A while back I met this guy from Texas who had been a Texas Ranger. Now as we all know Texas has everything bigger, better & badder than elsewhere, apparently it included this gentleman's shadow, which was getting wider, presumably because of Globull warming.
He had a similar problem & with great ingenuity designed this answer to the leather shrinkage issues caused by sun, wind & rain, not Lone Star beer.
The Ranger belt.................
Uses 2 older "pre-shrunk" belts of differing widths to make a single, longer belt. No sewing skills needed just punch holes & Chicago screws
