The Benjamin - 1.5 inch Money Belt

Why this belt outlasts the rest

Most cheap belts are not real leather. They are scraps glued together, then wrapped in a thin coating. That coating cracks. The belt splits. You buy a new one every year.

Ours is different. We use full-grain leather, the strongest part of the hide. One solid strap, no glue, no filler. It bends without cracking. It gets better with age.

That is why we can back it for life. We are not guessing. We know what it is made of, because we made it.

This belt is cut from full-grain water buffalo hide. One strap, no splits, no fillers, no coatings.

“I looked for a good heavy belt for concealed carry and came across this one when I received it within a few days of ordering it was exactly what I needed and fit perfectly with my pants size”

“Nice belt, well made and attractive. Sturdy brass buckle, with roller. Unfortunately, I returned because of length. My other belts are 38" to fit 34" pants. This "38" inch belt was 42" from buckle to middle of seven holes, not 38. Just 4" too long for me.”

FAQs

How do I swap my buckle?

Choose Removable screws when you order your belt, and you can swap in a different buckle anytime. Secure screws are locked in place. Here's how to swap it:

Does it need a break-in period?

It is comfortable on day one and softens over the first few weeks. Full-grain leather molds to you. It will not crack the way coated belts do.

Will it scratch or scuff?

Full-grain leather picks up light marks with wear, and that is the point. Instead of cracking or peeling the way coated belts do, it darkens and develops a patina that is unique to you. Most light marks rub out with a thumb; the rest become character.

Buy it once. We handle the rest.

Every LTHR belt is built for a lifetime of wear, and we stand behind it for life. If it ever fails from a defect in materials or workmanship, send it back and we repair or replace it, free.
