This is a really nice job OP. I want to hear about how you covered those lineman's loops and what material you used. I have just tubular webbing over mine but it isnt rigid enough.

mine is just heavy duty 3/4 in tubular webbing , not sure of brand ... it is a little stiffer because it’s only 3/4 in and gets real tight after it’s sewn ! I still may put a few zip ties or try and stuff an extra piece of webbing material in before I sew it , to stiffen it more ....

Thanks! This is really helpful. Is this the method you use @always89?

3rd saddle body completed !

Could you please give me the measurements of the webbing materials and measurements of the where and how long the loops are. 4 of them. The lineman belt, the comfort channels from the main saddle and the leg straps. It would be really helpful. I am just trying one now.
Thank you.

Sorry the main belt also..

Thank you.

Main was approx 96inches to start then I cut off extra after the overlap ...bridge loops were 16 in total - 6 in webbing in middle - ...linesman Loops were 10in total with 9inch of webbing but the entire webbing was 70 in to start and trimmed at the end ... good luck

I'm using 1 inch tubular webbing over 1 inch tubular webbing. The I sew a line down the middle of the linemans loop and put 1 heavy duty zip tie down each side.

I did a video of my build. Linemans loops start at about minute 58 on the 3rd video:

This method seems to work pretty good and makes a really stiff linemans loop.

Awesome looking build you have here!

Nice work ! Is your sewing machine anything special, a commercial model perhaps ?
My wife won't let me touch her expensive machine.

Yep! I watched the video and imitated your method on 3 saddles (updating old kestrel clone, new phantom clone for me, new phantom clone for brother)

It worked beautifully, thanks for the info
