Here's what I call my 'work belt', it's the one I normally wear when I'm clearing heavy brush and what-not. I made it about twenty years ago, the jacket is one I made back in 85.

Nice rig and jacket pard, just goes to show you that well kept leather will last almost as long you would like it to, you're lucky to have property that you can wear your stuff and enjoy it, thanks for the look see, and sharing with us.

Very cool. I like seeing working leather pards have made and still use. You can wear those proudly. Thanks for the pics.

Thanks for the kind words, folks! I live in the sticks, so, nobody thinks much about you working your property heeled. Got more to post, just trying to get around to taking the pics.

Drayton you must have did some really good work for it to be in that shape. Very nice work. Thanks for showing. KT

Very nicely done! Has a real old time look to it. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The holster is for my cutdown Remmy. What I usually do for a belt I'm going to use a lot is work it over with a paste of beeswax and Neatsfoot oil. I work it in as well as possible, it darkens the leather quite a bit, but it makes it a bit more supple and protects pretty well from water.
