Making a belt that lasts a lifetime.
A belt is a typical product that you use every day without extra notice. Unless the belt you bought a year ago is getting worn and damaged... A lot of belts you buy in a department store are made of 2 layers split leather and often not the best quality.
The Duke & Sons Leather belts are made from 3-4mm full grain, double butt, from the best quality. When you see the whole hide, you already see the nice top grain. I would like to share the making process to give you an idea of how the belts are made. And for sure: this belt will last more than a lifetime!
