About the Mountain Belt Russet 1.5

The Mountain Belt is a serious piece of leather. Built from Hermann Oak's Old World Harness leather, this heavy duty leather belt is not for fragile hearts and delicate trousers. Purchase the Dark Brown color here. Built as a work horse, not a show horse. It's meant for hard labor and hard use, and wouldn't do well to hold up anything dressy due to it's heavy duty frame.

Due to the nature of drum dyed leather, color may not exactly match the photographed color. But they will always be very close. Expect your leather belt to darken and patina with age and wear. (See below)

Available in a Russet or Dark Brown color that is drummed dyed at Hermann Oak’s tannery in Saint Louis, Missouri. The waxy harness leather tends to resist the intake of the dark brown oil dye, and results in a fantastic antique patina. Accented with a large antiqued solid brass buckle, this belt has an old world class that is timeless. Secured with 2 screw posts, you are able to swap this solid brass buckle out for your favorite buckle with the simple turn of a standard screw driver.

Thank you for supporting independent and hand made.

"How beautiful this was when it was new. And how beautiful it still is, even though time has made it different".

"There's something comforting about knowing the face and name of the craftsman making something for you. An item made to order; however, is particularly whimsical and takes it one step further. Your soon to be special item isn't just sitting on a shelf waiting to be ordered, but instead, exists as raw materials, awaiting your order and a skilled craftsman's touch." Badger and Blade

Reviews

Fantastic heavy duty belt

"Just got my new belt and can tell it is very well made. No issues at all and size is right on with what I measured. Glad I went with the 1. 5 inch since most of my belt loops fit this and not the larger size. Very happy with it and looking forward to breaking it in."

Mountain Belt Russet 1. 5

"Beautiful looking thick leather belt. It feels solid and well‑crafted, and comfortably conforming to waist. The hardware is strong and quiet. Sizing was perfect."

— Istvan V. (5/5)

Nice belt, weird sizing, frustrating experience

"The leather and hardware are nice, but the number of holes is excessive. Based on my exchange experience, it feels like the belt has 7 holes as justification to charge customers a fee who want to pick a different size. Irritating customer service experience."

— Briar (2/5)

Mountain Belt Russet - 1. 75" Width Version

"These belts are amazing. I’ve had the 1. 5 inch version in Russet and Dark Brown for a couple years and really had no reason to buy this larger width version other than I just wanted it due to the known durability of this leather. The finishing work is top notch and I just love how this leather changes and patinas over time. Beautiful product and WAY more substantial and durable than anything else I’ve seen on the market. Of course, the wallets are amazing as well. Trust the value you’re getting with a purchase from these guys. Thank you, gentlemen. Appreciate the products and hope others continue to find value in what you’re offering."

sturdy, stylish, comfortable belt

"got this to go with a new pair of apc raw denim. couldn't be more pleased. exceptionally sturdy belt, but not too heavy or visually imposing. wears well with slim-fitting t-shirts and button-downs as well as looser items. much more comfortable than any other belt I've had. looking forward to watching it age along with the jeans"

"Beefy belt!"
