Chestnut Belt
A hot wax stuffed double bridle leather in Chestnut brown. Raw natural edge. It has a light waxy finish to catch the light and draw just a little attention. The oils and waxes in this leather move fluidly as you move. This is a belt meant to be worn hard. The more wear and abrasion the more beautiful it becomes as the waxes and oils are always in flux. Add a little leather balm over time to darker your belt and replenish its suppleness.

Belt life and care instructions:
Like any belt you will see more wear in the middle of your belt where it curves to your body, and where the buckle connects to the leather when cinched. Belts that don't curve to your body generally have a synthetic core. Our belts are 100% natural full grain leather. NO split leather, NO composite leather.
- Leather belt gets slightly wet - Wipe off with clean cloth.
- Leather belt gets soaking wet - Do not wear while wet. Lay flat to dry. Do not apply heat.
- Leather belt gets dirty - Use a lightly damp soft cloth to wipe away dirt. Let air dry.
What to expect:
All leather belts curve and form to your body as natural leather should. Your belt will show more wear and tear where it connects to the buckle and where it ineracts with your belt loops.
Bison Leather: Over time your bison belt will curve and form to your body but still remain very strong because of its veg tan leather backing, both glued and stitched to the bison leather. The leather will develope a nice sheen on the surface.
Hot Stuffed Wax Leather: Starts with a clean finsih and quickly begins to develop a patina as it is used and ages. Expect it to scratch easily and develope a lot of character. This is not a leather you treat nicely. Throw it around and watch it become your favorite guitar strap. Use a leather balm to even it out its age and deepen its color.
All Other Embossed Leathers: Expect your leather strap to develope a patina and mold to your body.
