Medieval & Renaissance long belts

Also known as Knight's Belts; We make more belts than you can imagine, most are custom orders done on site at a faire! And I don't use a belt roller like my colleagues do; I hand tool all of them! For mail order ease, I offer these basic styles.

These are my basic fancy belt styles (shown in antique mahogany finish). Each is meticulously hand tooled and finished! These are not imprinted by a roller or machine like everyone else's! (Read about Hand Crafting here) Each belt comes with your choice of ring or buckle, included in the price!

  • 1-1/2" wide (shown in examples)

  • 1-3/4" wide (border width will vary from these photos)

Ring Belts

Traditional Ring Belt. Your choice of Nickel Plated or Brass Ring. 

$29

Although not as authentic as once thought, a very popular Renaissance Faire item!

Plain Knight Belt

Like the ring belt, but more authenic. Hand stiched instead of riveted for accuracy. Buckle designs vary, but are similar to photo.

$38

 

"Diamond Simple" Style

"Diamond Simple" style. Modeled after Aragorn's belt in Lord of the Rings, but not a replica. Black shown.

$49

"Diamond Fancy" Style

"Diamond Fancy" style. A simpler pattern. Black shown.

$49

"Herald" Style

1-1/2 inch antique mahogany finish shown

$77

"Noble" Style

1-1/2 inch antique mahogany finish shown

$77

"Aristocrat" Style

1-1/2 inch antique mahogany finish shown

$77

"Fancy Circles" Style

1-1/2 inch light brown shown

$49

 

Skull -n- Crossbones! Pictured is a 1-3/4" wide version. Can also be made 1-1/2" wide. Antique Mahogany coloring shown, click here for other color options

$42

How to tie the knight's knot, and buckle options

Your choice of ring or buckle is included in the price!

Knot

Belts are customarily long, being tied in a knot at the buckle. Lengths can vary between 50 to 70 inches. With the knot in place, it should hang to your knee. Of course, the longer your belt, the higher your status. If you have a particular length concern, please specify when ordering

Rings

Traditional Ring Belt. Just slip your belt through and tie into the knot shown! Although not as authentic as once thought, a very popular Renaissance Faire item!

Buckles

Our standard buckle is one of these style buckles, a great compliment to your belt, and authentic!

Choose Nickel, Brass, or Antique Nickel or Brass.

 Studies and digs have shown that similar buckles existed throughout the middle ages, putting rest to the myth that only ring belts existed during the period! Available for both 1-1/2" and 1-3/4" belts. 

Colors

Don't forget your color options! Here's an example of a purple "Aristocrat" style. The collage above shows various colors including black, dark brown, light brown, and mahogany.

Ordering Concerns

Be sure to choose your color and desired buckle or ring. If choosing a buckle, be sure to include your waist size. Overall lengths will vary between 50 to 70 inches if unspecified. If you have a particular length concern, please specify when ordering. Additional length may increase the price. Rings and buckles are hand stitched (not riveted) in place. If you prefer snaps instead (snaps would allow you to remove the buckle or ring) please add $3 to the price.

 

Custom Belts

Customer sent me the belt end, and I made a custom 1" belt designed to match to the engraving on the end. She was pleased! Got some hardware and want me to make a matching belt? Contact Me!
