Quarter Tan Embossed Wave of Entropy Leather Belt
A hot wax stuffed double bridle leather in Quarter Tan, similar to a London Tan. Embossed with our signature Waves of Entropy design. Raw natural edge.
We took our War Penguin pattern, heavily influenced by Dazzle camouflage, and blended it with The Great Wave off Kanagawa by Hokusai. The most intricate emboss we've attemted. It took our engraver 6 months to successfully render this deisgn in a solid brass wheel.

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.
Hot Stuffed Wax Embossed 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 belt. Use a leather balm to even it out its age and deepen its color. Smaller details in the leather may become less noticable over time.
Foil Print Embossed Leather: Foil prints will wear harder with abrasion and wear but they are still very tough, aided by two coats of our proprietary protective finsih are applied. You will see more noticable wear and tear where the buckle connects to the leather.
All Other Embossed Leathers: Expect your leather strap to develope a patina and mold to your body.
