Our NEW Taos Horsehide Belt No.80 is another perfect "Jean" belt with a vintage twist. The Taos is made from a dense and thick (10-12oz) Horween® horsehide strip (the section that sits about the shell or butt of the horse hide).
Cut at a true 1-½" width, embossed with a vintage embossing pattern then hand stained, oiled, antiqued and hand-buffed to give them a top shine. You just don't see belts made like this today. Each belt is truly leather art, completely handmade in our San Diego, California leather shop.
HORWEEN® HORSEHIDE LEATHER 10-12oz. | Premium Belting Leather
Tanned in Chicago since 1905, Horween® is a premium leather. The horsehide used in our belts come from the "strip" section of the hide that sits directly above the "Shell" or butt of the horse. The horizontal "strip" runs against the natural grain and has minimal stretch, making it ideal for straps and belts. It's a full vegetable tanned leather in a stout 10-12oz. leather that is ultra strong and naturally smooth.
COLORS & ITALIAN HARDWARE
Choose from four color options, all equally nice and uniquely different. After staining, each belt is edge beveled and polished before attaching a custom made and classic octagon shaped "Garrison" style polished solid-brass buckle (Made In Italy).

Designed & Built In USA - Horween® Horsehide "strips" are the section of the hide that sits directly above the "Shell" or butt of the horse. These strips are tanned alongside Horween’s Cordovan for the first 45 days using a slow and gentle veg tan / hot stuffed process to create a very dense leather. The horizontal "strip" runs against the natural grain and has minimal stretch, making it ideal for straps and belts. It's a full vegetable tanned leather in a stout 8-9oz. leather that is ultra strong and naturally smooth. It's an "old-school" style leather that is firm and and smooth with an extremely tight grain that does not allow for much stretch. It's ideal for belts, straps and small leather goods.
