A Touch of History for Your Costume

Belts with ring closures, often called O-ring belts, have deep historical roots. Their simplicity and practicality made them popular across various cultures and eras, especially during the Middle Ages. They were used not only to cinch clothing but also to hang swords, daggers, pouches, or other essential equipment. This type of belt was common for both men and women, with designs varying based on social status and region.

A Tidbit from the Past

In medieval times, a belt was often more than just a practical item; it could be a symbol of status and authority. While richly decorated belts might indicate wealth, simple and functional leather belts like this one were the mainstay of warriors, craftsmen, and common folk who valued durability and utility above all.

How to Care for Your Leather Belt

To ensure your leather belt maintains its original beauty and to extend its lifespan, give it the proper care:

• Cleaning: Remove dust and minor dirt with a dry cloth or a soft brush. For heavier soiling, use a slightly damp cloth and then immediately wipe the belt dry.
• Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time. Occasionally (e.g., every six months or after intensive use), apply a thin layer of specialized leather conditioner. This will keep the leather supple and protected.
• Storage: When not in use, store your belt in a dry, ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources (like radiators), which can dry out and damage the leather. It's best to loosely coil or hang the belt.

What to Avoid

• Never soak the belt completely in water. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use a hairdryer or place it on a heater.
• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, solvents, or oils that could permanently damage the leather.
• Do not machine wash your belt.

Choose the Right Size

• Belt Size 50" (approx. 127 cm): Fits waist sizes from 25-38 inches (approx. 63.5 cm - 96.5 cm).

Remember, with O-ring belts, it's common and desirable for the longer end to hang down freely.
