Belts—Just like Honey

A beautiful honey colored leather belt should be a staple item in any gentleman’s wardrobe. With minimal care, these brown beauties will improve with age—turning a deep caramel color. You can find nice men's belts at most chain stores, however, for the same price, you can invest in a handmade American belt. The quality is unsurpassed—plus, you're supporting our economy and American craftsmen. Here’s a few of Mr. Peacock’s favorite honey colored belts.

The Wiley Brothers, in Charlottesville, Virginia, exquisitely handcraft their leather goods—and this equestrian inspired Classic 4-loop Belt is no exception. More information here.

This classic Regular Belt is handmade by Corter Leather—a one man shop in New England. The nickel and nickel plated hardware is removable, so you can change the buckle if you like. Order one here.

This Anchor Belt belt isn't from an artisanal leather goods company, however, Mr. Peacock included it because of it's charming brass buckle. It's on sale here.

With minimal care, a quality hand crafted leather belt will last a lifetime and actually improve with age. If you're a "black belt only" kind of guy, don't fret—many of these honey colored belts are available in other colors too.
