These belts are made from the back strap or central back portion of the saltwater crocodile skin. The leather in this section is bone free in the saltwater crocodile, unlike that of other crocodilians, so the leather quality is uncompromised. The raised scutes give a three-dimensional quality, accentuated by the tanning and dyeing process. Each belt shows a gradation in the scutes from neck to tail, since each is made without joins from a single skin. The belt is well finished with a cowhide backing, suitable for casual wear. The solid brass buckle is attached with Chicago screws. It can be detached so you may use your favorite buckle. Crocodile leather keeper. These hand cut belts vary in width from 1¼ to 1½ inches wide. Colors are Dark Brown or Black. Made in Australia from farm raised Saltwater crocodile.
Note on belt size: These Australian Crocodile belts are sized with about ½ inch less allowance than our American belts. Order the next size up if your belts normally run tight.
These farm raised crocodile products are for shipment in the US only due to Fish and Wildlife regulations.
Clearly this is a solid piece of leather, not laminated or otherwise synthetically created. It is thick and solid, and I was concerned at first as to whether it would fit through belt loops of different styles of pants. My experience is that it seems that they’ve carefully crafted the thickness to accommodate all styles. The inherent crocodile skin pattern might be “out there” for a few people, but that doesn’t concern me. I understand that these are farmed crocodiles, not taken from the wild. It is certainly the most expensive belt I’ve owned, but for once I have the feeling that my belt is not going to stretch out of shape over time. It looks great, feels good to wear, and is just the best quality I’ve ever seen. Follow the sizing instructions, and you can’t go wrong.
