Exotic Belts

The Exotic Belt

An exotic belt carries weight. It sits at the center of an outfit and tells the eye, without a word, that the gentleman wearing it pays attention to the details. Some exotic belts are cut from genuine skins, with the natural pattern and depth of the real hide. Others are made from fine leather, hand finished with an alligator grain that gives the same texture and presence in a leather you can wear every day. Both are handcrafted, lined in equestrian saddle leather, and built to wear in rather than wear out.

Among the genuine skins, the Jefferson 2 Buckle American Alligator Belt is the place to begin, its strap cut from glazed American alligator and finished by hand in our American workshop. If your taste runs a little softer, the Wallace 2 Buckle Freshwater Crocodile Belt carries the rounder, more uniform tiles of genuine freshwater crocodile, while the Carson South American Crocodile Belt takes that same crocodile and gives it a vintage finish, so the strap looks lived in from the first wear. Each is a belt you buy once and keep for decades.

The alligator grain belts offer that same exotic texture in a leather you can wear without a second thought. The Bill Alligator Grain Belt is hand finished in America over an equestrian saddle leather lining, and it only looks better with age. The M Signature Alligator Grain Italian Bridle Leather Belt is hand cut from Italian bridle leather and finished in Italy with leather patch and rivet details, a little more relaxed in character. The Alexander Alligator Grain Italian Calf Leather Belt keeps things clean and dressy on a hand finished Italian calf strap. Whichever you choose, let the belt lead: pair a darker strap with matching shoes for business, or let a warmer brown stand out against chinos and an open collar on the weekend.
