For that sailor in your life, a great Real Leather belt handmade with sailboats, seagulls, ocean, lighthouse, colorful head-sail, with a name spot for the skipper's name, boat name, or yacht club initials....

Made from the best American cow hide I can buy, hand picked, cut into the belt strap, then stamped, dyed, waxed, and the edges rolled (burnished) to a very smooth and shinny edge.

VERY IMPORTANT........READ ABOUT HOW TO ORDER THE CORRECT SIZE...SCROLL DOWN

We use an acrylic wax that's highly water and stain resistant. All designs can be done in any color or combination of colors you would like and any length up to 46 inches for this price. Larger than 46" add $1.00 per inch up to 70ish inches.

I frequently see belts that I've made that are 15 plus years old, sure you can tell they have some mileage on them, but their owners just don't want to give them up.

If you want a FANTASTIC belt, let me make it for you. every one of them are unique unto themselves, even if I try to make two exactly alike, they never turn out quite the same.

Any 1.5" wide belt can be made into a money belt.

Hand made and Ships from Portland, Oregon

And remember NO SALES TAX.

Comes with (if needed) Gold or silver colored regular tong style belt buckle, as in the 9th picture above if you want it. Mention in the NOTE TO SELLER box that you would like the buckle

See the last photo for "HOW TO MEASURE FOR BELT SIZE"

A few words about sizing a Belt,
All sizes listed in the Dimensions list are the CENTER HOLE,
with 2 holes on each side, 1" apart, for a total of 5 holes.
If you want more holes, just let me know. I always joke that holes are FREE.
AND they are!

As a general rule you get a belt that's 2" (inches) bigger than your pants size...if you wear a 34 inch pant waist, you would get a 36" belt.

I SHIP FOR BELT SIZE!!!!!!!

BUT.....BUT.....BUT, (there's always a BUT)...the above rule is accurate ONLY if you use a standard TONG style buckle like the one that is in the photos.

If you have what is called a TROPHY style buckle (that's a flat oblong or rectangle buckle with a short peg on the back that goes through the hole in the belt), you would get a belt the SAME size as your pants waist. Because the longer buckle adds the 2" to the belt. If you use this style buckle and it seams to be longer than 3 to 4 inches, send me a picture of it with a tape measure next to it so I can see just how large it is and I'll adjust the belt accordingly for you.

I no longer include a keeper with the belt. And haven't for over 10 years.
The reason behind that is two-fold, with most jeans nowadays the 1st belt loop is so close to the pants snap and zipper, it's actually in the way of the keeper. So it simply isn't needed. I probably get only a couple of request a year for one, and secondly the cost of leather just keeps going up and up, so to help save cost I stopped giving the keepers. At my live shows I have them available for $2.00.

As an ETSY customer.....If you want one please mention it in the NOTE TO SELLER box at check out..... I will include it ...... no charge...
IF YOU DON'T MENTION THAT YOU WANT ONE IT WILL NOT COME WITH THE BELT.
