The Montana Belt C13715

The Montana belt suits the person who spends the morning in the barn and the afternoon in town. Full grain leather takes scuffs, sweat and saddle time, and the tooled scroll accent gives it enough detail for a sale day or a dinner out. At 1 1/2 inches wide, it sits solid under a pair of jeans.

The billets are genuine leather too, so the strap keeps its shape instead of stretching out over the season. The polished buckle has antique-inspired details in an antique silver finish, which suits a well-used saddle better than a bright, new shine. It is proudly made in the USA with global parts.

Why choose a tooled full grain belt

Full grain leather is the top layer of the hide with the grain left intact, which is why it is tough and why it ages well. It will not look as slick as a corrected-grain belt on day one, but it develops character as it gets used, and it is the kind of leather that holds up to barn work.

Tooled designs are for the person who wants a Western look with some detail. A scroll accent looks dressed up on a pressed shirt and right at home on a chore coat. It is a good everyday belt for ranch hands, sale barn regulars and anyone who wants a belt that does not look plain.

How to use it

Pull the tail through the buckle from the front and set the buckle where your belt line sits. Firm leather takes a few days to settle into your waist, so wear it around the house before a long day. Belt size is usually your pant waist plus about two inches, so check your jeans before you order.

Good to know

• Wear it with jeans and boots for chores, or with a pressed shirt for a night out. Straight-leg denim keeps the scroll detail easy to see.
• Wipe the leather with a dry cloth after a dusty day and let it air out away from direct heat so it stays supple.
• Condition the leather now and then to keep the tooling from drying out and cracking.
• Keep the buckle clean and dry so the antique finish keeps its even look, and store the belt hanging or rolled to protect the tooling.
• Fit: measure a belt that fits you now from the fold at the buckle to the hole you use most, and choose that number.
