- UNCOMMON BELTS
-
- We have made these same belts for over 30 years. Each
belt is hand cut with a draw gauge from 9-10 oz domestically
tanned "English bridle" leather bends, which make for
extremely durable strapping. This leather is actually tanned
and finished for the horse bridle industry. This vegetable tanned
leather is quite expensive, but worth the difference. Each strap
is worked through 7 steps before it's attached to a solid brass
buckle using solid brass rivets. Color choice is dark brown,
medium brown, burgandy, rust , tan, and black.
-
- We've always had fun coming up with "different "
belts. Three of the most popular ones are shown here ..all in
dark brown.
-
- From left to right:
Double Ring belt - $38.00
- We use two 2” solid brass rings and a 1 ½”
strap to create a cinch belt. The other end is reversed, so when
cinched the finished side shows. Popular a few years ago, but
coming back.
Pelican hook belt - $54.00
- Here we use a bronze pelican hook as a buckle…looping
it through a narrow leather strap that adjusts. Pelican hooks
are traditional marine hardware used most often on the life rail
on sail boats.
Mystery braid belt - $48.00
- The entire belt is one piece of leather..the ends are
not sewn on. We take a 1¼” strap, make 4 slits creating
5 strands and then braid at one end while undoing the knot created
at the other end in a ”mystery” pattern. The buckle
is from #107.
-
- Order by pants waist size or measure a currently used
belt. Measure from the most used hole to that point on the buckle
where the tongue strikes the buckle body. This result is usually
2” larger than the pant size.
