I'm getting a custom gun belt made, any advice?

[Falstaff]

I've found a place here in the Calgary that'll make me a custom gun belt for a decent price. They specialize in western era gun belts and can make me something nice with no trouble. I currently have an old Noel Howard Raiders gun belt that needs to be replaced. I've always liked the look of it, and will probably have its hardware used in the construction of my new belt. I just purchased a whip holder with turnbuckle closure that I'm planning to use, so this custom belt will be more of a TOD version, however I've decided I like the extra length seen in the LC and CS versions. They'll be using my NH to model the new belt off of, but I was wondering if anyone has some advice on extra rivets, stitching, etc, that I should think about adding? Thanks.
