If you are going to build a Ranger Belt, well, you are about to build one of the most beautiful and functional belts extant! Yes, you can do it and do it in style!
I am going to cover the basic theory needed to properly approach many of the aspects of understanding the dimensions, design and construction of a traditional Ranger Belt. I hope you find this interesting and as helpful as many of the kind videos that I watched over the years here at KZfaq.
1. How to scale the front Billets to the back belt on a Ranger.
2. How to determine the true length of the front billets, both the top belt billet and buckle billet.
3. How to terminate the buckle without adding a 5th layer.
4. How to determine the placement of the loops, both the top belt loops, and the single rear.
5. How to avoid extra chicago scews, snaps, rivets or stitches.
6. How to properly go about making your own custom billet pattern.
7. Four of the 5 leather models to make, the 5th is the belt tip master, that you can do easily
8. How to approach the back of the belt with a 3rd billet for strength and beauty.
9. How balance is the key to make a truly beautiful Ranger Belt.
If you enjoyed this video, please let me know with a thumbs up and a kind note and I will cover other topics. There is a good deal of material out there and I will need to know if this is helpful to folks.

I like the belt. You did a good job of explaining how you designed it. If you stay in leather work, you have a great future. I hope to see more of your work. Thanks for the video.

Great video. Absolutely keep doing videos on Ranger belts. Show how to make the patterns. Show the build process. Before I try to make this particular style of Ranger (which I really like) I need to know if it will carry a gun. It appears that it will, but can you demonstrate that it will? Where did you get your hardware? What brand of leather do you work with? Thanks.

Chris, The question on its use for holding a holster depends on so many variables. If it can have on a belt, then it would. Hardware shown was a sterling silver set sold by a master engraver at the Colt Firearm factory many years ago. Vegetable tanned 9 oz is shown here, that is a good leather for stamping as well. You will have to dye it yourself though. Start sketching out patterns on a sheet of blank paper until you make one that you like. That process will help you get control over your ideas, your hands and your mind. It starts with you fitting the pattern on a belt blank. You can do this.

what is the benefit of having layers of leathers at the front? It seems so overkilled to me since I am an urban cowboy. One of the great sadness of owning a nice belt is weight gain.

The reason that Ranger belts came about was to allow for the "under layer" in the front. Ranger belts were an over-belt, in other words they went over your regular belt, very much like a gun belt that you put on OVER everything else. Ranger belts were top belts for working Texas Rangers and they wanted the front of the belt to properly distribute weight across the full front facing. We see them with pistols, knives, cuffs, etc. etc. They accomplished this by building the buckle system on top of an undisturbed bottom layer that wraps across the full front....across all the person's normal under belt buckle etc. etc. etc.

There are a great number of sources for leather. All the usual places like EBAY, but I want to speak to people about the leather for a project like this. I went to Montana Leather.
