What is a belt? Is it merely a device to hold your pants up, we think not after all you could wear suspenders for that. Done well in quality leather it’s that detail of clothing like quality shoes, which enhance your outfit. And at the end of the day doesn’t it all come down to the details? We mixed it up a bit with these new Horween x Leffot Elston belts.
The first is Double Shoulders Wooly Chromexcel in Black 9/10 oz. weight with Scotch grain print and Nickel roller buckle. Wooly Chromexcel is hardy leather made to wear for years and the Scotch grain print ads texture and shows less wear. This is the ideal belt to wear with the Rider Boot Co. Black Grain Chukka.

Belts are measured in the following way.
The second is Illini Latigo in Burgundy 7/8 oz weight with antiqued brass roller buckle. Latigo leather is full grain, fat liquored, mill dyed, pasted, hand glazed and aniline finished. That’s a lot of processes and the result is a beautiful smooth strap in a deep *pull up burgundy. This belt is an excellent less formal alternative to a shell cordovan belt and looks great with color 8 cordovan shoes or boots.

If the burgundy belt was 1 1/4 or 1 1/8 I’d probably buy it – looks like a really nice color. But 1 1/2 is quite wide, isn’t it?
That grain would look great with my new Riders…

It’s the same width as our other Horween x Leffot belts. The Alden cordovan belt 35 mm may be more to your liking.

I thought the same thing.
Awesome. Belts are a great addition for Leffot.
If I am a size 32 waist would you recommend the 34? Would you say these belts are geared more towards denim as opposed to dress trousers?
Mike
Yes you need to size up to 34. I think these are best as a casual belt.

How do I buy this belt in size 36?
