I like what I like....


The newest addition to my leather goods collection comes in the form of one BillyKirk belt. This specific item was a colab with J.Crew (one of my favorite suppliers). Here is the J.Crew write up on it. Founded in 1999 by the brothers, Billykirk's ruggedly minimalist leather goods are some of the handsomest we've seen. Each piece is made by hand in the heart of Amish country using antique tools and master-craftsman techniques, including this expertly crafted cowhide belt. It's proof positive that you can't fake quality. Solid brass buckle with nickel plating. Width: 1 1/4".
This is my 1st belt "investment piece" and I must say I am really pleased. The Leather is thick and and the hardware is sturdy. In the last 3 years I have had a desire to purchase more items made in the U.S.A and actually crafted. This Belt fits that bill. Looking forward to passing this along to one of my sons when the time is right. Buy yours here
