Occidental Leather is well known for meticulous design and rugged construction using high-quality materials. This sturdy belt is made from thick, bridle-quality leather for holding tool and fastener pouches. At 3" wide, the belt distributes weight over a broad area, so it remains comfortable when worn for long periods. Seams are sewn with heavy nylon thread. All rivets are washer-backed for stress distribution and have smooth surfaces on both sides of the leather. Metal parts are nickel plated to resist rust.
