BWA Custom Belts
Member
Hey Forum Members,
I wanted to take a moment and introduce myself to the members. I am an owner of a small, veteran owned, part time business. I specialize in custom made "Amish Style" leather gun belts.
I served in the military for 26 years and am currently employed with the local Sheriff's Office working in Uniform Patrol. Several years ago, I became interested in forging knife blades. While pursuing knife making as a hobby, I eventually started making sheaths for my blades. I noticed that I enjoyed working with the leather side of the hobby versus the metal side. Fast forward 5 years later and I finally have a house with the room for a shop.
Several months ago, I was wearing 511 pants with a regular leather belt. I had my holster and Glock 17 on my right side. I noticed the belt was twisting and the amount of play I had when I drew the weapon prior to aiming and shooting was horrible. Those issues made me realize I needed something better than the belt I was currently wearing. I started researching the issue and discovered there are belts, besides the rigger style I have from the military, that are designed for those problems I experienced. Due to having some leather working experience, I figured I could make a double layer leather gun belt by hand.
I started making gun belts for family members and close friends of mine. The learning curve was extremely steep and costly, but well worth it. The response to my gun belts have been positive. After several acquaintances and friends offered to purchase my product, I bit the bullet and started selling them.
I was a member on this forum prior to starting the name of BWA Custom Belts (wassomeoneelse).
I specialize in custom handmade leather gun belts. I glue and sew two layers of premium 7-9 ounce layers of leather together. When joined together this around a quarter inch thick. This is the ideal thickness in the thickness of the best gun belts because it is thick and sturdy and yet also flexible enough to conform to the shape of your waist. The belt is 1 and 1/2 inch wide.
If your interested in speaking with me concerning a gun belt, please contact me via pm or cell phone 225-892-8117.
