A LITTLE ON THE MANUFACTURING of the 2 PLY:
When we receive your order an Amish Craftsman will hand cut the hide with a draw knife. He will slightly oversize the cut and then run it through a hydraulic or air powered machine to trim and round the edges.
A separate piece of the same leather, Top Grain, is cut to form the underside of the belt. Both pieces are thinned on a manual tool to obtain the "top grain". So both sides now have a strong Top Grain leather to form the 2-Ply thickness.
All pieces are joined by hand stitching on an Air powered sewing machine. And then trimmed to size around the edges and pointed. Then the belt is ready for hand dying the edges.
The holes are punched and a coat of belt polish is added to finish the piece.
The Buckle is fastened into place using a "Chicago" screw. This a flat screw that will allow the buckle to be removed if necessary.
In addition to the hand cutting of the leather, 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 the Cartridges are tight and stay in place. He measures the distances with a divider and makes a small line with a scratch awl to use as a guide when sewing.
The cartridge loops are sewn into place with care given to the size of the cartridge so that they fit tight. Some force might be required to expand the loop for the first time.

MORE LOOPS:
In the past we have had many questions about putting more Loops on for various sized cartridges.
Typically we add (60) loops for the larger shotgun sizes. (12, 16, 20, 28). We can put more of the smaller sizes on though. Please see the EXCEPTIONS List below to see if more will really fit.
Some of you have noticed that we are in the middle of a revision to the listing.
We think we now have a correction worked out.
If you want one of the EXCEPTIONS that are listed below, then we will need to make a custom length for you so that we can add more loops.
********
For instance, if you wanted 90 loops put on for the 500 S&W, we would need to make it longer. We would also need to quote a price for the additional leather involved and for the extra Loops.
If you happen to be over 6 ft in height and want the belt to hit around the hip area, the added custom length would come in handy.
Please Email for special sizing.
===========================
CUSTOM MADE:
To make the custom belts for one of the EXCEPTIONS, we 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 belt to be down to your knees just to add all the loops. :)

=======================================
Don't Forget. Top Grain solid leather. No scraps.
All of our belts feature NO scraps or pressed leather and no layering of plastic or synthetic sewn on to meet the requirement to be able to call it "real leather".
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.
If the shipping seems excessive 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:
No returns on these Custom made items
