Leather belts
Created by tanning animal skins and used in a universal way, this naturally noble material has never ceased reinventing itself to withstand time. Our Italian tannery accurately selects full grain leather to offer quality products. Braided, wide or narrow, in leather or smooth, in rawhide or in suede, our belts are made with the greatest care for a strong durability.
Men's leather belts
Among the belts we offer, leather ones are essential. Here are our quality commitments to produce a high-quality leather belt.
Our full-grain leather
At The Nines, all our belts are made of full-grain leather, regardless of the leather family they belong to (suede leather, smooth leather, grained leather...). This allows us to offer perfect details. And to do this, we source the best Italian leathers known for their unique feel and quality, even over time.
We select the densest and most homogeneous upper part of the animal, which is then lightly sanded. This makes the leather more uniform as well as smoother and more resistant. Your belt will stand the test of time while developing a uniform patina.
Choose your finish
Depending on the occasion where you wish to wear your men's belts, you can choose the appropriate leather family. Smooth leather is the most popular leather for suit belts. It's essential for formal occasions and pairs perfectly with suit trousers.
Grained leather, on the other hand, is more casual. Its textured appearance with visible grain is obtained through the tanner's work on the leather to give it relief. This adds character to your belt and outfit. Grained leather is worn in a less formal context than smooth leather.
A vegetable tanning
Tanning is an essential process that makes leather more flexible, more water-resistant, and more durable. This operation is usually done using products such as chrome, which is particularly polluting. In an eco-responsible approach, we have chosen to use vegetable tanning to respect the environment.
Our belts are tanned using tannin, a natural substance found in many plants. In addition to being eco-friendly, vegetable tanning makes our belts' leather stronger, with deeper colors and elegant patina development over time.
Choose the right width
The width of the belt is an element to consider depending on the trousers you wish to wear it with.
For suit trousers, the dress belt shouldn't be too imposing. We recommend choosing a narrow belt measuring 30 mm. If you opt for more casual trousers like chinos, you can wear a medium belt of 35 mm width. Finally, if you choose jeans, you can wear any style and sport a wider and more imposing belt of 40 mm.
