Planning Your Belt

Before cutting your Basket Weave Blank, measure a well-fitting belt and allow for your chosen buckle attachment and finished tip. The supplied strap length is not the finished wearable belt size.

Match the internal strap width of your buckle to the width of the blank. Check that your keeper and fastening hardware also accommodate the leather thickness, particularly where the buckle end folds back.

Standard or Tipped and Holed

Choose a standard blank if you want to shape the tip and position the adjustment holes yourself. The tipped and holed option reduces preparation work by providing a shaped tip and pre-punched holes. Check their positions against the intended fit before assembly.

Finishing Your Basket Weave Blank

Prepare the edges to suit your preferred finish and assemble the buckle end using an appropriate fastening method. If applying dye, conditioner or another leather finish, test it on an inconspicuous area first. Let the test dry before assessing the colour and appearance.
