This heavy-duty working men's or women's leather belt is not for the faint of heart. At nearly twice the thickness of wimpy dress belts, this monstrosity will outlast any jeans they hold up.  And because it's constructed with vegetable-tanned English Bridle leather made in the USA, this skillfully hand-crafted belt will develop a unique beauty and patina as it ages.  The more you wear it, the better it will look.

DETAILS

• 12oz (3/16" / 4.4mm) Thick English Bridle Leather from the Wickett & Craig tannery (founded in 1867) in Curwensville Pennsylvania, USA.
• Tanning Details: English Bridle is a traditional vegetable-tanned leather with a variety of uses, from classic equestrian gear to high-end leather goods. Drum dyed and hot stuffed, English Bridle is smooth, flexible yet durable. 
• Strap Width: 1.5"
• Color: Natural (un-dyed)
• Hardware: Buckle and attachment hardware is solid brass. (Nickel hardware is nickel-plated on top of solid brass)
• Holes: The billet (pointy) end of the belt has 7 holes spaced by 1" apart on center.

BELT SIZING

Let's face it, no two people make chili the same way, and no two brands of jeans are the same size (even though they may have identical size numbers). That's why you see product reviews online with descriptions like "runs small", "runs large" or "fits true to size". Plus, slacks and jeans can stretch over time, and so can belts. And, if we're being completely honest, people stretch (or shrink) over time too.

So how do you know what size belt to order to get the perfect fit? 

Short answer; Tape measure. Just a good old-fashioned, junk drawer, garage or Harbor Freight freebie tape measure.

Longer answer: Ignore what size Levi printed above your back pocket and measure a current belt that fits you. Don't worry what number is printed on the belt or if it stretched out over time. Simply follow the measuring instructions below.

MEASURING INSTRUCTIONS

As shown in the picture below, measure your existing belt from the end of the buckle (A) to the hole you currently use (B) - that measurement (in inches) is the size Blue Lick Leather belt to order.
