Medieval O-Ring Leather Belt, 3 cm wide
Authentic Look and Honest Craftsmanship
The belt is handcrafted from a single piece of quality, approximately 3.5 mm thick full-grain leather, which develops a beautiful patina with use. Its defining feature is a simple but sturdy metal O-ring. The end of the belt holding the ring is secured with a distinctive and strong cross-stitch of leather cord, emphasizing its period and handmade appearance. It's an accessory that not only looks great but is also built to last.
How to Tie the Belt Correctly
Using it is very easy and stylish. Simply wrap the belt around your waist, pass the loose end through the metal ring, and then tuck it under the tightened part of the belt so it hangs down freely. This simple knot holds the belt securely. You can easily hang a pouch, a drinking horn, an herb bag, or a light sheathed weapon from the belt.
A Glimpse into History
Ring belts with a simple loop or buckle were one of the most common types of belts for many centuries, from the Early Middle Ages to the Renaissance. Their simplicity meant they were easy to make and very reliable – they had no complex mechanical parts that could break. In the Middle Ages, the length of the free-hanging end of the belt could also symbolise the social status and wealth of its owner. The longer the end, the more expensive material the person could afford.

How to Care for Your Belt
Leather is a natural material that becomes more beautiful with time and use. To ensure your belt lasts as long as possible, give it a little care.
- Cleaning: If soiled, wipe the belt with a slightly damp cloth only.
- Conditioning: From time to time, rub a small amount of beeswax or a leather conditioner into the surface. This will keep it supple and durable.
- Storage: When not in use, store the belt loosely coiled or hanging in a dry, ventilated place.
- What to Avoid: Never wash the belt or allow it to become soaked. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally at room temperature, never on a heater or in direct sunlight.
