How do you cut off the end of a leather belt?

Lost some weight two years ago (230 to 195). Had just bought a Brooks Bros. blazer.
As far as the belts are concerned, I took one belt, placed in on the one I wanted to cut to use as a pattern. Worked. Looks weird because the holes go to the end. One belt I haven't done will go to a cobbler I just heard about to cut off the other end and redo the buckle.
 
Am I boring you?? Well Excuuuuuse me!! Canvas chafes me for you're information. Black makes me look fat. The rest of those colors are not sassy enough for my spring wear.

Get a bungee cord then, they come in all new exciting spring fashion colors:D
 
" canvas chafes me " are we talking about a belt here or briefs? :eek:
 
This thread inspires me.

I have 3 pretty expensive (for me; I know 'expensive' is relative) belts. I dropped about 70 pounds a couple of years back. I punched new holes in them as I shrank. The non-buckle end goes clear to the left side belt loop on my pants now and then some. They are lined and sewn so chopping the non-buckle end never seemed like a good idea and i am too stupid to have thought of chopping the buckle end.

Now I got projects for Saturday!

I'll have to do a search for the ball cap washing thread. Sadly, when I lost weight, my head didn't shrink, too.
 
Why not just cut the tip off and use it for a pattern? Use some wax and something hard to finish the new edge.
