Handmade Leather Belts for Men Low Price in Pakistan
ULTIMATE GUIDE: CHOOSE WELL AND WEAR A BELT
Prior to beginning the article, I will rapidly educate you concerning the updates on the blog.
The articles will be a little rarer throughout the following three weeks (between one to two every week) since I have some close to home worries to determine (not intense, however extremely tedious).
The following points will likewise be enormous extreme aides on embellishments where we will handle specifically fundamental and energizing subjects, for example, socks, neckties or pockets.
The structure will continue as before: the history and quality markers for each kind of room, style exhortation and a little choice of brands.
I General
1 FORMAL BELTSIn the most traditional sense of the term, the formal Mens belts do not exist. Only the suspenders are supposed to be really suitable for a dressy outfit.
Fortunately, we are in 2015 and we have since realized that a Mens belt was more flattering for the waist: it draws a beautiful v shape and marks the shoulders more.
The silhouette was more imposing, which suited the soldiers well during the first two world wars.
There were two very vintage Men's belts: the folded Men's belts made from strips of cow leather a few centimeters wide, and the officer Mens belts sam brown.

At the return of the first world war, the American veterans thus report this Mens belts made, at the expense of suspenders. These lose more and more their popularity with the progressive disappearance of the 3 pieces.
Thus in 1929, most of the men's pants were held in by suspenders (but only in a non-formal setting).
For Mens belts that stick as much as possible to dress use, the rules are actually quite simple.
The loop
The most discreet possible loop, not very exuberant and (above all) without any visible mark. The buckle is discreet and is chosen according to the accessories and in particular the jewelry or cufflinks.
The color
The choice of the belt is made according to the color of the shoes, and then possibly by that of the jacket and the pants
A dressed belt is generally of a tint at least as dark as the suit.
The greater the contrast between a belt and jeans, the more casual the result.
Well-chosen, the color of a dress belt facilitates the transition of the look from the pants to the coat.
The length
The length is rather important than it seems for a belt in a formal setting: it will have a much more neglected look if it is too long and it exceeds (after the loop) the second loop of the belt.
Two elements to focus on in summary: simplicity and discretion. You can afford more precious materials like crocodiles or lizards on the most minimalist brown or black models.
Preferably opt for a belt with normal finishes, but you can also try raw edges, slightly less formal.

2 CASUAL BELTS
A casual belt does not necessarily have to match your shoes perfectly (just stay in close tones, without showing that you have been looking for perfection for hours on end in dressing in the morning.)
Keep a width always around 3cm, and thickness around 2cm.
Even if simplicity is ideal, you can allow yourself a more original and a little more imposing loop, by staying well away from brand symbols.
Despite casual outfits, each loop has its context: avoid for example the d-loop with fabric belt in the middle of winter.
Some associations are obvious: chinos are easily worn with a braided belt, canvas or even suede leather.
3 tidy up your seat belt
Absolutely avoid leaving your belts hanging on your pants, it is bad for leather and this is what can cause the first cracking.
It is best to hang them vertically with a hanger specially designed for belts and ties.
3 TIDY UP YOUR SEAT BELT
Absolutely avoid leaving your belts hanging on your pants, it is bad for leather and this is what can cause the first cracking.
It is best to hang them vertically with a hanger specially designed for belts and ties.
You can otherwise take a simple metal hanger (you know, that of dry cleaners) then flatten it by hand, and finally, give it a nice s shape to hang your belts and ties.
Another method of storage: keep them well wrapped in a shoebox.
3 TAKE CARE OF YOUR BELT
A dirty belt can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a tiny bit of hot water. Beware of cleaning products that will remove the protective oils from the leather, remember to use after each cleaning a treatment that will restore them.
Saphir shoe polish will do the trick, for example:
4 THE ROLE OF THE BELT IN THE CUT: REALLY ESSENTIAL FOR THE FIT?
A belt is not necessary when wearing a suit: in any case, it should not hold the pants. If it falls without a belt, it is because you have chosen the wrong size or the cut is missed.
The aesthetic role of a belt is also limited: it shortens the silhouette by breaking it in half and widens it by adding horizontality.
Not wearing belts at all, therefore, eliminates this visual interruption and thus refines the silhouette.
You can very well wear your costume without a belt with simply adjustable tabs on the sides (in which case for the tailored pants the belt loops are removed)
Suit pants, and pants more generally, should simply rest on the waist, without necessarily needing a belt. (do not, therefore, rely on low waist pants, which by definition are below the waist and which are therefore less representative of a classic fit).
In any case, do not hesitate to wear a belt if it does not add added value (a subtle minimum) to your outfit
II STYLE TIPS
1 EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW TO PROPERLY WEAR A BELT
A simple color reminder on light brown (which goes perfectly with light gray) with the gloves and the shoe (here wearing a molder for rain).
The blue belt fits well in an outfit that is not entirely formal: but the thickness, the color, and the buckle are in any case consistent with the register and the proportions of the outfit.
This formal outfit is not just a simple mixture of white and gray: there are many subtle patterns: first the blue polka dots on the shirt, then the checks on the jacket and the grid lines on the tie. We, therefore, needed Mens belts that remain in a simple brown tone to remain formal, but which also plays a little on the texture to echo these details. (we see similar work on the patterns of the socks and the perforations of the shoes).
B wears a casual belt correctly
Tie with discreet patterns, oxford shirt, and beige chinos: this outfit has everything from the traditional preppy register of Printemps. It's kind of the only good opportunity to wear a striped woven belt. With a d loop.
This spring outfit by Massimo dutti is not really formal, and also remains far from the very casual (within particular the shirt and the tie). A thin, brown Mens belt is, therefore, an excellent choice, with a discreet buckle. It is mainly through the texture that it differs with a discreet braiding, but which evokes the more spring-like side of this outfit.
2 MISTAKES IN TASTE TO AVOID ABSOLUTELY WITH A BELT
A With a formal Mens belts
Nothing very serious in this photo, but if you look closely the texture of the costume is more autumn/winter while the brown braided leather is much more characteristic of Spring / Summer (in addition to having more of its place in a casual outfit).
In short, it is not shocking either, but it is the belt that subconsciously will point out that this outfit is not completely consistent.
This is more of a structural concern: contrary to what one might think: the belt is not at all supposed to be visible with a three-piece suit. The waistcoat is in fact supposed to make the transition between the shirt and the pants, in order to avoid such a clear visual rupture of the Mens belts.
In any case, don't be fooled by all the lookbook photos and other The Kooples campaigns that might make you think otherwise, it is a passing fashion that will not last and stylistic nonsense.
b With a casual belt
The elbow patches on a jacket normally have a utility purpose, and we found them especially on the old hunting jackets in tweed and large wool. They belong more to an Autumn / Winter register, especially in such a dark color tone.
It is therefore difficult to see what comes with a light red woven belt that would be more logically worn in Spring / Summer. Apart from that, the outfit reeks of cheapness and conceals tastes, with notably the Tunisian collar under the shirt (which loads the outfit too much) and the faded military baggy.
When making a small size, the most important is to avoid as much as possible the contrast between the top and the bottom. It is rather successful here in terms of the colors between the shirt and the jeans. On the other hand, the belt ruins everything with a clear delimitation between the top and the bottom, and the cut of the jeans is much too wide and therefore clearly to be reviewed.
The joke belt, which could possibly have gone without the motives of polo players. An outfit probably out of a preppy aristo vulgar lookbook.
III SELECTION OF BRANDS
1 The Tanners
American tanners are an excellent source of supply for Mens belts. Unfortunately, with the collapse of the euro, the price/quality ratio has become slightly worse: I will, therefore, give you only the most interesting addresses.
L'Aiglon is an innovative brand on its finishes within particular edge 0, the rendering of which is very close to the straight edge: the lining is simply connected to the strap by a resin, and not by an overstretching.
She also designed the breadcrumb, which allows hand braiding of threads of different colors.
Its offer is finally very varied in terms of materials, with leather Mens belts in snakeskin, crocodiles or even ostriches.
2 SHOEMAKERS.
You can obviously take a look at what Northampton bootmakers offer, like Crockett and jones: the pound is strong against the euro but you will already have less shipping costs. The ideal compromise is to take a look at what septime width and Markowski do, or Finsbury or even loading if you have a lower budget.
It is possible to reconcile the two by going through former subcontractors of these brands, who are now on their own (this is somewhat the same principle as for seh kelly).
Old family subcontractor of the hermès brand since 1946, herve n seller is a typical solution to access more than 20 years of know-how in this universe without the huge margins that normally go with it. The leather has undergone vegetable tanning and the buckle is made of solid brass. Each Men's belts takes between 2 and 5 hours of work (practically only by hand). Buckling is one of the big advantages, with robustness equivalent to riding equipment.
An outdated site which dates from before the year 2000 bug is either the sign of a scam to be avoided absolutely, or of a small hidden pearl which concentrates above all on the know-how and the quality of the product, and little about its development.
Laceinturesellier.Com between pile in this second scenario, with finishes typical of the art of saddlery like sewn saddlery, and excellent vegetable-tanned leather (often in oak bark barrels).
BRANDS WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES
I really like m. Studio for its very good quality products at very low prices, all thanks to a well-made sourcing and good economies of scale. The price/quality ratio on sale is quite unbeatable, and it is quite easy to have the sale prices given the volumes available. The range includes both braided suede belts and more classic belts. I do not particularly like braided mens belts in affection: for me, these are too summer pieces, too preppy and therefore too little versatile. But atelier particulier surprised me especially with the material: good thick, thick wool and on the other side of suede calfskin.
The material contrast adds a lot of character to the Men's belts, and the bi-material side gives great versatility.
The braided wool is supplied by a century-old workshop, which made ropes for ships at the base (good guarantee of solidity, therefore) and the leather comes from Tuscany (with vegetable tanning). The finishes are then provided by a swiss workshop.
OTHER BRANDS
Anderson's was knocked down in the mid-60s by Carlo Valenti, experienced in the art of belts by the most prestigious leather factories in Parma. After gaining enough experience, he launched himself into this business and launched Anderson, inspired by the British house, Anderson and Sheppard.
Now Anderson's is one of the dominant accessories companies in Italy and maybe one of the oldest accessories workshops in Europe. His creed? Combine modernity and trends (at a reasonable dose) with the know-how of the craftsmen of Parma on leather. The business is still run by the Valenti family and the belts are still made entirely in Parma, well known for its manufacture of shoes and other leather goods. The factory remains on a human scale and has around fifty employees, who only work from local premium leather.
The brand specializes in particular in braided Men's belts.
A Men's belts that I acquired almost 3 and a half years ago and whose leather still fits perfectly, with a very practical concept of the detachable buckle. The collection does not seem to be renewed at all:
