How to Wear It
This type of belt has no holes. Its charm lies in the ring closure. You wrap the belt around your waist, pass the free end up through the ring from underneath, and then tuck it down behind the part of the belt against your body, letting it hang freely. This creates a simple yet very strong self-locking knot, typical of the Early and High Middle Ages, especially for Vikings and Normans.
Who Is It For?
Thanks to its simplicity and versatility, this red leather belt is a perfect choice for a wide range of characters. It perfectly complements the costume of a Viking, an early medieval warrior, a market woman, a pilgrim, or any character at a LARP, re-enactment, or Renaissance faire. The bold red colour will make your outfit stand out. With the available lengths, you can choose the right one for a perfect fit and the authentic hanging look you desire.
Historical Context
Ring belts were popular in Europe for centuries, especially in the Early Middle Ages. They were cheaper and easier to produce than belts with cast buckles, yet they performed their function perfectly. Long belts, with the end hanging low, were not only practical (for hanging gear) but also a status symbol – they showed that the owner had not scrimped on the precious material of leather.
