What is Aniline Leather?

Aniline leather is premium full grain buffalo hide dyed with soluble aniline dyes that penetrate deep into the leather rather than coating the surface. This process preserves the natural grain, texture, and character of the hide while creating rich, lasting color. The Estes features a distressed black semi-gloss finish that adds subtle sheen and vintage character to the aniline base. Unlike pigmented leather, aniline dyeing reveals the genuine beauty and natural markings of buffalo hide, making each strap unique.

Interchangeable Belt System

The Estes features heavy-duty TKK snaps that make swapping buckles effortless. Pair with any of our premium 1.5" belt buckles to create multiple belt combinations from a single strap. The distressed black semi-gloss finish pairs beautifully with silver, black, or gunmetal buckles for a sophisticated, modern look.

Note: Belt strap only - buckle sold separately. Compatible with any 1.5" / 38mm belt buckle.

How to Measure Your Belt Size

Lay your current belt flat and measure from where the buckle attaches to the leather (the fold) to the hole you currently use. Order that measurement, rounding up if needed. For example, if you measure 37" or 38" to your preferred hole, order size 38". We'll craft your belt so the center hole hits your measurement perfectly.

Care Instructions

Wipe clean with a soft cloth. The semi-gloss finish requires minimal maintenance and naturally resists minor scuffs. Occasional conditioning with quality leather conditioner will maintain the leather's suppleness. The distressed character will develop subtle depth with wear while maintaining its refined appearance.
