Leather Belts Made in USA

Posted by Master Editors on June 19, 2011 at 4:10 PM

Sole Survivor  makes all its belts, wallets and bags in the U.S.A., and offers them for reasonable prices. The site is fun to navigate, with many categories of belt-styles, belt-buckles, and tooled leather accessories.

M-J de Mesterton wears an elegant hand-dyed belt made by Sole Survivor.

Belt It: The Solution to a Long-Lasting Fashion Failure
Belts can be worn over blouses that are untucked, if you have been victimised by fashion and have skirts or trousers that only come up to the hip. This way, you can hide the fact that your pants or skirts are falling down, and show off your waist, thereby visually lengthening your legs and getting your overall image back into proper proportion.
