ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
These “Hornback” Crocodile belts are the best we have seen anywhere and that includes several we inspected at two leading department stores that sell for more than twice what these do. We have wanted to add crocodile belts to our line-up for some time but could not find a manufacturer that met our extremely high standards until we found this small batch, custom maker.
These belts are made from one continuous, extra thick piece of crocodile hide and this alone sets them apart from most of the crocodile belts out there. Many of the belts we looked at were made up of small scraps of hide left over from making other products that are then glued or sewn together.
Every one of these belts includes the highly sought after Hornback portion of the hide that consists of the two higher, more pronounced ridges that run along either side of the spine. This ridge starts right behind the eyes and ends well into the tail and is the most dramatic and durable portion of the hide. It typically goes to exclusive boot makers or the fashion houses. One mature Crocodile yields just two Hornback belts and this is the only type of belt our maker offers.
His workmanship is flawless. The tanning is expertly done and provides a beautiful luster that highlights the individual scales and rich honey brown coloration. The heavy-duty solid brass hardware, strategically placed rivets and heavy duty stitching mean these belts will last a lifetime. I have worn one of these belts almost every day for the past year and it looks as good as the day I put it on. We offer both the styles below in 2” size increments from 32” to 44”. You can special order smaller and larger sizes with a 12 week delivery time.
Ranger Belt
A slightly narrower 1.5” Ranger belt that offers a more casual look and features the split leather tongue that slips under the buckle area for added strength that is common to all true Ranger belts. This model has a detachable buckle in case you want to adorn it with a special buckle from one of the custom makers. For added appeal, this belt has two Hornback ridges set into the double thick reinforcing panels on opposite ends of the belt.
Dress Belt
We also offer a slightly thicker 2” traditionally styled Dress belt that has a more formal look. This model has a detachable buckle in case you want to adorn it with a special buckle from one of the custom makers. The two largest Hornbacks on the Dress belt are positioned on the buckle side.
The two styles fit into standard belt loops and can transition from the field to a night out on the town with ease. Both the Ranger and Dress models are spectacular creations.
