Historical Context
Throughout history, the belt was a fundamental utility item. Before the invention of pockets, men and women alike relied on their belts to carry daily necessities. A sturdy leather belt was crucial for suspending tools, eating knives, purses, and weapons. The 1.5-inch width was a common standard, providing enough strength to support weight without being overly cumbersome during work or battle.

Since this is genuine buffalo leather, proper care will ensure it lasts a lifetime:
- Protect from excessive moisture. If it gets wet, allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Clean regularly with a soft cloth. For stains, use a damp cloth and a little mild soap suds.
- Condition periodically with leather oil or wax to prevent the leather from drying out and cracking.
