Trophy Heart Belt 815BD

Little cowgirls and cowboys notice their belts, and this one gives them something to be proud of. Full grain leather with embossed details and an antique silver oval buckle that shows a heart design finishes an everyday outfit, whether it is jeans for school, a cowgirl dress for church or a Saturday at the rodeo.

The buckle is a hinge and hook style, and it is removable, so the belt is easy to work with when a child is dressing alone. The tapered end runs through the loops neatly, and the belt is 1 1/8 inches wide, a width that suits a smaller waist.

Highlights

Why a kids' belt is worth the upgrade

A cheap kids' belt stretches out in a season, and the buckle bends. Full grain leather is the outer layer of the hide with the tightest grain, and it holds its shape through recess, car seats and barn chores.

Kids outgrow belts faster than almost any other clothing. A removable buckle is handy when you are sorting out which belt fits next, and a leather belt with a good buckle is the kind you can pass down to a younger sibling.

How to wear it

Measure around your child's waist where the belt will sit, then choose the size that matches. Thread the tip through the loops, line up the buckle in the center front, and fasten the hinge and hook. Check that the belt is snug enough to stay put without pinching.

Hang the belt on a hook or lay it flat in a drawer when it is not in use, so the embossing keeps its shape.

Good to know

• Pair it with jeans and a plain tee for school, or with a cowgirl dress for church and rodeo days.
• Fit: check the hole fit now, and plan on a new size when the belt runs out of holes. A child who is growing will need a longer belt before the belt looks worn.
• Care: wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth, keep it away from direct heat, and condition the leather a couple of times a year so it stays soft through play.
• What goes with it: a western shirt and a pair of kids' boots finish the look, and a plain belt is the right pick on a day with a lot of running around.
