Leather Tow Belt

Materials used to make this Leather Belt

We only use Full Grain Leather and don't buy any belt that isn't. Here's why: a hide of leather is like a roof. The top part has the shingles, which are the toughest and most resistant part of the roof. Likewise, leather has grain as the top layer, and it's really strong and resistant too.&&Some companies shave off the top layer of the leather (grain) to get rid of the scars so they can use the entire hide and not cut around the scars. But that's like someone shaving the shingles off the roof, so it looks better. So stupid. If they shave some off, but there's a little left, then that's called Top Grain. Genuine or Split Leather is technically what it's called when there is no grain left. Those companies that make cheap genuine leather belts are just looking for an easy way to get your money. Those are the types of leather belts that will not last. We make belts to last at least 100 years.

316 Stainless Steel

We changed our buckle from nickel plated brass to 316 Stainless Steel. The brass was good enough, but our new hardware is way better. Some say it's like killing a fly with a shotgun, but it makes me feel good inside knowing that I'm wearing such strong hardware on this man's leather belt. Our clips were tested and rated to hold up to 750 lbs., and this buckle is thicker than our clips. So I'm thinking about 1000 lbs. I am sure you have had enough belt buckles break to see the value in this.

Threading

To sew all of these great materials together with a cheap thread would be like using a cardboard hatch on a really nice submarine. So, I chose the strongest and longest lasting thread I could find and then bought the thick version of it. It is a marine-grade polyester thread, the kind they use to sew parachutes and sails for ships. So, if your life depends on it, they use this thread. Nylon is a trash material but much cheaper, and leather belts fall apart in a short time with use and UV light because of it. Imagine that, wearing your belt in the sunlight for too long, and your belt falls apart. They should at least tell you when you buy such a cheap belt that it is only made to be worn loosely for a fashionable statement, and never in the sunlight. It sounds like a belt you might get for your sister, but this belt isn't just for style. This leather belt is for daily wear to keep your pants around your waist, even if you are packing a heavy holster.

Design of these Leather Belts

I designed this leather belt with 9 holes that are 3/4" apart so this thick leather belt fits comfortably and just right before and after meals. Most leather belts only have 5 holes that are 1" apart. I designed it with the holes starting 2" from the tip instead of starting 4 inches from the tip like most leather belts. You never know when those holes closer to the tip will be needed for tying down something on the roof rack of your rig.&&I don't know why more belt makers don't design their belts this way. Oh yes, it is because they care about profit more than their customer. They would rather you need to purchase a new one every year. We design our belts to be sturdy and durable, a quality that should be in all leather belts. We wanted to do better than good leather belts, so we make a great belt, in fact, the Best Leather Belts.

Three Layers

This leather belt was not just made with one layer of full grain leather, but with three. Even quality companies just use two layers of quality leather and then put a layer of some filler in between to get the edges raised. I designed this belt with a layer of full grain in the middle too. Even though you can't see it, you have a nice feeling that this thick leather belt is quality through and through. This doesn't matter to most people, but it matters to me, and I stand behind it.

Exactly what I needed to

Exactly what I needed to comfortably concealed carry. I have purchased several from other reputed makers/ dealers in holsters and other similar equipment. This is, by far, the most solid and the highest quality.

Beautiful

My coffee brown tow belt just came in, and it’s exactly as described, really beautiful. The quality is excellent, and the leather grain is awesome. Read the sizing directions carefully, and if you do, you should get a perfect fit, as I did. (I did call customer service just to be sure about the sizing, and they cleared things right up for me.) I am adding this belt to my collection of saddleback heirlooms for my descendants. Thanks!

Sturdy and made to last

I work Fire/Ems and this is my go to belt. It is solid enough for me to grab and put my pants on quickly without the top part of my pants folding inward when we get toned out. The hole pattern was surprisingly the best feat, as you can make more precise adjustments!

Quality leather - runs large

Very impressed with the sturdiness and quality of the leather. I run slimmer in the waist (30-32 pants waist size), and the belt is a bit too big on the tightest notch. I asked if they made a smaller size but they said they didn’t, and I could take it to someone to have another hole punched in to fit me. Not a fan of the new hole punch option, since that leaves a lot of material after the notch that I have to deal with. The belt length Needs to be shortened for me. The belt is high quality, but be advised that it’s not easily sized down to a 30-32” waist. I’ll still wear it on occasion, but not as much as I was hoping I could. Hope this helps!
