How to Wear and Use Your Belt
This type of belt is incredibly versatile. Its charm lies in the simple knot-tying. You feed the loose end through the ring buckle. Then, pull the end under the belt (towards your body) and then pass it down through the loop you just created. This forms a secure and decorative knot.
The length of the belt allows the end to hang free, completing the authentic historical look. You can easily hang a pouch (e.g., 300661), a small bag, an axe frog, or a sword frog from the belt. It is an indispensable accessory for:
- Historical re-enactment (Viking, Norman, Early to High Middle Ages)
- LARP and fantasy costumes
- Theatrical and film productions
- Medieval markets and fairs
History of the Ring Buckle
Belts with ring buckles (also known as annular buckles) are among the oldest and simplest types of fasteners. Their use is documented as far back as the Iron Age. They were extremely popular with the Celts, Germanic tribes, and Vikings, and their popularity continued throughout the Middle Ages into the 15th century. The reason for this was their simple construction, strength, and the fact they didn't require a complex pin-and-hole mechanism. The leather was simply secured by friction or a knot.
Caring for Your Leather Belt
- Warning: Never dry the leather near a direct heat source (radiator, fire, direct sun). It will harden and crack. Do not leave the belt soaked for long periods.
- Proper Care: Wipe off regular dirt with a dry cloth. If the belt gets wet, let it air dry at room temperature. To maintain the leather's suppleness and appearance, treat it from time to time (e.g., once or twice a year) with a leather conditioner or wax (e.g., beeswax). This will nourish it, help it develop a patina, and make it more resilient.
