Different than those belts that simply hold up your pants, These belt are made to endure through all of the abuse that a utility belt can be given! From holding sash in place, all of your guns, daggers, and swords, and even your great kilt, these are the belts for you!

Many people make belts, but mine incorporate my own unique touches to add versatility and strength! Belts come in different widths, each with their own options for available buckle styles. My standard widths are 2", 2½", and 3". Custom widths are available also, just right for your custom buckle!

Custom tooling is available also; Continue below for details!

Buckle Attachment Options

Return to Menu

I take the time to hand stitch every buckle in place! Sure it's more work for me, but hand stitching is more accurate to the period and actually stronger than rivets! Snaps or Chicago Screws are available if you prefer to be able to remove the buckle.

Please add $4 to the price for the snap or screw option.

New, Broken in, or Severely Distressed

Return to Menu

You also have your choice of different conditions of your belt. When new, the leather is quite stiff, but our opinion is that a broken in appearance is more desirable, so we take a few minutes to begin breaking in each piece as a standard. If you would rather that yours be new and stiff to break in yourself, please say so! We can also add severe distressing, to give it a few years worth of wear! That service is a mere $9 extra. 

Shown is new on top and broken in on bottom. Broken in is standard. Click photo for larger image.

Severely distressed and damaged. In addition to being broken in, this one has part of the tip missing and shows signs of abrasion and wear. $9 extra. 

Ordering Concerns

Return to Menu

Sizes

When ordering any belt please specify the size, and please be aware that your pant or modern belt size is often not your belt size. Get a tape measure and measure right where you will wear the belt!

Sizes over 46 please add $9 to the listed price.

Color and Buckle Styles.

Be sure to choose your color and desired buckle. Buckles are hand stitched (not riveted) in place. If you prefer snaps instead (snaps would allow you to remove the buckle). I take the time to hand stitch every buckle in place! Sure it's more work for me, but hand stitching is more accurate to the period and actually stronger than rivets! Snaps are available if you prefer to be able to remove the buckle.

2" belt showing two snaps option

Snap option please add $4 to the price.

Additional cost of $9 is added to sizes larger than 46". Larger sizes may also require me to join two pieces together at my discretion depending on the availability of longer raw leather. I use a strong hand stitched joint and no extra cost for this!

If this joint is not acceptable to you, please specify it to me!
