Title: Belt member and method of constructing same

Abstract: A flat belt member is constructed of several sections of a tubular braided polyethylene material. The sections are pressed flat to form flat strips of a double thickness having upper and lower braided layers joined together along the edges thereof. The flat strips are arranged in an abutting side by side relation and secured together along their adjacent edges to form the single flat belt member. The ends of the flat strips are fused to prevent unraveling of the braided material. A garment belt may be constructed from a length of the belt member by fastening a buckle onto one end thereof and forming buckle receiving holes in the opposite end of the garment belt.
