Aniline Buffalo Leather Belt Strap - Handcrafted in Colorado
I handcraft The Crested Butte in Colorado Springs from one solid piece of full-grain aniline buffalo leather. This is a replacement strap only, with no buckle included. The natural grain gives it visible character, and two heavy-duty brass TKK snaps let you attach a compatible removable buckle.
Key Features:
- Full Grain Buffalo Leather - Solid one-piece construction with no bonded layers or fillers
- Aniline Dyed Finish - Visible natural grain and surface character
- 1.5" Width (38mm) - Check your belt loops and buckle for the right fit
- Substantial Leather - A thicker feel for customers who prefer a substantial strap
- Heavy-Duty Brass TKK Snaps - Two snaps for removing and changing a compatible buckle
- Matching Leather Loop - Full-grain leather keeper included
- Handcrafted in Colorado Springs, USA - Individually made in my workshop
About the Aniline Finish
The aniline finish shows the buffalo leather's natural grain and markings rather than giving it a completely uniform appearance. Expect variations in texture and surface character from strap to strap. Choose The Crested Butte if you like leather with visible grain and an individual look.
Buckle Compatibility
The two brass TKK snaps open so you can attach or change a compatible buckle. Browse our 1.5" belt buckles for options. Choose a buckle designed for a 1.5-inch leather strap with a compatible attachment bar and enough clearance for the folded leather. Ratchet, clamp, and other specialty systems may require a different strap.
Belt strap only; buckle sold separately. Width alone does not guarantee compatibility. Send a photo of the back of your buckle before ordering if you would like help checking the fit.
How to Measure Your Belt Size
Lay a belt that fits you flat and measure from the start of the leather at the buckle fold to the hole you use most often, not to the end of the buckle or the tip of the strap. That measurement is the belt size to order. If it falls between available sizes, choose the next size up. For example, a 37-inch measurement means ordering size 38. A size 38 measures 38 inches from the leather fold to the center fitting hole.
Measure your belt rather than ordering your pants size. Contact me if you need help choosing a size.
Everyday Wear
This aniline leather belt strap pairs with jeans, chinos, and other clothing with belt loops that accommodate its 1.5-inch width. Keep using a favorite compatible buckle or choose different hardware to change the look.
Made in Colorado

Care Instructions
Wipe away dust with a soft cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth when needed, avoid soaking, and let the leather dry naturally away from direct heat. Condition sparingly when the strap feels dry, testing a small, inconspicuous area first because conditioner may darken or change the finish.
- Cleaning: Wipe away dust and surface dirt with a clean, soft cloth. Use a slightly damp cloth when necessary, but do not soak the leather.
- Conditioning: Apply leather conditioner only when the leather begins to feel dry. Always test it on a small, inconspicuous area first because conditioner may darken or alter the finish.
- Drying: Allow wet leather to air-dry naturally. Do not use a hair dryer, heater or direct sunlight.
- Storage: Store the belt in a cool, dry place. Hang it by the buckle or roll it loosely—never fold it sharply.
