The Momotaro MMGD1001 Belt is a refined narrow-cut belt built from extra-thick 4mm vegetable-tanned Benz cowhide, sourced from the renowned Tochigi Leather tannery in Japan — one of the country's most respected leather producers, tanning premium cowhide the traditional way since the mid-20th century.

The leather is cut from the dense butt section of the hide — the most compact, fibrous, and hardwearing part of the cow, prized for its enhanced durability, strength, and natural sheen. Combined with a traditional vegetable tannin process, the leather retains all its natural character: substantial in the hand, honest in its finish, and built to develop richer tone and depth with every year of wear.

This natural finish version leaves the leather undyed, allowing the raw tannin tone to speak for itself. Over time, the surface will gradually darken and patina with exposure to sunlight and daily wear — developing a warm honey-brown character that becomes increasingly personal to its owner. Few finishes reward long-term wear as clearly as natural vegetable-tanned leather.

The design pairs the leather with a well-polished brass buckle head and riveted construction — a small but essential detail that ensures the belt lasts for decades of daily wear. At 28mm width, the proportions read refined and versatile — the ideal partner for both denim and semi-casual styling.

Fit Notes: Momotaro belts fit true to size. We recommend selecting your usual jeans size — or if you fall between two sizes, sizing up one. The most accurate way to confirm your size is to measure an existing belt from the inner edge of the buckle (where it meets the leather) to the hole you use most often — typically the middle hole.
