Leather Belt
A leather belt is a flexible band or strap made of animal hide, typically cowhide, used to secure or hold up trousers, skirts, or other garments, and as a fashion accessory.
Material
The primary material is leather, most commonly:
- Full-grain leather: Considered the highest quality, it retains the natural grain and markings of the hide, offering durability and a unique appearance.
- Top-grain leather: The outer layer of the hide is sanded to remove imperfections, resulting in a smoother finish, but is less durable than full-grain.
- Genuine leather: A broad term indicating real leather, but typically lower quality splits or thinner hides.
- Bonded leather: Made from leather scraps bonded together, the least durable and often with a plastic coating.
- Exotic leathers: Includes options like alligator, crocodile, ostrich, and snakeskin, generally more expensive and used for fashion belts.
Buckles are commonly made of metal alloys like brass, steel, or iron, and sometimes feature decorative elements.
Purpose & Function
