Domed Belt Advice
Im looking to create a domed belt but don't know the full construction in order to achieve said belt.
From what im assuming its a domed filler of some sort ie plastic domed strips or cardboard of some sort unless im completely wrong.
Could someone shed some light on this.
Much appreciated.

Hi Gavin. For handmade belts, the most popular filler for a raised centre section is going to be a strip of vegetable tanned leather, and some kind of synthetic non-stretch fabric backing. On very cheap belts you may see cardboard or rubber, but I wouldn't recommend it for durability reasons. Some also use bonded leatherboard, which can cut costs if bought in bulk.
