Join the brotherhood of men reclaiming tradition with animal-based clothing, just like our ancestors. The Frontiersman’s Belt is a dependable companion crafted from 10 oz (4mm thick) chrome-free, vegetable-tanned leather and solid brass hardware. Available in honey or black, it’s dyed-through (so it won’t lose color if scratched) and greased for better water resistance and pliability.
Naturally Tanned, Naturally Better
Unlike mass-produced belts made with plastic-based “vegan leather,” this belt contains zero plastics, synthetics, or toxic chemicals—just real, full-grain leather that ages beautifully. Our veg-tan leather is tanned using the bark of the acacia tree, avoiding the heavy metals found in chrome-tanned leather that can leach into your skin, disrupt hormones, and pose long-term health risks. Instead, this traditional tanning method creates a leather that is strong, durable, and rich with character.
To enhance its performance, the leather is greased with fish oil—odorless yet deeply conditioning—to keep it soft, pliable, and naturally water-resistant.
Built for a Lifetime
Handcrafted in Colombia, The Frontiersman’s Belt features solid brass screws, making the brass buckles interchangeable for customization and longevity. Built to stand the test of time, this belt is designed to be a companion for life, not just a season.
The leather comes from grass-fed, pasture-raised cattle in Colombia, where industrialized grain-fed cows basically don’t exist. This means stronger, healthier leather from animals raised the way nature intended—free to roam, graze, and develop durable hides that last for generations.
Sizes are based on pant size, if you wear an odd pant size we recommend you size up. The belt has five holes one inch apart.

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 absolutely love my leather belt from Mettle and Hide! The craftsmanship is outstanding, with durable, high-quality leather that feels both sturdy and stylish. Its unique, original design adds a touch of character to any outfit, and knowing it's made in Colombia by skilled artisans makes it even more special. This is easily one of the best accessories I've ever owned.
The leather is Made in Colombia & the brass buckles displays premium quality. Would definitely gift this to clients, friends, or family!
