You’re not going to want to take off this belt—and you won’t have to (except to sleep). 

The Old Word Harness belt is crafted from our thickest cut of solid full-grain leather, which means it’s built for everyday, around-the-clock use. Heavy-duty work, responsible concealed carry, or comfortable casual wear—that’s up to you. Just like all of Hanks Belts, the Old World Belt gets any job done, no questions asked (that’s why it comes with our 100-year guarantee). 

Our master belt makers cut each belt from a remarkable piece of USA-tanned Hermann Oak leather—the same way it’s been done since 1881. The hide’s natural range markings (scars, bites, and scratches) give every belt a texture and color you won’t find anywhere else.

Each belt tells its own story. 

It takes a steady, trained hand to turn this extra thick leather into an Old World Belt. Keep it sharp with double-edged stitchwork or embrace the American tradition with a classic, raw-cut edge. This belt feels as natural as it looks—no matter the setting. 

You could spend all year searching big-box retailers for the right belt only to have it fall apart in a few months. Instead, buy the Hermann Oak Old World Harness belt and enjoy a beautiful piece of USA leatherwork that will be with you for the rest of your life.
