This belt is cut directly from horsehide tanned at the storied Horween Tannery in Chicago, IL, and left un-finished in an undyed Russet natural tone. The edges are beveled and polished smooth with beeswax, giving it a subtle, durable shine. Because horsehide typically comes in shorter lengths, if you don’t see your size in the dropdown menu, shoot me an email to check availability. Hand-crafted by me (Noble Buffalo) in St. Louis, MO, this belt is 100% made in the USA and built to last. Enjoy a piece of genuine craftsmanship that fits right into everyday life.

I purchased three belts from Noble Buffalo in March of 2025. A Classic English Bridle Leather Belt in Ebony Black and a Horween Chromexcel Leather Belt in Brown and one in Burgundy. All three in the standard 1.5" width.
I also asked to have the edge of all belts dyed or painted black.
I went with Noble Buffalo in part because I wanted leather belts made from a single piece of leather. No layers or pieces of leather glued together that separate with time.
All belts are of excellent quality and I expect I will wear them for decades. The black English bridle leather belt is more firm than the two Horween belts but I have been wearing it a few months and it is broken in nicely.
The buckles are all well-made, you can feel it in their weight, and I think they have a timeless, classic look.
I highly recommend Noble Buffalo and have to add that Ben was very helpful and provided excellent customer service. If you need a belt buy it from Noble Buffalo!
