This fine leather mechanics belt is handmade using high quality full grain Hermann Oak leather. This belt is for mechanics looking for a belt that will not scratch as you lean against a vehicle. Also an excellent choice for those with metal allergies as the design keeps the very small amount of exposed metal from touching your skin.
A steel plate is hand stitched and riveted in place with a small hook protruding towards the inside of the belt, no metal is exposed on the outside of the belt. The leather is 8-9oz (3.5mm thick) and 1.25 inches wide, hand dyed, edges are rounded, dyed black and burnished for a smooth surface that slides easily through the belt loops on pants, belt end is cut to a rounded V shape.
The belt has 5 holes placed one inch apart for ease of size adjustment.
Color options: Black, Chocolate, Dark Brown, Mahogany, Light Brown, Natural and Tan.
A natural belt is undyed leather and will darken with age and use. Contact with oils, water and sun will darken the leather to a beautiful patina unique to each belt and wearer. To allow this to happen this belt is left completely unfinished, if you wish to add some protection to the belt a coating of Mink oil or Neatsfoot oil. Either of these oils will darken the leather similar to that of a natural patina, while still allowing the leather to naturally patina further with use and age.

Sizing:
Size of the belt is not based on pant size, but waist size. The most accurate way to measure the size needed for a new belt is to measure from the end of the belt buckle to the hole you use on your current belt.
