THE BELTS

Originally, belts were designed for function rather than fashion. They secured clothing, carried tools, and accompanied soldiers and workers for centuries. As trousers with belt loops became common during the twentieth century, the leather belt evolved into an everyday accessory. Simple yet practical, it quickly became a defining element of classic menswear. Today, a quality leather belt represents timeless style, balancing function, durability, and elegance.

He favored understated leather belts with classic buckles, proving that style comes from quality rather than decoration. His effortless approach continues to inspire modern menswear today.
