Cut and sewn in California
The Heavyweight Belt was the first departure from our more standard belt offerings. This time, we literally built it bigger than the last iteration. We're using the same natural veg-tanned leather that we've worked with in the past, but for these belts, we're using a heavier 13-14oz hide. The natural leather starts out light and will age to a beautiful golden brown over time. We're also cutting the belts wider than usual at 1.75 inches. This will easily be the most substantial belt you'll ever own.
We pay special attention to the finish as we do on all our products. The strap is edged and burnished with beeswax. We use a hefty roller buckle with a nickel finish, and it’s secured with two Chicago screws. Handmade in California.
Variations in color, shade, and finish are natural characteristics of handcrafted leather, making each piece truly one of a kind.
If you look around, belts of this quality and design are typically much higher. If we had to sell at retail and guess which style you wanted, we would be stuck doing the same. Fortunately, we’re not, and that means you get a top quality product for a radical price.
Fit
Seven sizes available. Measured from buckle center to middle holes of five. Measure your current belt to pick the best size, but as a "rule of thumb" typically this is 2-3 sizes up from your Gustin pant size.

Customer Feedback on NATURAL HEAVYWEIGHT BELT
"Wow, I've never seen anything like it. This belt is an elegant beast if ever there was one. The heft and the hand are just sumptuous. The thickness and width are remarkable, and perfectly in proportion to one another. And despite its ruggedness the belt comes out of the box supple and comfortable to wear. If you know anything about leather you can tell this will break in and patina amazingly, and will continue to evolve through years of wear."
-Amahl H. | Verified Buyer
"i’m a woman with 25” waist and this belt in 30” is perfect for me. i use the center hole for jeans that sit right at the top of my hips. i bought this belt to attach/secure my dog to me on our daily walks. i thread the belt through the handle of my dog’s leash and the loop sits right above my coin pocket. this heavyweight belt has already saved my dog’s life a handful of times this winter - he reacts to skateboards and i wouldn’t have been able to hang on to him while wearing my winter mittens. construction and materials are amazing. thank you so much!"
-Katherine V. | Verified Buyer
"This belt is very sturdy and will probably outlast me. It's cut a little longer - I bought same size as pants and it fit fine. I highly recommend this belt."
-James F. | Verified Buyer
