Born from Craft, Backed by Conviction.
Mettle & Hide exists for one reason: to bring meaning back to the things we wear. We don’t chase trends. We don’t greenwash. We craft belts the old way — from vegetable-tanned, full-grain leather sourced from responsibly raised, grass-fed cattle, and finished with solid brass hardware that gets better with age.
No plastic. No glue. No synthetic shortcuts. While others push petroleum-based “vegan leather” under the guise of sustainability, we honour the animal, the land, and the lineage behind every piece we make. This is gear with guts. Craft with a conscience. And a legacy you can wear for decades.
Customer Reviews
Excellent quality! As soon as I received this belt, I could tell it was built to last. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the leather feels durable and premium. Definitely a piece that will hold up for years.
You can tell this belt is built with high quality. To start off, the leather has a natural tan look to it, it stretches a bit but does not give in all the way; which is exactly what you want from a leather belt. The buckle feels very sturdy but maintained a sleek look. The branding and the package is amazing as well. This is the first belt that I got that was delivered in an awesome pouch.
Would highly recommend and will definitely come back and buy a different color in the future.

I bought this for my boyfriend and he loved it, best quality leather.
Got Questions? We’ve Got Nothing to Hide.
Straight answers, no marketing fluff.
Is your leather actually sustainable?
Yes — we use full-grain leather from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle. It’s a byproduct of regenerative farms that improve soil health and sequester carbon.
Why don’t you use vegan leather?
Most “vegan” leather is made from plastic or petroleum-based materials like PVC or polyurethane. We believe that’s worse for the planet. Our leather is biodegradable, durable, and rooted in nature.
Is your leather vegetable-tanned?
Absolutely. We use acacia bark and natural tannins, not toxic chromium salts. It’s safer for the planet, our makers, and your skin.
Will the belt stretch or wear out?
After extensive testing, we’ve found the belt may stretch by about one hole with heavy daily wear over time, especially in the first few months. After that, it holds strong.
For most people, that stretch happens gradually over a year or more.
What makes your hardware better?
We use solid brass hardware that’s lead-tested for safety — no mystery metals, no cheap coatings. It’s built to age with the leather, developing a rich, personal patina over time.
Where are your products made?
Each belt is handcrafted in Colombia by skilled artisans who use traditional techniques and fair-wage practices.
What if I order the wrong size?
No worries. We offer easy exchanges — just reach out and we’ll get you the right fit.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes — our 30-Day Field-Test Guarantee means if you don’t love it, you can return it for a full refund. No questions asked.
Wear Something That Actually Means Something.
This isn’t fast fashion. This is heritage-grade leather from grass-fed cattle, crafted by hand, and built to last decades.
No plastic. No compromise. Just purpose.
