This sturdy 10-11 oz BLACK drum dyed bridle leather belt is the same premium product that I've made for thousands of SCA and Ren-Faire participants. It is sealed the full length on all sides to prevent die transfer onto your attire.   It measures 1 1/2" and approx 72" (or more) in length so that it can be knotted in Half Windsor/SCA fashion.   It comes complete with an appropriately sized Chrome Steel 0-ring for closure.

Options:  INCLUDED FOR FREE.  NO EXTRA CHARGE.   (it's just good belt-making.)

• Ring:  I can also build your belt with a Solid Brass 0-ring if your prefer.  Chrome Steel is the Default choice.
  

• Color: being Black, Chestnut, Golden, and Medium Brown.  Black is the Standard.
  

• Length: This belt is a minimum of 72" but we generally have longer straps on hand.  Just ask, and we'll make it happen.  Shorter is very easy too, but please be careful and don't make it too small for you.  The formula is WAIST + 12 inches + about how long you'll want the tail.  If we don't hear from you we'll assume that 72+/-" is good as that fits most folks pretty well.
  

• Finished end: Square cut, diagonal cut, or English V.  We'll trim the end with a diagonal cut unless you tell us otherwise.

• Width: This belt is 1-1/2 inches wide.

How to Tie One On: Some customers have mentioned that they don't know how to tie these belts.  While the half windsor knot is very easy once you've done it, sometimes it takes a little teaching the first time.  Here's a graphic that will help first time wearers.

Cautionary tales..... there are other auctions out there that aren't selling what you'd probably want.

Thickness/Weight of Leather
Belts of much thinner grade leather have been sold on ebay for something in the neighborhood of $8. Understand that this maker is using 2.5 oz GARMENT LEATHER that is less than 1/3 of the thickness of our belts. Buyer beware, you get what you pay for.

Length of Leather
We've noticed some auctions for 55-65 inch belts.  A person with a 36" waist will have only a 6 inch tail after the half Windsor knot uses up a foot (it does).  So if you're a really tiny person, or want a really short tail end that'll be fine.  However, be aware that using 10-20" less leather is how their prices are slightly lower.

Width of Leather
There are 1" belts out there selling for the same price as our 1 1/2s..  If you'd prefer a more slender belt, we will happily build you a 1" AND you are welcome to take a $2 DISCOUNT off our Buy it Now Price when you checkout.  Hey while you are comparing, check out the ring size on those other auctions... it's so BIG as to be silly.  Why not get one of ours with your choice of an appropriately sized Chrome ring or even a terrific piece of real historical belt hardware in the form of a BRONZE ring that was used in Spanish Naval uniforms more than 100 years ago.  A neat option for as long my supply of bronze rings holds out.  And NO-ONE has them except Dark Victory Armory.  Really.
