Up a Notch.

Even in Kentucky, they defer to English bridle leather as the finest around.

Everyone, I believe, should have one really good belt.

This is a great one.

J. Peterman Stirrup Belt (No. 2854). Hand made from the finest English bridle leather by saddle maker Claire Painter here in Kentucky horse country.

She doesn't use rivets, but stitches each belt with waxed cotton (for durability).

Buckle is made of solid, antique brass. Each belt hole is numbered, 1 through 5.

In riding, you adjust the stirrups to give you better control and confidence. I find the same is true with a properly fitting belt. A perfect fit makes you feel more secure, in control. Ready to tackle most anything.

Men's sizes: 32 through 46.

Color: Brown.
