To date, I have purchased in excess of four of these beautiful belts as gifts for the two favourite men in my family -my husband and dad. They were so thrilled with their first belt I simply could not resist a repeat performance. I selected these because they reminded me of the good craftsmanship I admired in my father’s belts when I was younger -the rich and natural lustre of the leather, the curved detailing of the metal tips and metal belt loop/inserts. Equally appealing is the fact that these belts appear as durable as they are beautiful. I can think of quite a few belts I would like to replace in my own closet if indeed there was a ladies options available and/or if they came in size XS. Until then, I shall continue to gift them to the two most wonderful gentlemen in my life.
