Here are some tips below for coming up with a
smooth finish alligator skin belt
1. Alligator Skin Why would we want to take small
strips from various alligators and not form just
one alligator? Taking the complete belt from one
alligator sounds easy but then the tail scales
and the belly scales finishing would not look
good, if not done by a properly trained
artisan. In comparison to this, taking small
different belt pieces, put next to next, and
working upon, they provide a better finish. 2.
Picking the right alligator skin This is another
important stuff to consider. Us trying to pick
the best and smooth grade skin will leave us with
no or little imperfection on the skin that would
lead to fewer designs on the belt. It is
advisable to bring big and low-grade skins into
use this will help bring the most optimal
alligator skin belt to the table.

3. Cutting techniques Now to get the best product
out, we need to bring better practices right from
the start. From the belly and flanks, strips are
cut horizontally and then are often used together
so there are more similarities in the
patterns. While working with the tail portion of
the alligators, they are never mixed with other
portions of the alligators. Alligator leather
belts could be made with the flanks and belly
portion cut on the vertical side, as this
provides a circular belt portion on their whole
and this can itself be turned into one belt
portion. Two things related to the alligator skin
belt a. Brings up exotic style options. b. A
greater upgrade as compared to cow skin. With
this guide on exotic leather belts, coming from
alligator skin, along with some traditional
practices, we can keep bringing in a few
experiments, here and there. Isnt it amazing,
how well we would adore a better piece of leather
belt, coming from an alligator, made while
keeping all the necessary things in mind? By the
way, which one piece of leather belt from the
many exotic leather belts is still afresh in your
mind? Let us know in your comments, and share a
