We went looking for something we thought would be simple: a casual, tough as nails belt that we could wear everyday, for years to come. As it turns out, this was tough to find so we decided to make it. We use heavy weight vegetable tanned Horween steerhide leather and durable finished black buckles that although they are removable, we doubt you will want to. Like everything we do, we make each one by hand so that the quality is guaranteed.
