The front half looks like the harnesses I make out of seatbelts...the rest looks like extra parts though found lying around the farm...lol.

I been making collars and harnesses out of seat belts for years..I use 4 plys and they are indestructable...1 layer is suppose to be able to withstand like 1500 pounds of tensile resistance in a car wreck...or something like that? I forget the actual numbers...and I dont know many dogs that can do that anyway...so 4 ply will never break...they are quite easy to make...and the material is real soft...the perfect material...it even seems rot resistant in my experiance...I love them..

Thats a weighted collar there are a few members of this site I believe sell them...
Seatbelt is actually a inexpensive and pretty good material to use from what I hear...

I was in TJ Mexico last year and picked up 3 harness's for $25.00. Hand made in Mexico. Thick leather and braded together real nice. One like I have would cost at least 50 to 80 bucks in the states.

how do you connect the seatbelt at the folds stitch them or whatyep a good sewing machine is all you need..and D rings...for collars I stich like belt loops in the back...and put d rings on the end then i can run a chain on the back side and pad lock it together ...no other fasteners... just custom made to length and the lock closes it thru the d rings and the chain...so if someone intends to steal a dog I intend to make them work for it..until the patrol dog can bite the sh!t out of them at least...lol.

yeah sounds good do you double or triple stitch them?
misterdogman
07-15-2005, 10:10 AM
yeah sounds good do you double or triple stitch them?I run 3 line of stitches on each side down the length so its triple..and I zig zag stitch so theres more stitching going thru the material...real strong...and I use monofiliment string...like fishing string...it dont rot and is like 20 lb test line...good stuff

Here's what you do - you become buddies with someone who does custom leather work. :)

I do leather work too..I get lots of free pig and cow hides from butchering...and now the only skin Id use on a dog is pig or sheep skin...cow is not even a consideration anymore...put it this way ...go get any kind of leather collar and a Seatbelt collar and see which one rots away first, thats why I switched...but I still do make some out of pig leather for my friends who want something that looks better than nylon like for walking... or at an event...sheeps the strongest...then pig then cow...but cow takes the best tanning color on it...a lot darker and prettier IMO...
