Belt

Can some help with the best place or way to get an officer belt?

There are a few different ways to make the belt. The most common method uses the 2" wide belt blank and the rectangular buckle blank found at Tandy Leather. This is how I went about making my belt. If you don't have a Tandy near where you live, these items can be ordered off their website.http://www.tandyleather.com/en/
Items Needed -
- Tandy # 44518-00 Natural Cowhide Belt Blank 2"
- Tandy # 11688-00 Rectangle Buckle Blank 2"
- Tandy # 3003-00 Mini Punch Set
- Tandy # 3445-00 Wool Daubers

Thats really helpful thanks. And what about the buckle? Like a good metal one or something similar.

[LuciousTalvloinne]

Tandy Leather sells blanks for hte belt. You would just need to mount the greeblie on top.

pardon my ignorance but i never understood what a greeblie exactly was

[Sascha_Wilsing]

A greeblie is a smal piece that is added to add some depth to the costume.
In Case of the belt buckle it is the discs in the center of the buckle.

makes sense now, thanks for clearing that up for me

would either of these work http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/ ... her-strips or this http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/ ... ide-strips
and would this work for the buckle http://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/ ... 3-4-4-4-cm the size is what Im not sure about

[LuciousTalvloinne]

The only difference in the hides is one has been dyed for you. You will need 2 inch width then cut in grooves on top and bottom to replicate the costume. The buckle you will need to have the 2 inch size.
