Our Vintage Embossed Horsehide Belt is special in so many ways. Although we have made variations of this, we have never hand-stained, embossed and stone-washed a belt. This is a NEW LE version using a 1970’s embossing plate with “Mushrooms, FLowers & Butterflies”. A one-of-a-kind belt you will not find anywhere else.
We start with Horween® horsehide vegetable tanned leather in a stout 8/9oz. Each belt strip is cut to 1-½” wide then embossed with a vintage (60-70 years old, rebuilt roller press.. The 50-year old embossing plate is a An American Eagle pattern with the wings spanned out with great details. We then bevel the edges, hand stain the belt a light tan color and attach a solid-brass buckle that we import from Italy. The belts are then stone-washed them in Los Angeles and brought back for oiling and dressing. They are genuine vintage pieces that you will not find anywhere else.
The solid-brass buckle is attached with Chicago screws and sourced from an Italian hardware manufacturer in Florence, Italy. All 100% cut & finished in the USA.
