Taos Horsehide Belt No.142 | Whiskey

This belt was proudly designed and built in our own San Diego, California leather shop. Each style is constructed in its unique process that is executed mostly by hand. All edges are burnished and polished and several styles are hand-stained one by one, the way belts used to be made. We finish them with premium made solid-brass buckles, mostly imported from Italy to create a true artisan crafted belt, 100% designed and built in the USA.

Our Horween® horsehide strips are made from the thicker back half of the horse hide and are tanned alongside Horween’s Cordovan Shells for the first 45-days. This 7-9 oz. leather is 100% veg tanned and hot stuffed to create a very dense and stout leather. The "strip" runs against the natural grain and has minimal stretch, making it ideal for belts, straps, trim and handles. A true "Artisan" tanned leather that is tanned, start to finish, in the USA at the Horween® tannery.

Belts are sized differently in Europe than in America.  We use a traditional American belt sizing scale. Our size will measure from the end of the leather where it folds around the buckle, to the middle hole (usually there are 5 holes) and 1" added. So as an example, a size 38 belt would measure 39" to the center hole to the back of the leather when flat. 

HOW TO MEASURE FOR YOUR SIZE
The most accurate way to determine your belt size is to thread a flexible tape measure through the belt loops of your pants (as you would with a belt) and mark the spot where the tape reaches exactly one time around your hip. Pick the belt size which is closest to your hip circumference. Remember to put on a pair of pants that fits you well and represents what you plan to wear. Note that the thickness of the pants material can influence the measurements. We recommend having the belt hit the 2nd or 3rd hole from the tip on day one. This will allow for some stretch in the belt over time.

MEASURE ONE OF YOUR EXISTING BELTS
You can also get your belt size with your current belt even if it does not fit perfectly: simply use a measuring tape or ruler to measure the length from the end of the leather, before the buckle to the center hole on your belt or the hole that fits you most comfortably - it will likely be the spot to show the most wear and tear.

SIZE UP FROM YOUR JEANS
The other option would be to size up 2 inches from your jean size. So if you were a size 36 in most jeans you would order a 38 belt.
