Authentic belts for Jeans: Quick Release Belts<br />
The buckles of these belts made of solid brass are made<br />
by our English supplier based on the design of old firemen’s<br />
belts. The buckle had to be easy to open in an<br />
emergency with one movement, as the heavy equipment<br />
was fixed to the belt. Made of a piece of bridle leather,<br />
therefore very hard wearing and markedly more<br />
long lasting than stitched belts. Width 3.1 cm. Available<br />
in waist sizes 80–115 cm (5 cm intervals).<br />

9 Appenzeller Belts<br />
Even though this belt has been very trendy for years, it<br />
is actually a part of Swiss tradition. This craft, undertaken<br />
by Alpine farmers called the “Sennen”, has formed<br />
an integral part of the Appenzell culture for more<br />
than 200 years. These products are handmade from leather<br />
and metal fittings (metal plates with Alpine motifs).<br />
It used to be braces that were mainly produced and the<br />
more motifs (brass plates) the braces have the more<br />
affluent the wearer is deemed to be. The belts are made<br />
of black leather with decorative metal parts in solid<br />
brass plate with the Alpine ascent featuring shepherd,<br />
dog and cows. The belts are made in a “Sennen” production<br />
shop in Appenzell. The belts are also available in<br />
a narrower 3 cm and a wider 4 cm version with waist<br />
measurements of 75–110 (5 cm intervals).<br />
<strong>well</strong> <strong>chosen</strong>: English Bridle Leather Belts<br />
Each belt is made from one piece of saddle leather and the production takes<br />
place in a small leather-manufacturing company based in Worcestershire. As<br />
the process does not involve any stitching at the edges, the belts are exceedingly<br />
heavy-duty and last for much longer than stitched ones. The buckles are<br />
made of solid brass.<br />
