Premium Construction & Craftsmanship

Each belt is carefully made by skilled  craftsmen using traditional methods passed down through generations. Every hide is hand-cut with precision, then shaped, stitched, and finished to perfection. The 2-ply construction gives this belt its strength and firmness—ensuring it holds your cartridges securely without rolling or sagging. Both layers are made from top-grain leather, joined and stitched along the edges for maximum resilience and a clean, refined finish.

Every belt is completed with a solid brass buckle, fastened using sturdy Chicago screws, allowing easy removal or replacement if desired. The concealed stitching adds both durability and a sleek appearance, while the hand-burnished edges enhance the overall smoothness and polish. The final touch is a natural leather polish that protects the surface and deepens the rich color tone.

Built for 12 Gauge Shotgun Shell

Designed for versatility, this cartridge belt can hold 12 gauge shotgun shell.

Each loop is hand-stitched to ensure a snug, precise fit, holding your ammunition securely in place while still allowing for smooth access and reloading. The craftsmanship ensures that every loop maintains its form and strength even after years of use.

Accurate Sizing for a Perfect Fit

Choosing the right belt size is essential for comfort and performance. Since this belt is typically worn over a trouser belt and outer clothing, it needs to allow for extra layers.

To determine your perfect size:

• Use your dress belt size (the one you wear on trousers) as the tightest hole on your cartridge belt.

• If you’re unsure of your belt size, lay your regular belt flat and measure from the buckle end to the most used hole—this will be your correct measurement.

Your new cartridge belt will be made with nine total holes, including eight additional holes for adjustment. For instance, if your tightest hole size is 38 inches, the belt will comfortably extend up to 46 inches, giving you flexibility when wearing thicker clothing or outdoor gear.

For belts larger than 50 inches, please reach out before ordering, as these require special sizing.

Designed with Purpose

Every detail of this Leather Cartridge Belt is designed for practical use and long-term reliability. The wide 3¼-inch profile distributes weight evenly across the hips for better comfort during long shooting sessions. The 2-ply, 16–17 oz thickness ensures superior stiffness and structure, strong enough to carry ammunition and holsters without bending or rolling.

The shotgun riser option adds a raised strip at the bottom of the loops, elevating shells for faster and easier speed loading—ideal for competitive shooters. You can also specify holster spacing during checkout, and the number of loops can be adjusted accordingly to ensure proper fit and function.

Leather Options & Stitching Choices

Available in two rich leather colors—Light Brown, Dark Brown, —each belt showcases the natural grain and texture of real leather. Stitching is available in light or dark thread at no additional cost. The thread color can complement or contrast your leather choice for a refined, authentic look that suits your style.

Each belt develops a unique patina over time, growing softer and darker with use—creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your adventures.

Traditional 2-Ply Manufacturing Process

Each Leather Cartridge Belt  begins with a premium full-grain leather hide, hand-cut and shaped using a draw knife. The edges are machine-rounded, then paired with a second piece of leather that is thinned to balance weight and flexibility. The two layers are carefully stitched together on an air-powered sewing machine, ensuring perfect tension and strength throughout.

After stitching, the belt edges are trimmed, dyed, and polished by hand. The buckle is then attached with a secure Chicago screw, ensuring long-term durability and easy replacement when needed.
