Belts and girdles

All replicas of belts and knightly girdles are based on archeological finds and iconography showing whole belts or their parts combined according to proper dating and style. Belts are made from vegetable tanned leather 3-3,5 (~0,12') mm thick and are usually 140-150cm (55'-60') long. It is of course possible to make longer belts. Edges of belts are secured so they would not fray.

All belts can be modified according to your wish; it is possible to change (add or remove) mounts, buckles, end fittings and engravings. As to the historical accuracy of modifications and compilations we offer our advice and recommend the Accessories section, where you can check the dating and size of various accessories.

For your convenience here is the explanation of the rule of belt code numbers. For example 7.3.7.2 is: 7 - buckle B-07, 3 - end fitting S-03, 7 - belt mount M-07, 2 - engraving St-2.

Below you will find the current stock of our belts. If your chosen belt is not currently in stock, please give us following details in your order:

1. Belt symbol with possible changes (buckle, mount, engravings)

2. Leather colour (available colours": light brown, dark brown, black).
