Hi Romans,
I am back with a puzzle.
After producing thousands of belts, for the first time we have been told that the belts need to be constructed using split leather sandwiched together, with stitching at both sides. This means, the leather becomes strong, softer, and certainly better looking.
Deepeeka has always made belts like most others with vegetable tanned whole grain leather (2.5-3mm) thick. But never stitched or sandwiched any layers. Only recently, in Tejike belts, we have started gluing a suede lining to the back, to make it look cleaner and also, not to see the fittings.
What do you suggest ?
Should we continue what we have done in the past, or should we stitch two pieces of split leather together, then do our fitting- lastly stick the third layer to the back.
