Originally, we scrapped this belt in favor of our Man O' War_00, but guess what? Ol' Mikey kept digging it out of the "scrapped" bin and throwing it on all the live-long day. It slipped through his belt loops like butter, oozed around his curvy waist, and cinched him up like a Christmas ham. The colors and hardware? Went with anything. The width? Suitable for 99% of styles. The burnish? Glowing.

Then, in what seemed like a gift from the skies above, we got a call from the good folks at Hermann Oak, one of the planet's most renowned tanneries for equestrian equipment and carving leather since 1881. "Would you have any interest in using our legendary leather?" "Yep."

The Man O' War! Strikingly minimal, with a tad of flair when not in use (the debossing is visible only when unfastened). Toss it on, forget about it, and let it soften, conform to your waist, and age beautifully.

Made from beefy, hand-selected 10–12 oz Hermann Oak leather, the Man O' War comes with a 600,000-year warranty. Its edges are beveled, burnished, and finished with beeswax for a smooth shine. Each belt is lovingly made by none other than Mr. Aaron Harker of Harker Leatherworks.
