Quote:That's not actually what I'm talking about, it's more to do with the leather being more prone to wear and tear because of the way the holes are made. However, the support from the brass might negate that, unlike a normal belt. All of the tips and techniques I've read about making holes in leather advises an awl or a blade to keep the grain intact and reduce the chance of tearing.
And that's totally true if you look at small scale, so I would also always advice to don't drill in leather, and use a awl instead. It's definatelly better for the leather in general.
