Build a practical leather belt for Renaissance fairs, LARP, historical-inspired costumes, and everyday utility with the Roadwarden Utility Belt from Old Line Crafts & Designs.

This original Gear for the Commoner pattern uses a 1.50-inch leather belt blank, traditional tongue buckle, fixed keeper, and two movable Field Loops. The Field Loops can be positioned where you need them and provide a clean foundation for compatible pouches, sheath ties, cords, and future Gear for the Commoner accessories.

The project is designed for beginner-to-intermediate leatherworkers. The straight belt construction is approachable, while the fitted buckle fold, mirrored stitch references, and custom sizing system introduce useful belt-making skills.
