Belts

The Mechanics Belt is a best seller and definitely garners the most interest. Can be worn casual or with a suit. Billykirk's mentor's grandfather was making a similar belt for the auto industry back in the 50's and they loved how it functioned. The flap of leather would protect the car's paint job from being scratched. A very simple but effective design and a true piece of Americana. Billykirk made theirs slightly wider, changed the tips and added some hand stitched details. We also often sell these to guitarists who do not want to hear their belt buckle or beat up the back of their guitars. Hand-oiled and edged. 1 1/4." Made in the USA Learn More
