Belts

Handmade leather belts, built one at a time in Tyler Shupe's shop in Eminence, Indiana. Every belt here is full-grain leather from U.S. hides, and every one carries a lifetime warranty. There are five lines, and each is built differently:

• Classic belts: brown bridle leather, two layers laminated and stitched, in 1.25" and 1.5" widths. Sold with a buckle. Stock sizes 28 to 46, and other sizes can be made.
• Heritage Buckstitch belts: 1.5" bridle leather, two layers laminated and sewn, hand-laced with kangaroo lace in white, turquoise, pink and purple. Sold without a buckle so you can run your own.
• Hideout Suede belts: a suede face sewn onto a 1.5" full-grain strap with white western stitching, in fourteen colors, sizes 26 to 42. Jeremiah Watt heel buckle included.
• Elite Series: two full plies of Hermann Oak saddle skirting, hand-stamped, sewn and hand-dyed.
• Casual belts: single-ply for office and dress wear, a brown 1.25" and a black 1.5".

Every buckle goes on with two Chicago screws, never snaps, so you can swap in a trophy buckle and back. My belts run bigger than your pant size because the leather is thicker: most people order their pant size plus 4 inches. To be sure, measure a belt you already wear from the buckle fold to the hole you use, or follow the belt measurement guide. Size exchanges have no time limit as long as the belt is new and unworn.

The lifetime warranty covers anything that breaks or fails in normal use. I repair it or replace it at no charge, for the original owner, whether you bought it or got it as a gift. I'll also clean and condition any belt I sell, free, for life.
