MOST BELTS SUCK.
IT'S TRUE.
Department store belts chip and peel and tear. Then you throw it away and get a new one. Throw the next one out, head back to the store.
That’s not how it used to be.
Your grandpa’s belt used to last as long as his luggage. The artisan that made it took their time and used the finest materials.
We're here to bring that standard back.
Genuine leather is genuinely worse.
Genuine leather is genuinely worse.
Nowadays, folks try to sell you “genuine leather”, a buzzword invented to trick you into buying another belt…that was ultimately designed to be thrown away.
Our belts are made with full-grain leather that we cut right here in Louisville, Kentucky.
Every solid brass buckle and every stitch is finished by hand. Over time, a new Clayton & Crume belt turns into an old Clayton & Crume belt, with durable character and a beautiful patina.
Just like grandpa’s belt.
ABOVE: Every Clayton & Crume belt is made from the finest full-grain leather. You won’t find any “genuine” leather here.
You’ll never need another one. Trust us.
The last belt you'll ever need. Designed and built for everyday wear.
Each belt is hand-cut from our thickest full-grain leather hides, solid brass buckle and hardware, and robust stitching for a perfect hold. All belts are backed by our lifetime guarantee, we stand behind the goods we make.
Order waist size + 2'' for best fit.
The Answer is honest.
The Answer is honest.
It was the decline in craftsmanship and being fed up with department store belts that gave Clayton & Crume its start.
We're bringing back tried and true craftsmanship to everyday leather goods. Because everyday folks deserve goods made the time-honored, good-ol’-fashioned way.
And you deserve a belt you don’t have to throw away.
