Hi friends, due to losing some weight (and just my natural body proportions, off-the-rack pants always seem to be pretty snug in the seat but loose in the waist for me) it seems that most of my jeans and pants need a belt, though I don't always love the look or the hassle of a belt. I've tried to find some guides online for making a traditional cinch-back with a buckle, but the ones I've found aren't very detailed or seem to skip a lot of the steps that they consider to be "basic."
Has anyone added cinch-backs themselves? Does anyone have a go-to guide or tips on what I'd need to DIY some cinch-backs to my jeans? I have plenty of off-cuts from the same denim due to hemming, and I've found where I can buy buckles and gold/indigo thread.
My apologies if this has already been discussed at-length in another thread, I looked through the guides and didn't see anything.
