I have taken to backing my belt with leather. Here are my reasons: 
 
1. Evidence of belts found from the medieval period show they were made of two pieces of leather fastened together, much like a woman's belt today. 
 
2. The leather backing keeps the belt from sliding down a segmentata. 
 
3. The leather prevents rivet shear and loss of plates.
