Title: Suggestions for a good leather shop
Post by: 8thFA on April 25, 2016, 04:29:34 PM
Hey All,

I ordered a gun belt from Hank's a while back, cost about 50 bucks but a great product.  Of course I got it oversize to accommodate my IWB holster and mag carrier.  My problem is I also have lost 25 pounds since the first of the year.

So now the belt is too long and I'm at the tightest hole (while packing), with more weight yet to lose.  I could add a hole or two myself and trim off the belt tip, but I don't want to ruin the belt.

Anyone have suggestions for someone who could do that for me reasonably in the new castle county area?  I'm just afraid that if I cut the tip off myself, I may ruin the belt.

Thoughts?

Not sure about NCC, but in Kent there is Paynes Leather in Felton.  Does great work!  Been in business for decades. Fast turn-around.

I'll just add a Congratulation on the weight loss.. Something I know many with they could do but don't.

Thanks!  In fact, knowing my permit was coming and I needed room in my 38 and 40 inch pants for my XDM and holster gave me just the extra motivation I needed to keep on going.

For me it is Paynes in Felton. Eric and Carol do a great job and I have been using them for years. Good work and very fair prices.

Went to AGN leather in the NCC farmers market today, the owner trimmed my belt and added a hole, and did it for free.  He's a great guy, looks like he has some pretty sturdy belts there as well.
