Touwrand reliëf riem blanco

I trimmed mine to fit my normal waist size and the full-grain leather is thick enough that it should hold up for years. The embossed rope pattern stands out beautifully once you apply a little dye.

The deep rope-like embossing gives this leather great texture—way more forgiving than a smooth belt when you're cutting it to size. Once dyed and finished, it has a substantial feel you just don't get from cheaper blanks.

Was a little unsure about trimming the leather myself, but the instructions were clear enough and the embossing looks just as deep in person. It’s a solid, stiff belt that feels like it’ll outlast a few jeans, though you’ll definitely want to finish the cut edges unless you like a raw look.
