Belt Too Tight? Try This Instead Of Throwing It Away

🔥

Belt too tight? Before you throw it away, here’s how to lengthen a leather belt properly—so it fastens on the middle hole again and still looks great.

Here we show you a neat method to extend a leather belt by using a donor strip of leather, a clean scarf-style overlap (so the thickness stays consistent), strong leather glue, and (optionally) saddle stitching for a permanent repair.

We also explain the quicker alternative using Chicago screws/rivets if you want a simpler route. This is a beginner-friendly leather repair that doesn’t require an expensive kit—just careful measuring, a sharp knife, and a few basic tools. The join sits at the back of the belt, so it’s discreet, strong, and actually looks like it was made that way.
