Bandolier SINGLe PLY,2 ROW SASH style, 3.25" deals Wide, for HANDGuNS Only, 22 rim,22 mag,32,38, 357, 45LC, Oil Treated, Blk, Russet and Dk Brn
Leather 2 ROW Bandolier SASH style for HANDGUNS Only, 22 rim,22 mag,32,38, 357, 45LC... Oil Treated, Black, Russet and Dk Brn
2 ROW STYLE:
The Belt shown in the pictures was for .22 Magnum cartridges. A little longer casing and was made with 3-1/4" wide leather with 2 rows of loops. 90 on the front and 90 in the back for a total of 180 .22 cal size ammunition.
As it worked out, there was enough room to put all 180 on with none on the shoulder.
The 2 Row Style will apply to most of the small handgun sizes. 22, 25, 32, 9mm, 38..... all others may require some quick figuring to see how many will fit.
The price for the Belt includes the width of the leather and the number of loops.
To install 180 of hand sewn loops, (with care with an air powered sewing machine) takes several hours.
In addition, the Amish craftsman has a little book with all of the dimensions for the loops. Each cartridge size has a different length of loop to make sure they are tight and stay in place. He measures the distances with a divider and scratch awl to use as a guide when sewing.

MAKE SURE ITS NOT TOO LONG or SHORT:
We would like to suggest that you take a string or piece of rope and measure from your hip up across your chest and over your opposite shoulder, down across the back and over to the same hip.
This will take into account your height and girth for us to get a good fit.
========================
STANDARD LOOPS:
The STANDARD number of Loops for the Bandolier is 60 BRASS CARTRIDGES and is about 70" long from end to end.
==================================
NEW SASH STYLE:
This new Style will lay flatter on the hip.
Instead of using a buckle we can sew the ends of the Bandolier together at a 30 degree angle so that you get a more comfortable fit.

CUSTOM MADE:
To make the custom belts we deals would like to suggest that you take a string or piece of rope and drape it over your shoulder and across your chest and down to your hip to see what length you need.
This will take into account your height and girth for us to get a good fit.
We don't want the buckle to be down to your knees just to add all the loops. :)
================================
COLORS:
Can be ordered in either Natural Oil Dipped, Black, Dark Brown or Russet leather. See Options list.
The oil dipped natural leather is a cream color to start. The oil darkens it and will get lighter as the oil dries. We recommend a periodic coat of saddle oil.
NATURAL COLOR LEATHER: (Oil Dipped)
Normally is a cream to beige color after its been cured and processed. After we make your Bandolier we dip it into bath of Saddle Oil. That gives it the rich brown color.
The natural color of the leather, with the oil, will lighten in time will need to be retreated.
BLACK, RUSSET AND DARK BROWN:
These high quality and more expensive leathers that can be kept soft with an application of Leather or Saddle Oil.

SHIPPING:
Because of the length of the belt and number of cartridge loops, the shipping cost is a little more than the work or dress belts. We have tried coiling up the Bandolier belts and it will not fit into the the Padded Flat Rate Envelope. So it goes into the Regional Box category. Normally 1 Bandolier belt will fit into a Regional "A" box.
We expect the shipping time on these custom made items to be 1 to 2 weeks.
We will combine orders/items and credit the difference back to your account. For instance if you order more than one bandolier we can combine them into a larger cheaper carton selection and then credit back the excess shipping.
RETURNS:
