Belts!

We're working hard to expand our Men's collection.  One of the newest products on the way are belts!  The buckles are hand-cast recycled brass and the belts are full grain leather.  They're so sweet!  They'll soon be for sale on the ExChange Tour and online.

The buckles are made from scrap brass like this.  They also melt down old pad locks, sink faucets and anything else brass that's been thrown out.


It's all melted down in this furnace and then they pour the liquid brass into a mold.


The buckles come out of the mold looking like this and then they're filed and buffed.


This is the final product.  The belts are hand cut from dyed cow hide.
