Companies like Tanner Goods start at $100. Filson Belts, Shinola, and the other nationally popular ones are all pretty expensive as well. For a similar value but lower cost, look to horse &#8216;tack&#8217; leather companies. Yes, they make halters, bridles, and reins, but they also make human belts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tackroominc.com\/tory-leather-14-inch-belt-p-26407.html\">favorite belts are from a company called Tory Leather<\/a> in Williamsport, PA (home of little league and a stone&#8217;s throw from the storied Woolrich Woolen Mills.) You can get their great, solid belts starting at just below $40. While they don&#8217;t sell directly from their website, Tack Room Inc. is an online retailer that seems to carry a large selection of their belts. They also make great quality leather pet accessories, too, at a fraction of the cost of those other high-end brands. In general, other leather tack companies provide valuable leather products for relatively low prices. A very cool thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonus hint: welding glove manufacturers make some of the best and cheap all-purpose leather gloves. Do yourself a favor and pick up a couple of pairs of Tillman&#8217;s from your local welding gas supplier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solid belts at a great price<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40907"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40907"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40907\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40911,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40907\/revisions\/40911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40907"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40907"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40907"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
