A stalk for supporting a safety belt buckle or the like in a generally predetermined position spaced-apart from an anchor member comprises a single piece of belt webbing material folded lengthwise along two folds to superpose both edge portions on the center portion and position the selvage edges closely adjacent each other. The edge portions are stitched to the center portion, thereby providing a double thickness of belt webbing of substantially half the width of the webbing material. A portion of one end of the folded and stitched webbing piece is folded back on itself and overlaps a portion of the other end, and said end portions are joined together to form the webbing piece into a loop. The loop passes through a hole in the anchor member, and the portions of the loop on opposite sides of the anchor member lie substantially flat closely adjacent each other and are stiffened and stabilized by a layer of polymeric material injected and molded in situ between said portions of the loop.
