Introducing a belt that merges artisan leathercraft with the bold character of a vintage cast-brass buckle. This one-of-a-kind piece is built for someone who appreciates heirloom-level materials and meaningful design.
At the center of the belt is a square solid-brass buckle featuring a stylized lion in raised relief. The artwork has an ancient, almost Near Eastern aesthetic — with strong lines, geometric muscle detailing, and a proud, upright stance. The recessed contours show a natural aged turquoise-green patina, highlighting the design and giving the buckle the dimensional, time-worn look only true brass can develop.
This style of casting — heavy, solid, squared, and decorated with symbolic animals — was popular in mid-century Western and artisan buckles, often produced in small craft batches. The lion, long associated with strength, courage, and guardianship, adds a timeless, symbolic edge to the piece. No two buckles age alike, making this belt genuinely one-of-one.
Paired with a full-grain, vegetable-tanned black leather strap, the belt balances ruggedness with refinement. The leather will break in beautifully, gaining softness and character as it molds to its owner.
Your belt will be custom sized and fitted with a Chicago screw, allowing the buckle to be swapped for another at any time.
