Last week while I was at work I realized my belt buckle had broken on one part. I went back to my desk and started looking for belts. I found this company on Amazon. American Leather Belt Company. They had exactly what I was looking for but I couldn't find a website for them. So I clicked on "Contact Seller" and asked a few questions. That guy answered back w/I 35 minutes. This was around 7 in the morning. Come to find out they are revamping their website so everything goes thru amazon and Etsy (AmericanLeatherBelt). And they are local, located in Akron. The belt is made out of a fine American Cowhide that was tanned in the Bridal Tanning Process. It has just the right amount of waxes and oils to make a long lasting strap for your belt. He added an additional gift from the remainder of that strap "cut off the hide". Not 20 minutes after I placed the order I was in the bathroom about to take a shit and my buckle completely fell off. So I went to the Machine Shop Supervisor and had him tack weld it back into place. It worked out fine. Friday the belt arrived. This thing is great. Ill be ordering a couple more from him. EXCELLENT customer service and a lifetime warranty. Its very sturdy and is made to order. I placed my order on Wednesday and had it on Friday. I would highly recommend them if you are in the market.

This is what my belt looked like after it was Tack Welded back together
This is what the new belt looked like right out of the box. He sent 2 buckles with it. He also used the leftover leather to make a Key Ring. Very impressed with this company.
