When people first come into our stores they so often seem to gravitate towards these very special genuine crocodile belts. Unlike classic crocodile belts made from the more delicate belly skin of the crocodile, these belts are made from the skin that runs along the back and tail, inherently containing the trademark boney protective plates synonymous with crocodiles. As such the belt is rugged, chunky, somewhat prehistoric with a distinctly masculine look. Most importantly this is a skin that has been tanned completely by hand, with the colour applied by brush and sponge in several applications to give a uniquely toned, hand finished look and feel. The nature of the skin with its deep ridges means that the colour is absorbed in varying ways giving a belt that has great tonality, with deeper and lighter tones throughout. It is a stunning belt for jeans or smart casual wear that always draws attention. Importantly make sure to choose a buckle that is a little heavier/weighty to stay in keeping with the chunky feel of the crocodile skin. A classic prong style is fine but if you are feeling more extravagant then be my guest! This is without doubt a standout style, the ultimate statement jeans belt! ** Please note that this product cannot be shipped outside of the UK due to customs restrictions on the movement of exotic skins - Please contact us for further information **
