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.

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.
