I've toyed with the idea of doing a butt join and using some soft braided fishing line (like Firewire etc) to join the belt like the old school method of joining leather belting.

I did this when belting my Case to a burr mill, but instead of a butt, I angled the ends with a razor blade so when pieced together it was overlapped and flat, then I just ran it through a sewing machine.
