Fenced In Belt C10813

You want a belt that looks like it came off a ranch and still sits right after a long day. This one is smooth leather with a leather barbed wire inlay running through the strap, so it has an edge a plain belt does not. The leather is firm and structured, so it holds its line at your waist instead of curling over.

The etched buckle picks up the barbed wire theme, so the hardware looks like part of the design rather than an afterthought. Put it on with bootcut jeans and your cowboy boots for rodeo weekends or a concert, or with a plain western shirt to let the inlay do the talking.

Highlights

• Leather barbed wire inlay for real ranch character
• Etched buckle that matches the design
• Firm, structured leather that holds its line
• Smooth finish that wipes clean
• Sized by waist measurement and true to size

Why choose a belt with an inlay

An inlay is a strip of contrasting leather set into the belt, and it is one of the easiest ways to add Western character without going overboard. A plain strap goes with everything, but an inlay tells people what you are about before you say a word, which is why it is a favorite for rodeo, ranch work and nights out.

Firm leather is the better choice for a belt you wear every day. Softer leather stretches and curls over time, while a structured strap keeps the line of your pants straight and the buckle sitting where you set it. This one suits the working cowhand, the weekend rider and the person who wants a belt that stays put all day without a second look.

How to use it

Run the strap through your belt loops with the inlay facing out, then fasten the buckle so the tail sits neatly through the keeper. Center the buckle at your waist so it sits flat under a shirt. Because the belt is sized by waist measurement, order the number you already wear and check the fit with the pants you plan to wear it with before a long day.

Good to know

• Wear it with bootcut jeans and everyday cowboy boots for a look that works at the rodeo or a concert. A plain western shirt keeps the inlay as the focus.
• Order your usual waist measurement. The belt runs true to size, so there is no need to go up a size for comfort.
• Wipe off dust and mud with a damp cloth, then let the leather dry naturally. Condition it now and then to keep it supple and the inlay from cracking.
• Hang it on a belt hook or lay it flat instead of crumpling it into a drawer, so the strap keeps its shape.
