Here’s a look at how my customers’ purchases are aging over time. Each item will develop its own unique patina depending on how you use it, how often, and what it’s exposed to. That’s the magic of using high-end Full Grain Vegetable Tanned Leather.

Out in the West, there are great expansive desert mesas, this belt design was inspired by their rugged beauty. Created using three layers of my finest U.S. Full-Grain leather and solid brass buckles and hardware, you won't find a belt this nice in any department store! I sand, slick, polish and wax the edges too for that finished touch. It measures about 1.75 inches in width - so make sure it'll fit your pant loops, but know that it will also work well as a casual day belt. It makes for a comfy fit, and if you like to carry items on your belt - it is plenty strong for that too.
I make this belt style on a per-order basis custom cut to your size and options, right here in my small U.S. workshop.
All buckles are solid brass and you have the option of the exterior finish. The leather I use is the top tier in the industry, called full grain leather (densest fiber count), and I source it from the best and oldest tannery in the U.S. You will not find leather that is as durable as this, or that ages with a rich patina over time. Four solid brass Chicago screws hold the buckle in place and allow you to swap it out if need be.
Each wide leather Western Ridge belt goes out the door with a tin of my own shop made leather conditioner, meant to keep it in great shape for years to come.
You are supporting a true American small business. Our workshop was founded in the U.S. over a decade ago. We use the highest grade full-grain vegetable tanned leather from the top U.S. Tannery (over 150 years running), as well as buy our supplies from other U.S. businesses. We are proud to be known for our honest American quality.

This Wide Leather Western Ridge Belt is about 1.75 inches wide, 3/16 inches thick on the edges and 1/4 inch thick in the raised area.
LINED LEATHER:
Using three layers of the finest U.S. Full Grain leather glued and stitched together for an incredibly durable belt (third layer is sandwiched in between to create the raised area). Most people will find this is the perfect match of durability and versatility. The inner facing layer is always Tan to prevent dye rub off, and the outer layer is your choice.
SIZE:
To get an accurate size measurement put on your current belt the way you would normally wear it. Then please see the size chart photo for details on how to get your correct belt size by measuring your own belt. Don’t use pants or waist size as it will not work and we cannot exchange or refund for size.
THREAD:
We use an extremely thick thread typically used in the saddle and horse tack industry. It’s meant to be UV resistant and holds up well over time. Currently there are two color options, Natural – which is an off-white color and Black – which may be appropriate for the black colored belts if you prefer.
BUCKLE OPTIONS:
All buckles are made of solid brass and have an outer finish of your choice. Depending on the belt style and width you choose, certain options may not be available. Currently the black PVD buckles are only available in 1.5″ width belts.
PERSONALIZATION:
On this belt, personalization will go on the back side near the Chicago screws. Each personalization will be surrounded by two diamond marks.
Note on the handmade process: Numerous tools and machines are used to make this belt, there may be the occasional marking on the leather. If it cuts into the leather, I always replace the piece before shipping out.
Discounts: Due to the amount of work required to make this type of belt it may not be eligible for the same discounts as other items in the shop.
