked with leather and all, but I am strictly "rough" on my execution.  Not fancy machine stitched, all done by hand.  It serves the purpose.
