I can't help but think there may have been a couple more just like it. The handles on the sides would work great for holding the belt on a saddle horn or A-frame pack saddle..

I think there was something to that. The loops are not moulded to the suspenders like they should be but the shoulder area is well shaped and smooth ,hang the belt on one side and the rifle on the other and you have a balanced load.

I sent Deans picture to my saddle maker friend. Talked with her today and she was interested in making that belt. She don't get in a hurry about things sometimes, and she's leaving for a motorcycle rally tommorrow, sooooo, maybe by hunting season???
Anybody else want one let me know.

Let me know the cost.
Don't need that many loops, BTW. 20 or so would do.
Don't think I could lift it

Don, you need at least 48-50 loops to go around your middle without a large expanse of empty belt,

It ain't quite that big.... lol

Sometimes, "empty space" is good

Very cool I bet was made in Miles City. Looks perfect for a runner with a 2-7/8ths!

Kenny when you see it up close, the loops look like they were probably for a 44 or a 50. Yup it was made in Milestown...
Got to work on Jane.. she's got the picture.. and an order for 1 already.
