Resizing a Stitched Weightlifting Belt (Buckle End) - Start to Finish

Resizing two customer weightlifting belts from the buckle end, a more involved leatherwork job than the single ply powerlifting belt resizes we've shown before. These belts were made by Dean Best of Best Belts. Dean built some of the most respected belts in the industry for years and he was very helpful to me when I was starting out. This is not a job we do frequently. But, it was hard to turn down the opportunity to breath new life into these well-constructed belts. When our customer sent these in for a resize, it wasn't just another repair. It was a chance to do right by a belt built by someone who helped me get here.
