leather belt

Few clothing styles and accessories have the versatility and universal appeal to stay relevant across generations. As times changes, so do the fashions. All of the effort that goes into designing, creating and marketing a fashion trend will almost inevitably be tossed to the wayside. From powdered wigs to leopard print spandex, we have countless examples of this tendency.

One staple that has endured over hundreds of years, however, is the leather belt. Cowboys, rock stars and CEOs all have their own way to flaunt this iconic accessory. As fashions seem to change on a week-to-week basis, leather belts have proven adaptable to the style changes.

A Product of Cowboy Lore

The word “cowboy” evokes a series of indelible images: the wide-brimmed hat, the pointed boots with spurs, the sidearms and gleaming belt buckle. But how much of that cowboy mystique has any basis in reality? Could it be that some of the details were embellished later, after the Wild West was relegated to history books? It comes as a shock to some that the cowboy belt buckle did not come into fashion until the early Western movies of the 20th century.

Ranger belts are more a matter or practicality and aesthetics than authenticity. Although these accessories enjoy an astounding level of popularity among modern-day cowboys, they would have been an unknown commodity in the Old West. Wranglers and outlaws stuck to suspenders and more simplistic forms of belt. Some credit the Mexican cowboys for being first to introduce the silver-accented belts that would go on to inspire ranger belts.

Earn a Brown Belt in the Art of Job Hunting

In today’s increasingly competitive job market, a person’s appearance often provides that all-important edge. Few employers would hire an unkempt, unshaven applicant, but appropriate clothing choices are crucial as well. Different pants are complemented by corresponding belts, so it’s best to have a variety of preplanned ensembles at the ready.

Black belts match with black pants, but most khaki combos require a brown belt. Because of its versatile nature, there’s a distinct advantage to owning a leather belt. After a successful job interview, the belt can be worn as part of a more casual look.

Choosing the Highest Quality Belt

Belts are one of the most common and enduring accessories because they are not only fashionable but they are also useful. That’s why they are equally common on the fashion runway and the street. Unlike some fashion accessories, belts actually do serve a very concrete benefit. This is especially true if you’re looking for an easy way to secure your gun. If that’s the case, make sure that you invest in the highest quality belt possible.

If quality is your goal, look into leather belts. Because they are made of leather, they will stand up to daily use very well. Leather, after all, is one of the sturdier materials, and even with constant use and exposure to elements like harsh weather, it will maintain its aesthetic look and its usability. That’s why it’s the common choice of fashion designers and gun holster designers alike.

Is Your Belt Well Made?

It’s hard to find a leather ranger belt that can stand up to the elements, especially when working in extreme weather conditions.  A tough leather ranger belt is one that can get wet without stretching out and becoming loose.  The belt should also maintain moisture to prevent against cracking,

A well-made leather ranger belt should last more than 20 years, keep its original color, and maintain a rust-free buckle indefinitely.

belt.jpgWhen I got my husband his gun holster he was ecstatic.  The gun law in my state allows for law abiding citizens to have concealed weapons on their person with a permit, which is great for my husband who feels like he needs to protect us from the dangers of the world.  I love that my husband is so thoughtful and that he loves his family so much.

So for his birthday, I got him a matching leather belt for his holster and he just about died, he liked it so much.  I am really happy I found such a good provider of leather goods. I think I am changing his style, little by little.  He is such a rugged looking guy now.
