A good belting

All horse riders and regular jeans wearers know the importance of a good belt. From holding up your jods to acting as an emergency tourniquet, a leather belt is an essential wardrobe item.

A company in the UK called Elliot Rhodes has taken belt wearing to a new level with their interchangeable buckle system. This allows you to personalise your belt with your choice of one or more buckles to go with it. The buckles attach and detach very simply using a unique popper system.

All of their belts are handcrafted in Italy and Spain using traditional beltmaking techniques. Most people would be surprised to learn that making a belt is quite complicated and involves more than 12 different processes and all of their belts are made using a Full Grain leather quality.

Their range includes over 200 belt straps and over 800 buckles; some of our favourites are the horse themed buckles but there are hundreds to choose from on their web site at elliotrhodes.com
