Introducing the "Missouri Belt" – an embodiment of enduring craftsmanship. The raw cowhide undergoes meticulous tanning on the Saint Louis Mississippi riverfront by Hermann Oak, one of the oldest tanneries in the United States, with a legacy dating back to the 1800s. Originally established to supply harness leather to wagon trains following the Lewis and Clark trails, Hermann Oak remains a family-owned institution, consistently producing the strongest leather.

Following the time-honored tanning process, the belt strap is precision-cut, finished, and expertly assembled by Noble Buffalo, also located in Saint Louis. If your quest is for the belt with unparalleled longevity, look no further. This belt features the thickest hide ever worked with in our shop, measuring 5mm to 5.5mm, equivalent to a robust 12-14oz leather. Anticipate enduring quality that spans decades, making it an investment in both style and durability.
