HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SIZE
METHOD ONE
Lay your current belt on a flat surface. Measure the distance from the current hole you use to the base of the buckle.
METHOD TWO
Loop a measuring tape (or "tailor's tape") through the belt loops on your favorite pair of pants. Pull the tape snug (like a belt) and your size is where the 'zero' overlaps.
HOW IT'S MADE
MATERIALS
Our belts are made from premium vegetable tanned leather sourced from US tanneries. Roughly 90% of today's leather products are chrome-tanned, which typically only takes several days and uses harsh chemicals to dye the hide. Vegetable tanning, a method that has been around since as early as 7000 BCE, uses oak, chestnut, or mimosa bark, and the tannins from these plants result in a longer-lasting product. The vegetable tanning process can take anywhere from six weeks to six months, depending on the plants used and the number of “pits” or barrels the leather soaks in.

AS SEEN IN
"Today, Duke and his family shape the ecological balance of nearly 300,000 acres of managed lands that span the American West. The family business is Ranchlands. The name says it all. Stewarding working landscapes is their expertise, and using livestock as a tool to accomplish conservation goals is just one of the ways they restore America’s grasslands. In their eyes, it’s not just about producing grass fed, holistically managed cattle, it’s about creating a business model that leans on eco-tourism, art, science, conservation, education, fishing and hunting, community and family to support a model that improves the ecosystem."
