    Frequently Asked Questions

    Treat the leather regularly with a high-quality dressing to keep your Western belt in top condition. Maintenance preserves its natural oils and prevents drying or cracking over time. Avoid exposing your belt to excessive moisture or prolonged heat, as both can weaken the leather. Cautiously apply dressing evenly with a soft cloth, and your belt will continue to look its best for years to come.

    A high-quality Western belt is unmistakable. Look for full-grain leather, which feels strong and supple while aging beautifully over time. Sturdy stitching, a durable metal buckle, and fine attention to detail are all marks of exceptional craftsmanship. A belt that feels substantial in hand and shows no shortcuts in its construction is built to stand the test of time—just like those from Hanks.

    A well-made Western belt, especially one crafted from full-grain leather, can last a lifetime with proper care. At Hanks, we take pride in creating belts that grow richer with age and develop character the longer you wear them. Maintenance plays a role, too—regular conditioning and proper care ensure your belt becomes a lasting companion.

    At Hanks Leather Goods, we focus on traditional leather craftsmanship and do not currently offer vegan leather options. Our commitment to quality and heritage prioritizes the use of full-grain leather for its unparalleled durability and style.

    Our belts are vegetable-tanned, a time-honored process that uses no harsh chemicals. Instead, we rely on natural materials like mimosa powder from tree bark to achieve the leather’s rich finish. This method takes over six weeks, from rawhide to hand-burnished perfection, creating leather with an unmatched texture, durability, and natural beauty.

    To measure your size for a Western belt, use a tailor's tape to measure around your waist, where you typically wear your pants. If you plan to wear the belt on your hips, measure at that point. Add 2 inches to this measurement to determine your belt size, ensuring a perfect fit. For more information about sizing, head to our website to learn everything you need to know to find the perfect size for your belt.
