Where can I buy a pure leather belt?

The humble belt. It may not seem like much, but without it, your style credentials – not to mention your trousers – can quickly fall down.
A simple strip of leather or canvas that separates top from bottom, this age-old accessory can be used to tie a look together or punctuate it, adding colour and depth. It’s a prime example of the idea that the smallest details often make the biggest difference. That’s what makes a good selection of belts a must for any self-respecting gent. “Selection” is the key word here, because not all belts are created equal. Formal and casual settings demand different styles. And with each comes a variety of leathery and canvas subcategories. From the colourful to the classic, here we rundown the must-own belt styles, along with the info you should be armed with prior to parting with your cash.
