They were popular with army uniforms, especially so with the armies of Eastern Europe and Russia, who would wear tight belts to reduce waist size and improve stature. They even went as far as wearing a corset, which is where we draw the line. In the past, belts were more popular among men than women, but as time progressed, the belt has become equally a fashion statement for both sexes. Celebrate the history of such a fine accessory with the Men's Leather Belt by\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHide\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u0026amp; Drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flesh side of the soft leather is first stained with natural drab tone and finished with our proprietary beeswax conditioner. Our unique treatment not only helps the leather to retain its shape without the aid synthetic stabilizers, it also eliminates the need for a lining (often the first to tear) offering a natural and durable look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather we use, originating from our\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ewell-established\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003esupplier Compiel, is nothing but Full Grain Leather, and if you don't know what that is, then make sure you're sitting comfortably. There are 4 types of leather, and they differ in quality. You have Full Grain Leather, Top Grain Leather, Genuine Leather and Bonded Leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe'll start with Bonded Leather. It's more of an insult to call Bonded Leather a leather. It's basically lots of different parts of leather glued and pressed together to make one piece. It's cheap, not at all durable and it will fall apart within weeks. In short, it's no good and we are completely against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenuine Leather is in third place in the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erunning,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand is the layer of the hide that remains after the top is taken off for the better quality leathers. This surface can often be given a makeover with a finish, sometimes a spray paint that can give it the look of a better quality. Not something that happens in our house. Don't settle for this, you can do better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop Grain Leather is the second highest grade that you'll find. A leather taken from the top layer of the hide that is treated, sanded and refined. It's a good quality leather, but not good enough for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHide\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand Drink. You can still do better, though, go one more step higher.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull Grain Leather is the best you can get when it comes to leather, there's no competition here, and Hide and Drink is its biggest fan. Full Grain Leather comes from the top layer of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehide,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand has all of the grain, hence its name.

You can stop looking now, you've found the cream of the crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tanning process is something that we take pride in. Our rustic leather is created\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ethrough\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eremoving the hair, extracting the moisture, taking out the oils and, of course, the natural preservatives. The leather is placed in a large container filled with new oils, coloring\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003epreservatives, and there it takes on its new color and thus its new personality. The finishing process consists of pressing the leather with heated plates, hung up to dry and sprayed and finished with a sealer.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFinally\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eit is pressed once more and then ready for its transformation, in which it is carefully handcrafted by the diligent locals of Pastores, Guatemala, where our workshop is located.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hide \u0026 Drink","offers":[{"title":"Charcoal Black \/ 30\"","offer_id":51537532715329,"sku":"Belt30BrassCB-RWWRP","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal Black \/ 32\"","offer_id":51537532748097,"sku":"Belt32BrassCB-RWWRP","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal Black \/ 34\"","offer_id":51537532780865,"sku":"Belt34BrassCB-RWWRP","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal Black \/ 36\"","offer_id":51537532813633,"sku":"Belt36BrassCB-RWWRP","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Charcoal Black \/ 38\"","offer_id":51537532846401,"sku":"Belt38BrassCB-RWWRP","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/6379\/files\/1_cd1466d8-ff81-4043-977b-073563d7367a.jpg?v=1750451043","url":"https:\/\/stockyardx.com\/products\/two-row-stitch-thick-leather-belt-antique-brass-buckle_charcoal_black","provider":"StockyardX, The Leather Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
