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, creating leather with exceptional depth and authenticity. Unlike pigmented or corrected grain leather, aniline leather reveals the genuine beauty of buffalo hide, including natural markings that make each strap unique. The result is leather that develops a rich patina and becomes more beautiful with age.

Interchangeable Belt System

The Crested Butte features heavy-duty brass 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 natural aniline finish pairs beautifully with brass, bronze, or vintage buckles for an authentic, cohesive 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.
