Product details:

Stylish and suitable for every occasion, this impressive Brown top grain leather belt is a handsome addition to your look. The smart Graphite-colored belt buckle features an improved ratcheting design to extend the lifetime wear and usage of this handsome belt. This high-quality top grain leather belt features a one-size-fits-most design up to 48 inches in size. In 2004, Brig received a generous gift from one of his students while teaching abroad in Moldova: a ratchet belt. Instead of using worn out holes and an unreliable prong, this leather belt used something different: a tab on the buckle that ratcheted into teeth-like ridges sewn to the back of the leather strap. Fascinated with the utility of the belt, Brig thought it could become a huge hit with some stylistic changes. He collaborated to improve and refine the buckle for the fashion world. As it turned out, the ratcheting buckle was already public domain, and a SlideBelts patent would not be possible until 9 years later when he improved and redesigned the buckle into a dual-ratchet lever. Until their unique dual-ratchet redesign was ready, the older buckle style would have to do: a familiar but awkward buckle with a tiny protruding lever to activate the ratchet. Michelle undertook the task of launching the belts into the e-commerce scene while Brig worked at Nugget Markets to pay for inventory costs. With a lot of tireless hard work and attention to detail, SlideBelts grew from their garage into a new office space. With over 40,000 belts sold in 2013 and the recent success of their Kickstarter Survival Belt project, SlideBelts is well positioned to continue its exponential growth. Gender: Unisex. Age Group: Adult.
