LEATHER BELTS
mostly done - just need to work on photos
A good belt gets used every day. It’s one of those items you don’t think much about—until it starts to fail. These are built to hold up to daily use, using full-grain leather and solid construction where it matters most.

These are built using Wickett & Craig English bridle leather—one of the best leathers available for belt making.
The leather is thicker, more refined, and develops character over time.
Each one is cut, finished, and assembled by hand.
• 10–12 oz full-grain bridle leather (thick) — if you prefer thinner, I can get 8-10 oz also
• Solid brass hardware
• Hand-finished edges (dyed and burnished)
• Built for long-term daily use
These are the belts I build when the goal is durability and long-term performance.
These are a simpler, more affordable option for everyday use.
Made from vegetable-tanned water buffalo leather, they are slightly stiffer and less refined than the bridle belts—but still strong and reliable.
I’m able to offer these at a lower price by using different materials and a more streamlined build process.
• 8–9 oz leather
• Strong, functional hardware
• Simplified finishing process
• Available in a small range of colors
These are a good option if you want something solid and functional without the higher cost of a premium build.
Sizing
Getting the right size matters.
Pant sizes don’t always translate directly to belt size—depending on the brand and fit, the difference can be several inches.
Because of that, the best way to size a belt is:
• Measure an existing belt from the tip of the buckle to the hole you use most often
• Use a seamstress tape - run the tape through your belt loops (like it’s your belt)
• Or bring a belt with you if you’re local
If you’re ordering as a gift and only have a pant size, I’m happy to help estimate—but a quick measurement is always the most accurate option.
Colors / Options
Available colors vary depending on the type of leather.
Premium (bridle) belts are typically in traditional tones. I keep a medium brown in stock at all times but can order other colors for no additional charge.
Everyday belts are usually stocked in crazy horse brown, crazy horse gray, chocolate brown, and black. Other options may be available by request.
Pricing
Belts range from simple everyday builds to more traditional, hand-finished pieces. If you’re trying to decide what would work best, I’m happy to walk through the options. Most premium builds fall into a higher price range, while everyday belts are priced as a more accessible option.
Ordering
Most belts are built to order. If you’re local, you’re welcome to reach out and set up a time to get sized and look at options in person. In some cases, the Everyday belts can be made while you wait, depending on availability.
