Its proportions come from there: a width calibrated for the belt loops of work trousers, a thick leather that does not twist, a double-prong buckle that locks firmly. Nothing about it is decorative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 100% leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: made in Morocco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: M45-M46 model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: vegetable tanning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetail: the leather patinates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA 4 mm vegetable-tanned leather\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe leather is a full-grain cowhide, 4 mm thick. It is \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tanning_(leather)\"\u003evegetable-tanned\u003c\/a\u003e, the oldest method of making a hide rot-proof and supple; faster chrome tanning took over in the 20th century and dominates today. The vegetable process is slower, and the leather shows it: it darkens, gains depth and moulds to use. At this thickness, it holds up heavy jeans or thick canvas without rolling in the belt loops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA double-prong zamak buckle\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe buckle is double-prong, in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Zamak\"\u003ezamak\u003c\/a\u003e, an alloy of zinc, aluminium, magnesium and copper valued for its stability and resistance to corrosion. On the back, a keeper stows the excess leather. The belt is handmade in Morocco and saddle-stitched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake your waist measurement at the level of the belt loops, not your trouser size. Sizes run from 85 to 110 cm (33.5 to 43.3 in), in cognac or natural leather. A belt of this thickness is stiff for the first few weeks; it then takes the curve of the waist and stays put.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to wear a men's military leather belt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn raw \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/jean-selvedge-japonais\"\u003eJapanese jeans\u003c\/a\u003e, as in our photos: the 4 cm width is made for the belt loops of a thick denim.

Dust it with a soft, dry cloth, and nourish it twice a year with a leather milk or cream, in a thin layer. If it gets wet in the rain, let it dry at room temperature, away from a heat source. A stain is dabbed, never rubbed: water marks the leather.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champ de Manoeuvres","offers":[{"title":"85 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777168981,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"90 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777201749,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"95 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777234517,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777267285,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"85 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777300053,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"90 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777332821,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"95 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777365589,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"100 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777398357,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"105 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777431125,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"105 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777463893,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"110 \/ NATURAL","offer_id":39676777496661,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"110 \/ COGNAC","offer_id":39676777529429,"sku":null,"price":52.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7115\/4005\/files\/ceinture-cuir-m45-champ-de-manoeuvres-1-44260979245389.jpg?v=1789671378","url":"https:\/\/champdemanoeuvres.com\/en-us\/products\/mens-military-leather-belt-m45","provider":"Champ de Manoeuvres ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
