Very interesting method. Very different from most modern repros. Of course, it helps illustrate the need for reenactors (of all periods) to look at original sources instead of slavishly replicating always the same modern repros. Thanks, Santee.
Hey Santee. Been watching for a few years now, just wanted to give you some well wishes from a former Texas boy now holed up in the middle of nowhere in Missouri. Your videos here on the Arizona Ghostriders channel has helped me more than you know in getting my old west knowledge up to snuff, and it makes for some interesting conversations with my dad. Keep up the good work!
Lacing cartridge loops, sure beats all the stitching…. Now I gotta look it up in my Packing Iron book. Thanks Santee great ideas! Have a great weekend.
The folks at River Junction are great, I’ve been making purchases since they opened many years ago. As a matter of fact, while cleaning out my re-enacting stash, I found one of their catalogs, #1 to be exact. I have been eyeing that very belt myself, looks nice and like you said a heavy leather loaded with 40 44-40 cartridges gets heavy quick! Good luck on the new job!
I just wanted to thank you for teaching people about the past, all my old west knowledge has come from you Santee. Ever since I got into learning about the old west 3 years ago I found your channel, thanks for everything, keep up the good work!
Another great video Santee! Funny story, I realized when watching it that my family and I met you at what I'm assuming is the new gig a couple of weeks ago. You seemed SO familiar to me and now I understand why! My 4 boys still talk about their cowboy friend they met in AZ. Anyway, wish I would have put two and two together so I could have told you in person how much I enjoy your content here.
These videos are over just to quickly. And thank you for sharing about your new belt you must be really happy and satisfied with that. It's nice to know that there are people out there still who take a lot of pride and putting something together. 🤠🌵
I can't believe that I missed this video. But the timing was on target. I have a holster that was made in the 1880-1890's. And no, I ain't the original owner. I was thinking about how much I need a cartridge belt for it. I have a modern made, heavy leather one. But that's not something I figure even the old cowboys would wear as it would make for an uncomfortable ride if you had a bedroll pressing that stiff leather into your spine all day. I'll look at the site of which you spoke. Thanks for always pointing us in the right direction.
I have been a customer of River Junction for years. I have never been dissatisfied with their products or service. They are my go to shop for all things Old West.
I stop in just to look over what he’s got at River Junction every time I’m in the area. It’s been a few years since I’ve been there so maybe a road trip should be required. I’ll wait until the weather warms up a little.
Hey Santee, thanks again for another great episode always enjoy your historical narrative about certain artifacts. Thank you so much for sharing have a great day.
I have the very same belt from River Junction. I like it a lot, it is very light, flexible and comfortable to wear. I used it, with a couple of River Junction holsters, as my first CAS rig, before I moved on to a dedicated CAS rig from Mernickle. I still use the River Junction rig for living history.
Santee, just fashioned a sort of cartridge belt for my wife's Ruger Police Service Six wheelgun and Henry Big Boy. Used a basic garrison belt and got a couple of Jay Pee police 18 cartridge loop sleeves on either side of the holster. Totally inauthentic for sure but it works for those firearms, Will check the link, thanks.
I've been looking for a good slim jim holster for an 1860 Colt Army, left hand. This guy's work looks really nice. I'll contact him. Your cat seems to be saying "You woke me up for this crap photo shoot? Where is my saucer of milk? Mew, mew, mew!!!"
Yep, thar, Santee. Ya dun dit it yet again! Great history on gun belts. Love River Junction products. Been wanting to get one of the hardware store belts for some time now. Siri looked real excited. Maybe it was your delivery when you told the joke to Jingles. 🤔 Good to see Ethan.
My gun belts have usually been Amish leather work belts with belt slides added for cartridges as I need them. The buckles are usually held on by what looks like rivets, but they are actually screws on the backside, so the buckle can easily be changed. Gotta have my fancy silver belt buckles with real preserved scorpions encased in them.
Awesome! I like that red leather. I got a regular red leather waist belt that was made in Mexico and is heavily embossed with flora designs. A lady in SoCal imports them and sells them. I pocket carry so I just need the belt to hold my breeches up, don't need them around my knees. Anyway, a famous Colt advertisement from the 1890s shows a ranch girl wearing a plain pistol belt and the holster itself has 6 loops for spare cartridges. I've seen an antique original version of that holster too. I can't imagine how heavy a belt would be with loops end to end! Especially a Mill's style Prairie Belt with .45-70 Government. 👍😎 .
Last week I just replaced my everyday custom leather gun belt (without loops) after 10 years. Still looks and works great, but I lost a fair amount of weight so I replaced it and got a ranger style belt. I have to say I like the leather tongue that goes under and into a loop -- it takes the pressure off the buckle and I find the belt doesn't try to roll over. Great topic. Thanks.
River Junction Trade Company = ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ , Excellent Service , Excellent Quality Products and some of the nicest folks you'll ever have the pleasure of doing business with !! .
Nice video and gunbelt Santee . River Junction is a great resource for many Old West items . I purchased a period correct Cavalry Campaign hat from them.
The cat looks a bit dejected. Wants to know why there are no cat sized T-Shirts. Good looking belt there, Santee. Nice to see the old skills still surviving
Santee l love your channel you always have great topics, this belt one is great because I have a money belt made by Collins & Morrison Omaha Nebraska that started as a pistol cartridge bud has been changed to a double loop for rifle at some point in its life , my grandfather and father used it for the krag 30 40 . I now just hang it on the wall for display.
I've been buying from River Junction for the last couple years and they are wonderful to do business with. I've bought a holster and several clothing accessories from them.
Good episode. Husband liked see others leather work. He works leather and made ours. Mine is modeled to fit my Navy Colt cap and ball with pouch. His is also a Navy Colt. But he also made a belt for a Colt Peacemaker
River Junction is great! I ordered a Matt Dillion hat from Gunsmoke and love it. I was amazed at the fit since I only provided my hat size. Highly recommended them.
Did you know that by soaking the belt leather in water and letting it dry out in the sun it will shrink the leather to tighten up the bullet loops, the whole belt itself (so you don’t have to keep punching new holes) and lighten up the weight. Afterwards use febings leather conditioner sparingly on the grain side rather than grease or neatsfoot oil. Oil and grease make leather stretchy. I enjoy your channel, I always get at least a chuckle.
They didn't ware gun belts with bullet loops on the TV show Bonanza, but when Guy Williams guest stared, he did have a gun belt with bullet loops...... Another fun fact is, in all the westerns thats been on TV in the past 70+ plus years, theres only 3 or 4 westerns that actually show someone putting bullets in the gun belt loops, the last western I seen that showed that being done was Keven Costner on 2012 Hatfields & McCoys........
Very interesting. My current gun belt has no cartridge loops mainly because I don't want to be carrying a SAA and 18 .45 Colt cartridges around my waist. That stuff gets pretty heavy. My hat's off to Roy Rogers with the two gun rig and all those bullets.
I recently purchased a cartridge belt off eBay, for my .45 LC Cattleman. I like it, but it is a tad heavy. It looks pretty good though. As always, another great video.
Enjoyed the video, thanks! May I put in a plug for my hometown gun leather maker, El Paso Saddlery Company? Their Cheyenne rig is a beautifully tooled work of art in a functional money belt style. The holster can be carried on either side giving a cross-draw option if you want to carry butt forward. I find that 24 loops are a nice compromise with weight.
Lol! Drinking during breakfast is the Cowboy way, ain't it? Hitchin' up a gunbelt with two guns, a knife, and all the cartridges when you don't have hips can be difficult. I use leather braces to hold it up.
Very interestingly informative, inspiring and awesome video, I really liked and enjoyed it. I learned a lot about different gun belts from the old west. Great job and well done, keep up the great work. I got a lot of inspiration for the old west and retrofuturism inspired story/series I’m working on writing. I’m definitely going to be adding different old West gun belts to my story alongside old west frontier attire. There’s also going to 90s and 2000s retrofuturism attire in my story as well. My story’s main character Mercia Hawkins will mostly be dressed in old west attire , well except for when he works at the main building of Gamelan investigative agency inc, where he is employed as one of the Mystery Z Files investigators. In my story Mercia is both a lawman deputy and a investigative-agent who investigates anomalous paranormal activity.
Maybe wear men braces/suspenders, most men wore them, as there weren't too many ways to keep a heavy belt up from tugging on trousers, often hidden beneath a vest or large shirt.
Another COOL, COOL video, Santee... Loved the info, demos, included video and audio clips, and pace. You're the greatest. BTW, some of us got your long, face joke.😉🤣 👏🏜🤠👏
There is a book by Herbert Asbury called The Barbary Coast. Although its technically not a western it is about San Francisco during the western expansion. It covers the gold rush era and I'm pretty sure you'll find it interesting
That is one pertty belt! Hey, I saw a very square toe boot in the video of poor poor you walking uphill with rocks…..soooo, hey sante, did cowboys have boots with the pointed toe or square toe. They seem to change with modern fashions nowadays.
Here in the Mid-Atlantic where it is quite humid leather cartridge belts and loops cause a reaction with the brass cases that turns the brass and the leather green from verdigris. Does that happen in arid climates like Arizona ?
Very interesting method. Very different from most modern repros. Of course, it helps illustrate the need for reenactors (of all periods) to look at original sources instead of slavishly replicating always the same modern repros. Thanks, Santee.
ALways good to have options.

Great video Santee! Cartridge belts are "fun" to make! I've done a couple and they turned out pretty good, but boy, are they labor intensive!
Sure are. I figured a sewing machine would knock one out much quicker
I didn't know I needed to know more about 19th century gun belts until now
There you have it.
Nice new belt you got there. Thanks for the Saturday kickoff.
Be safe out there, and take it easy man.

Oh, I probably will. I found one in the dirt last week that I think I lost in 2019.

Great video that was a beautiful belt. Wow. You really belted that one. Good thing I buckled up before watching.
I was strapped for ideas!
Absolutely beautiful belt! My next project is getting together the gun and belt for my western outfit.
Cool!

Nice! I need a new belt myself and this was some great inspiration!
Go for it!

Good.
My favorite gunbelt isn't an exact match for Bianchi Duke holster but I like how it looks faded jeans. What the hell.😊😊😊😊😊

As long as it serves the purpose!
That's cool you found a belt that fit
You haven't?
Enjoyed the video, thanks! May I put in a plug for my hometown gun leather maker, El Paso Saddlery Company? Their Cheyenne rig is a beautifully tooled work of art in a functional money belt style. The holster can be carried on either side giving a cross-draw option if you want to carry butt forward. I find that 24 loops are a nice compromise with weight.

Ok, I will trade you my Dunlop for them. The part that Dunlop over my belt!

Yup
Very interestingly informative, inspiring and awesome video, I really liked and enjoyed it.
I learned a lot about different gun belts from the old west.
Great job and well done, keep up the great work.
I got a lot of inspiration for the old west and retrofuturism inspired story/series I’m working on writing.

I wouldn't doubt it.
Great looking belt Santee. Sounds like you enjoy the new job. If so you'll never work a day in your life! 🤠

Nice looking belt my friend.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Got 'em on in the video (you can see me putting one side on)
Hey Santee been watching for about 3 years now and was wondering if you did a video on different types of houses in the old west.
I did one on houses and covered different building materials. I should do more one day...
Another COOL, COOL video, Santee...
Loved the info, demos, included video and audio clips, and pace. You're the greatest. BTW, some of us got your long, face joke.😉🤣 👏🏜🤠👏

Interesting video. I bought a holster from Etsy sometime back. Want to get a belt, for it now.
Go for it!
That is one pertty belt! Hey, I saw a very square toe boot in the video of poor poor you walking uphill with rocks…..soooo, hey sante, did cowboys have boots with the pointed toe or square toe. They seem to change with modern fashions nowadays.
Yes, square or slightly rounded were in vogue.
Interesting facts Santee nice sharing my friend
Glad you enjoyed it
Santee, I was expecting a Arkansas Toothpick instead of a Benchmade and a box from the Pony Express😁
Every time I put the Arkansas Toothpick in my jeans pocket it cuts through and into my leg.
Sometimes progress is a good thing. 😅
Here in the Mid-Atlantic where it is quite humid leather cartridge belts and loops cause a reaction with the brass cases that turns the brass and the leather green from verdigris. Does that happen in arid climates like Arizona ?
Yes. Maybe not as severe. It also only happens on the cases.
