Solid Metal Buckle Men’s Dress Belts

With such beautiful leather, we had to find equally beautiful solid metal buckles that were not only good looking but also super durable. We decided on solid brass and stainless steel buckles. These are two of the most popular colour choices that go well with the formal outfits. They also match other metal accessories like bracelets and watches nicely. But most importantly, brass and stainless steel don’t rust.

These buckles are manufactured the old school way using the traditional sand casting techniques. Artisans then finish them nicely to give it a high quality feel.

Bespoke custom sized men’s dress belts

Next, we wanted to make sure that the belts fit nicely. The last thing that anyone putting together a polished look is to have a sloppy leather belt that looks cheap or is ill fitting and flaps around.

So, even though it is time consuming to make one belt at a time, we still believe that the end result is so much better than generic sized belts. And we hope that you feel the same. In our humble opinion, a nice fitting belt sits snug and the tip of the belt just passes the first belt loop and sits about mid way between the first and second belt loop (see image below).

Frequently Asked Questions About Men’s Dress Belts

What makes a belt a “dress belt”?

Dress belts are designed for formal and business attire. They are typically narrower (often between 32-35mm), feature sleeker, less ornate buckles, and have a more polished finish than casual belts. Their primary purpose is to subtly complement a suit or tailored trousers.

How do I choose the right color for a dress belt?

The general rule is to match your dress belt color to your shoes. It is also a good idea to match the leather color on the watch strap.

Black dress belts are essential for black shoes, while various shades of brown work with brown shoes. For very formal events, a black leather dress belt is typically preferred.

How should I style a men’s dress belt?

Always match your dress belt to your shoes, and ideally, to any other leather accessories like your watch strap or briefcase. For a classic look, pair a black dress belt with a black suit and black shoes. Brown dress belts offer versatility for navy, grey, or tan suits.
