Description

Clean lines. Rich leather. An everyday belt that works with denim or a more dressed-up look. The Heritage is made from full-grain Wickett & Craig English bridle cowhide, vegetable-tanned in Pennsylvania.

The leather starts with a firm, supportive feel and softens with use. Its smooth surface and natural sheen give the belt a classic finish, while everyday wear adds depth and patina. Small markings and grain variations are part of the hide’s character.

In our New Jersey workshop, we cut the strap, shape the tip, finish the edges and fit your chosen hardware. Select black or brown leather with a solid brass or nickel-plated brass buckle.

Chicago screws make the buckle easy to remove and change. Fit another buckle designed for a 1.5-inch strap to give the same belt a different look. Each Heritage is finished and checked by hand before it leaves our workshop.

How to measure + full size chart

Buying a belt as a gift?

Only know their pants waist size? Usually add 2 inches.

34″ pants → choose belt size 36

Use waist sizes in inches. Between belt sizes? Choose the next size up.

Use a belt that already fits you well.

Measure from the leather fold to your usual belt hole Point 1 is the leather fold where the strap wraps around the buckle. Point 2 is the hole you use most. Measure the straight distance between these points. Do not include the buckle or measure to the strap tip. 12
  1. Start at the leather fold. Lay your belt flat. Place the tape at the fold where the leather wraps around the buckle. Leave the buckle out.
  2. Measure to your usual hole. Measure along the strap to the center of the hole you wear most. Use inches.
  3. Choose that belt size. We measure your new belt from the same leather fold to its center hole. If you fall between listed sizes, choose the next size up for a little extra length.

36 inches measured → choose belt size 36.

Five holes, 1 inch apart, give you two tighter and two looser settings.

Find your belt size

Start with a belt you already love.

Lay it flat. Measure from the leather fold at the buckle to the center of the hole you use most. Leave the buckle out of the measurement.

Measure from the leather fold to your usual belt hole Point 1 is the leather fold where the strap wraps around the buckle. Point 2 is the hole you use most. Measure the straight distance between these points. Do not include the buckle or measure to the strap tip. 12

36 inches measured → belt size 36.

Your pants size is a starting point.

Use the waist size in inches from a pair of pants that fits well. Usually, add 2 inches to estimate your belt size. Measuring an existing belt is more reliable.

34-inch pants → start with belt size 36.

Don’t order your pants size as your belt size. Use waist sizes in inches, not a European clothing size.

Know their pants size? Keep it simple.

If you cannot measure a belt they wear, usually add 2 inches to their pants waist size. This is an estimate; clothing brands and how a belt is worn can change the fit.

Buying for someone who wears 34-inch pants? Start with belt size 36.

Not sure? Ask our workshop for help.
