Abstract

A weight lifting belt produced from two strips of leather, one strip being substantially elongated relative to the other and having an enlarged width over a portion thereof intermediate first and second narrow end portions, the first end portion being substantially longer than the second end portion. The other strip comprises a short section having surfaces folded back on itself to form a fold and a pair of ends. The ends being secured to the shorter end portion of the elongated strip and a buckle being entrapped between the surfaces of the fold. The first end portion of the long strip has holes for receiving the tongue or tongues of the buckle. The method for producing the belt includes cutting a blank of the longer strip in a staggered relationship in a hide relative to adjacent blanks so that each wide portion of one blank of the longer strip is disposed adjacent a narrow portion of the blank forming the adjacent strips. The second strips are also cut from the hide, folded about respective buckles and secured to the short end of the first strip.
