Custom Leather Belts are Worth It

Leather belts are an affordable investment in your wardrobe. You can expect to pay somewhere in the range of $75-$150 for a well-designed product. Look at it this way - the price of buying one good quality handmade belt today is significantly less than paying for many cheap mass-produced belts that constantly break over the years. Buy it once, buy it for life!

Let's get down to brass tacks. How much does an Obscure Belt cost? We keep our pricing simple - standard and custom belt sizes are the same price. Black, brown, and distressed grey belts are $105-$125, and limited edition styles retail for $115-150.

Don't let prices scare you off from trying out our leather belts! We also have a selection of "Imperfect Belts" on sale. These more affordable options are made with the same quality materials, but have minor cosmetic imperfections and are not available in custom leather sizes.

Most traditional belts fail after a few months of use because they are meant to. It's called planned obsolescence, a terrible yet common practice in the fashion industry that results in tons of wasted products. The belt below is a standard reversible belt that you can find at any big box store. It started to break down and look horrible after less than a year of wear. Don't waste your money on products designed to fall apart when you can easily afford a much higher quality item.

Obscure's belts are different because they're designed to hold up over time and even look better as they develop a patina. It seems counterintuitive for a company to make something that will last years, if not decades, but we think it is a good design practice.

If properly cared for, you can expect one of our leather belts to last a very long time and may even be something you hand down to one of your kids! But don't just take our word for it. Our fans have great things to say about us - check out one of our rave customer reviews.
