Have
you ever wondered how to tie a
ring belt? We sure
have.
The answer is in the series of pictures below, in our
"How to tie a leather ring belt picture tutorial!"
Leather
Ring Belts
Thick, sturdy and
supple, these heavyweight hand crafted leather ring belts will last for
years to come of crusades and conquests. Intended
for knotting around the ring at the waist as shown above, these belts
have no holes
punched in the leather. The harness and bridle leather ring
belts are comparable in quality and type. Visually, the main
difference
between the leathers is that the harness leather ring belts are dyed
further through the leather, while the bridle leather ring belts are
surface dyed.
The oils and waxes added to each during the tanning process mean both
are weather resistant and strong leathers well suited for belt use.
A Quick Note About
Ring Belt Lengths
Belt 30" longer than waist measurement = at or below the knee
Belt 24" longer than waist measurement = at or above the knee
Belt 18" longer than waist measurement = at or around mid-thigh
Belt 12" longer than waist measurement = at or around the hips
For example:
a 62" belt should fall roughly mid-thigh on a 44" waist - a
comfortable, practical length that will be comfortable while you
walk.
Buying the longer belt would be safer, though, because the end may be
trimmed to any desired length with a pair of scissors. We are
also happy to shorten the belt to your requirements after purchase.
Just e-mail
us with your desired length when you purchse the belt!
Black Harness
Leather Ring Belts
All of these black
leather ring belts were hand crafted from 9 oz harness leather, with
three black rivets on the shield shaped flap at the nickel ring
and a nicely incised line around the edge for detailing. This
leather was tanned with just enough waxes and tallows to produce a
weather resistant finish that will hold up to years of use in SCA,
Renaissance or re-enactment.
Available in various lengths. We can shorten
these to your specification upon request after purchase.
