It has been two months, and the belt's character is already coming through. The way it wears is incredibly unique and pleasing. Its initial appearance was impressive, but the way it's holding up really speaks to its quality. Can't wait to see how it performs in the long run.

— Gabriel N.

Product Info

Uniquely Upscale Elegance 

Two of our most elegant, luxurious, and exclusive leathers come together in a refined belt that is perfect for formal occasions when you want to dress to your best and every detail matters. Combining a regal black with a stately brown, it will be the perfect accessory on any occasion when you want to give the best possible impression. 

To emphasize the formal appearance of this belt, all stitching is tone-on-tone. 

Luxurious Smooth Black Boxcalf

Dress it up or dress it down, there's very little you can't do with a smooth black leather belt. The decadent boxcalf leather we have employed imparts this belt with the plushest, softest, and most elegant hand, ideal for gentlemen who knows that the smallest details can have the biggest impact.  

This stately leather is also available as a conventional single-sided belt

The Look & Scent of Reindeer Leather

Partake of a legacy of luxury with the brown side of this dress belt, made from leather meticulously crafted from iconic and historic "reindeer" leather made in Britain’s last traditional oak bark tannery. This leather embodies four centuries of artisanal heritage, featuring the signature diamond-hatched grain and a sumptuous finish imparted by natural birch oils.

Also known as "Cuir de Russie," it is prized for its iconic appearance and unique qualities. Renowned for its water resistance, distinctive woody aroma, and exceptional durability, as this leather ages, its appearance will deepens with a rich patina and subtle bloom, the ideal accessory for those who demand history, rarity, and refinement in every detail.

Leather with a Legacy

This "reindeer" leather is a modern recreation of an 18th-century material recovered from the wreck of the Metta Catharina, a ship that sank off the coast of Devon, England, in 1786 while carrying a precious cargo of Russian leather from Saint Petersburg to Genoa.

Nearly 200 years after it sank, divers discovered the ship in 1973, finding hundreds of rolls of Russian leather astonishingly well preserved beneath the mud of the sea floor, their unique characteristics and distinct birch oil scent still intact. The discovery provided a rare window into the lost craft of Russian leather tanning; a method renowned for durability, aroma, and water-resistance but thought to have vanished after the Russian Revolution.

Studying these recovered hides, our tanners meticulously analyzed and replicated the Russian techniques, successfully reviving the legendary leather for contemporary use, made, this time, from decadent calf leather rather than reindeer hide.

The Boxcalf Leather: Plush and Decadent

The hides for the black boxcalf side of the belt come exclusively from calves. Calf skin is superior to cowhide in every way when it comes to belt leather:

  • Exceptionally soft touch
  • Dazzling grain appearance
  • Durable flexibility.

Bred To Be The Best

Because these calves were raised in the colder climate of the Alps, there are fewer pests to bite their hides, meaning that the final hide has fewer blemishes.

From these hides, only the choicest sections of the croupon, or bend, of the hide are actually used. The croupon corresponds roughly to the central and lower back of the calf, excluding the spine area, because this section of skin affords the smoothest, softest, and most consistent leathers.

A Luxury Tannery

The hide is then prepared in the same tannery employed by several high-end fashion houses, but that's not why we picked the tannery. We picked it for its heritage of excellence, dedication to craft, and impeccable results, which truly speak for themselves.

The "Reindeer" Leather: Distinct and Fragrant

Although referred to as "reindeer" leather, this nomenclature is a bit of a misnomer. This leather is a reproduction of an ancient method of Russian leather production, which historically employed reindeer hides but also calf skins and occasionally horse, sheep, or goat hides.

Reviving an Ancient Tradition

Our version is made from only the finest calf skins. After soaking in a lime pit, each hide is denuded of hairs by hand and then soaked in pits of oak, willow, and birch bark. We have found that this process most closely replicates the ancient Russian techniques.

Each piece is than dyed, cross hatched, and dressed with a combination of natural oils, including birch oil, which imparts an iconic, slightly smokey masculine fragrance that has been associated with refinement and exclusivity for centuries.

Historic Oak Bark Tannage

This leather was tanned in Britain's only remaining oak bark tannery, operated by the same family for six generations. Oak bark tannage takes time, but it is also a gentler process that naturally protects and emphasizes the fibers that give this leather such a remarkable appearance.

Dedicated fans will remember that Raphael commissioned a pair of shoes made from this exquisite and striking leather.

Please Note: Over time, this leather will develop small, whitish spots. These spots are created by the waxes in the leather coagulating on the surface. This is not a defect and is simply a natural process that comes with how this leather is made. Simply wipe the spots with a soft, clean cloth to remove them.

Additional Information

  • Each belt is about 4.3 mm / 4/24" thick.
  • Each belt is about 29 mm / 1" wide.
  • Each belt weighs between 90 and 120 grams / 3 to 4.2 ounces.

  • These holes are spaced about 2.5 cm / 1" apart
  • Please note that if you pin the belt through its last hole, it can accommodate waists of an additional 5cm / 2", although we do not recommend wearing the belt in this way as it can appear distended or stubby.

Cutting Your Belt to Size

  • Our belts are designed to be cut down to size from their unfinished edge so that they fit you perfectly. We offer individual sizing to reduce waste where possible.
  • Try the uncut belt on for size to determine exactly where you want to cut it.
  • Cut the belt down to size using sharp scissors or a sharp knife.
  • If you are not sure about your size, you can always buy the longest belt and cut more of it down.

Russian Reindeer Leather

This leather has been oak bark-tanned for strength and durability. When it requires cleaning, or to restore its appearance, we recommend:

  1. Wipe the leather with a damp cloth, applying saddle soap and buffing with a cloth or soft brush.
  2. Allow to air dry naturally.

    Please do not use oil based leather feeds as these displace the greases in the leather and cause the fibers to dry out and degrade.

    Please Note: When you receive your leather, it will likely have a white-ish residue on the grain side. This residue, called dubbin, can be removed with a soft bristled brush such as used to shine shoes.

    This residue is not a defect and does not negatively affect the quality of the leather in any way. It is a natural result of how the leather has been made, and can be easily and safely wiped away.

To Be Ready for Anything, You Need a Belt That's Ready for Anything

In a well-curated wardrobe, every accessory should earn its place. A finely made belt is no exception, and with a reversible design crafted from supple, full‑grain leather, you are not simply purchasing a belt, you are securing two classic looks in one intelligent investment.

Dress For Your Needs

We have carefully selected the reverse and obverse sides of our belts to provide you with maximum stylability. Usually, this means that one side is generally more formal and one side generally more casual, offering you the widest range of dress code and formality potential. Rather than needing two separate belts, you possess the versatility to dress appropriately for virtually any setting.

Superior Belts, Superior Value

This dual character makes the reversible belt particularly compelling. It delivers style and polish while respecting one’s budget; a discreet luxury that proves true value lies not only in cost, but in how often, and how effortlessly, you can enjoy it. By investing in a reversible belt, you extend your wardrobe’s range without compromise.

Whether one is at the beginning of building a collection or simply seeking greater utility from every piece, this accessory embodies the balance of elegance, practicality, and restraint befitting the well‑dressed gentleman. After all, style is not about owning more, it is about owning well.

Details & Specs

  • Fully Reversible

    Meticulously crafted from two distinct leathers, this reversible belt offers a seamless transition between refined sophistication and relaxed elegance. Each side reveals a carefully curated interplay of colors and textures, chosen to elevate your ensemble. Designed for the classic connoisseur, it embodies versatility without compromise, adding timeless value to your collection.

  • A Belt Built to Last

    Unlike other cheap belts, this belt won't become excessively creased, nicked, torn, or even fall apart after a few years of wear. We've ensured the best leathers and most meticulous construction processes to craft a belt that will last for decades with correct treatment and proper care. Like all Fort Belvedere products, this leather belt is an investment that we want you to enjoy for years to come.

  • Durable Convex Body

    All of our Fort Belvedere belts feature bodies formed into a convex shape. This shape, typical of a "raised belt," can either be formed by shaping a thick outer layer of cowhide leather into a convex shape or by layering a thin shell leather around a convex leather core. In addition to being visually pleasing, this shape reinforces the strength of the belt without adding unnecessary bulk. The result is a flexible, pliable belt that won't become lank or stretched out with age.

  • Painted Belt Edges

    While folded edges can ensure durability, they often do so with belts at the cost of additional bulkiness and an inelegant appearance. Therefore, we opted instead to employ edge painting on these belts to impart durability and longevity along with a refined smooth hand and charming slim appearance. With five layers of edge painting, this special dressing will not rub with regular wear and tear and will maintain the beautiful appearance of your belt.

  • Vibrant Leather Color

    The shimmering color of this belt has been made to last. An attentive dyeing process ensures a rich, deep color and thanks to finishing with natural waxes, that color intensity is permanently preserved. As a result, you won't need to constantly apply to your belt colored polishes or creams that could come off on your clothes.

  • Part of an Exchangable Belt System

    You will no longer need to buy half a dozen belts and carry them around everywhere to effortlessly match your leathers and metals. This belt is part of our Exchangeable Belt System. Each belt is sold individually without a buckle. You can select any of our Fort Belvedere buckles and purchase it separately to start building a collection of belts and buckles that can be combined in a multitude of ways, offering a variety of belt styling options at a fraction of the cost.

  • Convenient Clip On/Off Lever System

    Interchangeable belt buckles should never have clunky hardware that is ugly and obvious, nor should swapping them out be a time-consuming hassle. A hallmark of Fort Belvedere buckles is that they have the same refined detailing and low profile of conventional belt buckles, but with the added benefit of interchangeability. A discreet but durable solid brass lever allows you to easily slip the buckle off of one belt and onto another. When locked in place, the lever activates three sturdy teeth that ensure a secure, comfortable fit. No special tools or excessive force is required to remove the buckle, and the entire operation takes about three seconds thanks to our smart clip system.

  • Flexible Sizing

    According to conventional knowledge, your belt size is approximately two sizes larger than your trouser size. In reality, however, even if belts are sized in centimeters or inches, you cannot tell if they will actually fit you without trying them on, because the location of the belt holes and buckles varies based on manufacturer.

    Even if a fixed-length belt fits you when it is purchased, these belts rarely have much give in sizing to account for fluctuations in weight. Therefore, if you lose or gain weight, the belt becomes effectively useless.

    By cutting the belt down so that the belt buckles at the middle hole, you will have sufficient leeway in the event of minor fluctuations in weight. In the event of considerable weight loss, the belt can be easily cut down to account for your new weight. In the event of considerable weight gain, you will need to purchase a new belt, but all of the buckles will function with your new belt, reducing the overall cost to you.

  • Diamond-Shaped Belt Holes

    Every detail of this belt has been carefully considered, even the belt holes! We opted for a diamond shape not only because it was more visually interesting but also because it was more functional. The wider edges make it easier for the prongs of the buckle to pass through so the belt can be put on and taken off with ease. This more accommodating shape also means that the prong puts less stress on the leather, reducing unnecessary wear and creasing.

  • Signature Fort Belvedere Taper

    You'll notice on this all-leather accessory a gently mitered edge. These rounded edges serve a practical purpose, as they prevent premature wear, but they are also a subtle stylistic hallmark of the Fort Belvedere leather goods line. Many of our leather pieces have this featured integrated into their design, highlighting the collection as an intentional whole and giving your appearance a rarefied bespoke effect when you pair multiple Fort Belvedere leather goods.

  • Discreet Branding

    Our understated Fort Belvedere crest is tastefully debossed on the rear of the belt into the Saffiano leather. This logo and branding information is then lightly coated in silver foil for a beautiful luster-on-matte effect.
