Looking for the absolute best strap of leather for your belt? A leather belt that will last 100+ years? Introducing the "Missouri Belt"!
This leather starts off in Saint Louis, MO at the Hermann Oak tannery (established 1881). Hermann Oak prepares the raw cowhide using a vegetable tanning process and drum dyes the hides a deep black color.
Next stage of preparation happens down in Springfield Missouri at the Springfield Leather Company. They are the largest leather distributor in the region. SLC will cut and distribute sides of this leather variety.
Final strap cutting, waxing, water treatment, and assembly takes place back in Saint Louis, Missouri at Noble Buffalo. All belt straps at cut and prepared upon-order.

Glazed Dark Brown - Wickett & Craig Leather Dress Belt Review
Fantastic belt. Neatly packaged and shipping time was totally reasonable given it is made to length. Exactly what I was looking for - a very high quality, sturdy, dress belt that appears as though it will last a lifetime. The 1.25" width seems perfect for dress pants as a thicker width would look off in slacks. Very satisfied.
Likes:I like the quality of the leather and the craftsmanship. I like supporting small business that take pride in their products.
Improvements:In the coming year or two I will be replacing a 20 year old leather jacket that I bought on my honeymoon in Florence. So far I have only found about 2 or 3 U.S. companies that make leather jackets. Maybe expand?
Casual Plus
After going through one or two department store belts a year, I wanted something better and something made in America. After some searching I found Noble Buffalo. I purchased this belt as a casual belt to wear with shorts and jeans. But since its arrival I have also been wearing the Soft Buffalo Leather belt with business attire. It works great to informalize more traditional office or business wear. I will definitely be buying more from Noble Buffalo, likely a 1.25 inch for suits or to dress up jeans when necessary.
