Structurally, this belt is superb: high-quality materials, clean-punched holes, neat and sturdy stitching. Functionally, it feels comfortable and supportive. Stylistically, it looks great. The belt that came out of the box looks exactly like the one on your website.
The Purpose Belt
Built with one and only one purpose. To last. Well...that and to keep your pants up. This thick slab of distressed leather is punctuated by sleek arrows and finished with a gunmetal buckle. The arrows on this belt only point in one direction and that's forward. The Purpose Belt will be there with you every step of the way.
What is distressed leather?
This beautiful leather is aniline dyed in a drum giving it unique and vibrant colors. When the leather is stretched or pulled, the color gets lighter in the pulled areas (also called pull-up leather).
The beauty of this leather is its susceptibility to show color changes, marks, and a rich patina (shine) over time, ensuring that no two pieces are identical. These oil pull-up belts are FULL GRAIN leather and will last a lifetime or longer if taken proper care of.
One solid piece of leather. No bonded belts, period. This results in a belt that minimizes stretch and will never break or crack at the holes. The tough full-grain leather is taken from the hide and handcrafted into the last belt that you will ever need.

Your pant size is NOT your belt size. Click HERE for Belt Sizing Guide
The most accurate way to find your belt size is to take a measuring tape and a belt you currently own. Measure (in inches) from under the buckle (where the buckle meets the leather) to the hole you use to close the belt. That value will be the size you need. For example, you measure your belt from the buckle to the hole you use and find it is 36''. This means you need a size 36 belt. If you prefer a little extra hang, add two inches to this value.
*** Buckle style may vary slightly — buckles are removable and interchangeable.

Full grain and thick belts. This will last a long time. I’m very pleased with this belt and will be ordering my belts for my family.
Loved this belt as soon as I took it out of the box. Looks weathered but feels brand new when you put it on. Favourite belt so far and love the style
Fantastic well made belt with a reputation for it's durability; I look forward to purchasing more NAB products! ~Buddha Sadu Gains
Top product. Very nice
I like these belts. Growing tired of purchasing belts every few years. There is a difference in FULL Grain Leather vs Genuine Leather for sure! However, they fumble my exchange- I wanted the black belt vs this variation! However - its still a good belt! Just wished they had sent the black version....
Nicely made belt will be a more casual belt. I like that the buckle can be swapped out. A small extra charge showed up on my cc statement not sure if it was a tariff or not, besides the charge for the belt. Which turns out to be the shipping insurance, I had agreed to.
Nicely made. Sturdy with style. Quick shipping. Though there was an excise or tariff charge on my cc statement of a few bucks other than the charge for the belt. Which turns out to be the insurance for shipping.
I wasn't pleased at first with delayed shipping and lack of communication. That said, their customer service was outstanding and they made things right. The only thing better than their customer service is the look and quality of the belt. Not just a leather strap with some stitching that looks like every other belt. This belt has a traditional, classic, upscale casual look that makes a statement.
I love my belt
I absolutely love this premium quality belt!
Best belts that I’ve bought. Buying 2 for my dad!
Nice quality western leather belt. Looks great on a Dad bod.
Great and sturdy belt, beautiful design, hope it lasts for years to come!
Great!
Solid belt, not to stiff, looks great, feels very good.
The belt I possess now is a great belt and very comfortable. Unfortunately, it is the second belt I received. The first had several quality control problems--I was surprised how the company would have sent it to me. The holes were stamped twice, including in the belts decoration, resulting in oblong holes. The second one had round holes, only in the flat portion of the belt, as should be and as the company pictures show. And the exchange process was very slow. I own 2 NAB belts, the second came size 40/42 (not the 40 ordered), which surprisingly was shorter than the size 40 belt.
Can’t get enough so I purchased another one. Nice leather finish and heavy duty buckles, simply gorgeous!
This belt is built to last and I think it looks great. I am very happy with the quality and fit. I plan to enjoy it for years to come.
I bought this belt as a lifetime purchase, absolutely love the quality ! I’ll definitely buy another. Buy quality.
This belt is like one of a kind. I never had a belt like this one before. In comparison to this one , rest of my expensive belts look mediocre at best. I made a right choice in buying this belt. Thanks.
Loving the quality of the leather, the brown slightly worn look is perfect with my faded Levi 501s. I should probably have ordered on size up as they sit a bit lower than my waist.
First off, love this belt. It is my second belt I purchased. Very well made compared to anything in a store. Customer service is great. I had a small problem with one snap that held the belt loop in place. They replaced it right away, no questions. Great belt, great company. Thanks NAB
The quality and the design is amazing, i am using a mall belt and they didn’t last long and immediately i am impressed by this belt. This will last for a very long time.
Another excellent belt. It combines quality, design, style. The color is beautiful, it gives a vintage touch to the belt. I must to say that the magnificent customer service, and the fast shipping, are a surpassing characteristic of NAB Leather. Thank you!

I love your belts. I can feel the quality. No wonder they’re guaranteed for life. I’ve bought 2 and will probably wait awhile for another but thank you for these
Love the fit and finish of my nab belt. I had my last one for over a year still in great condition wear it every day.
Cool design, good quality strap, detail and stitching, great sale price and pretty fast shipping. Very pleased with this one.
Love this belt. I live in sw FL so wear it with my cargo shorts year round but it is also really great with jeans when I visit my kids and their families in New England and CA. I am 75 and, after replacing casual belts every 18 to 24 months for years, I expect to use this one for the rest of my life. Highly recommended.
Felt really comfortable on first wearing.
Great belt, fast shipping and reasonable price
Love my new belt! Superb quality! Will be buying more.
I love the fact it’s Italian leather made in Canada. It delivers on quality! Very happy with it
A belt clearly built to last and never lose its lustre. These belts are worth every penny and are a true investment in fashion accesories. Simple and elegant and solid leather, not cheap in design or makeup.
I love this belt! Looks great, feels great, and fits great. Quality is top drawer, and shipping was fast.
Great looking belt!
Best belt ever. Great quality
This is the sixth belt I have purchased from NAB. I love the style, feel, quality and fit. I can't recommend them enough!
I recently purchased a sized 36 brown distressed arrow belt. After I bought a black one a year ago, I knew I wanted a a brown one. They are very durable and the size is spot on! I look forward to having them for many years. Thanks NAB

Frequently Asked Questions
Full-grain leather is the strongest, highest-quality part of the hide, with the natural grain left intact rather than sanded down or heavily processed. This makes it stronger, more durable, and more beautiful over time as it develops a rich, unique patina.
At NAB Leather, we take quality seriously. In fact, we are so confident in our belts, that we offer a lifetime guarantee. If any of our belts ever quits functioning or has a defect in the leather or hardware, then we will repair or replace that product for you for free. No strings, no fine print, just a quality product backed by an honest guarantee.
Well-made full-grain leather goods can last for decades, to a lifetime or longer with proper care. Because full-grain leather keeps the strongest outer layer of the hide intact, it is far more durable than bonded leather, many fabric belts, and most so-called vegan leather alternatives.
Instead of peeling, cracking, or separating after a few years, quality full-grain leather develops character and a natural patina over time. With regular use and basic care, a good leather belt can become one of those pieces you keep for many years.
The most accurate way is to measure a belt you already own, from under the buckle to the hole you use most often. View our belt sizing guide.
Just a tad bit. Expect about 1" stretch over the lifetime of the belt.
All of our belts are made in Toronto, Ontario and rooted in our foundational belief: a leather belt must stand the test of time.
