Studded Belts

About

Studded Belts, Hand-Built in Los Angeles Full-grain leather. Studs set by hand, one at a time. Solid buckles and reinforced stitching. Red Monkey has been building leather goods in Los Angeles for over 30 years, and the belts are made the same way as everything else here — to order, by hand, to be worn hard. No mass production. No templates. No two pieces exactly alike. What Separates a Real Studded Belt Full-grain leather — holds a stud under tension. Bonded and faux leather tears out around the post and the studs start dropping. Hand-set studs — each prong is folded down against the back of the belt. Machine-pressed studs on a production line work loose. Buckle and hardware — solid, not plated pot metal. The buckle is what fails first on a cheap belt. Weight — a studded belt carries the weight of its hardware all day. Thin leather sags and curls; ours doesn't. Choose the Correct Belt Size Do not use your pant size. Measure a belt you already own that fits well, from where the buckle meets the leather to the center hole you normally use. Order that measurement. If you are unsure, contact us before ordering. We would rather help you get it right than build the wrong belt. Studded belts ordered in the wrong size are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Studded Belt FAQs Are these real leather? Yes.

The studs are set by hand and the prongs are folded flat against the back of the belt. That is the difference between a belt that keeps its studs and one that doesn't. Men's or women's? Both. Sizing is by belt measurement rather than by category, so order the length that fits. How long does a made-to-order belt take? Build times vary by design and current workload. Check the individual product page, or contact us if you need it by a particular date. Can a studded belt be made to order in a custom size or layout? Often, yes. Custom work is
