Segmented Leather Ring Belt, Riveted

Unique Design and Honest Craftsmanship

This belt is a true piece of craftsmanship, combining traditional materials with a distinctive look. Its body is composed of 14 individual segments of quality cowhide leather, each about 3 mm thick. These leather segments are firmly joined by four brass rivets each, which not only gives the belt its characteristic appearance but also ensures its strength and durability. This segmented construction allows the belt to better conform to your body's movements.

Solid Ring Buckle

Instead of a classic buckle, this belt features a large iron O-ring that serves as a simple yet fully functional fastener. The ring has an outer diameter of over 6 cm (2.4 inches) and is chrome-plated for corrosion resistance and an attractive look. It allows for stepless adjustment without the need to punch holes in the leather, preserving its integrity and look.

A Belt for Heroes and Adventurers

Thanks to its versatile yet striking design, this segmented belt is suitable for a wide range of characters and occasions. You can easily hang a pouch, a sachet of herbs, small tools, or other necessities from it. It's a great choice for anyone looking to elevate their costume to the next level.

• Medieval Knight or Warrior: The robust look perfectly complements both armour and civilian attire.
• Renaissance Noble or Townsman: Elegant in natural or a darker shade, it adds authenticity to any costume.
• LARP and Reenactment Fighter: The durable construction will withstand even the most demanding events.
• Fantasy Hero: Whether you're a ranger, dwarf, or elf, this belt will underscore your character.
• Original Pirate: A less common choice that is guaranteed to set you apart from the crowd.

Segmented Belts in History

Belts made from smaller, joined pieces were not entirely unknown in history. A segmented design could be practical for several reasons—it allowed for more efficient use of smaller leather scraps, offered a degree of flexibility, or could be a deliberate decorative element. Ring buckles were widespread in the Middle Ages and Renaissance due to their simplicity of manufacture and ease of use. This belt thus combines historically-known principles into an original and functional piece.

Fun Fact: The Craft and Symbolism of Belts

In the Middle Ages, a belt was often much more than just a functional item. It was a badge of status, adulthood, and sometimes office. Richly decorated belts were worn by nobility and wealthy townspeople. The craft of belt-making itself was a respected skill. This segmented belt, with its visible rivets and sturdy ring, harks back to honest craftsmanship and the strength of its wearer.

How to Properly Wear and Care for Your Belt

Wearing a ring belt is simple. Pass the loose end of the belt through the metal ring. Then, wrap the end around the outside of the ring and feed it back under the part of the belt already passing through the ring, creating a self-locking knot. Pull to tighten as needed. Thanks to its 170 cm length, the end of the belt will hang down impressively.

To ensure your belt serves you well for a long time, protect the leather from prolonged moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature. You can occasionally treat the leather with a conditioner or balm to keep it supple. The metal ring just needs to be wiped with a dry cloth if necessary.
