Master the "Gunslinger" Stitching Pattern
Creating the iconic, scalloped stitch line of a classic Gunslinger belt used to require tedious measuring and a lot of prayer. We wanted that authentic look for our own shop, but we needed a process that was faster, more precise, and—most importantly—consistent.
Since we couldn't find a tool that met our standards, we built one.
Designed and manufactured entirely in-house, our Gunslinger Stitching Templates are built for professional leatherworkers who value both speed and soul in their craft.
Why Our Templates Rule:
-
Precision Alignment: No more "eyeballing" the curves. Our unique triangular alignment window allows you to perfectly line up the peaks from the first side to the second.
-
The Raised Edge Guide: We integrated a raised lip that hugs the edge of your leather. This ensures your pattern stays perfectly centered and even across the entire length of the belt—no drifting.
-
Built to Last: We designed them to be rugged enough for daily shop use while maintaining a sharp, clean edge for your stylus or awl.
-
Three Essential Sizes: Available in 25mm, 32mm, and 38mm widths to fit standard belt blanks and straps.
How to Use It (The "Flip & Click" Method)
Our template turns a complex layout into a simple, repetitive rhythm:
-
First Pass: Place the template against the edge of your leather. Use the raised guide to keep it flush and score your line.
-
Slide & Repeat: Move the template down, align the start point, and score again. Repeat for the full length.
-
The Flip: Turn the belt over.
-
Align the Peaks: Looking through the triangular window, align the template with the peaks you just scored on the underside.
-
Finish: Score the second side. Because of the window alignment, your "diamonds" will be perfectly symmetrical every single time.
Stop fighting with rulers and dividers. Grab the template we use in our own shop and give your belts that legendary Gunslinger silhouette with half the effort.
