Why Are Leather Belts Expensive?

• All leather is made from animal skin, although
  there are several varieties. The various types of
  leather go through numerous procedures that
  influence the material quality and end-product
  costs. The wide market value of leather belts is
  related in addition to the kind of leather used
  to produce the belt you wish to purchase.
• If you want the greatest quality leather belt and
  aren't too focused on finding a low price, go for
  a full-grain leather belt. It is derived from the
  top layer of the hide and is extremely robust and
  tough. A belt manufactured from this type of
  leather will survive for years and will stretch
  minimally.

Let's take a look at some of the most well-known
leathers and why they're worth the price.

• Alligator Skin Belt
• Alligator leather is more costly since it is in
  great demand. Only a few products are
  manufactured from Alligator hide, making it
  incredibly rare. To gain access to the massive
  area of the hide, manufacturers often employ the
  high-quality belly side of the Alligator skin.
  Fake alligator skin belts are also uncommon since
  it is difficult to replicate the exact pattern
  and feel of genuine alligator skin.
• Shark Skin Belt
• Theyre a variety of different unique benefits of
  Shark Skin leather which makes it definitely
  worth buying. This leather is so tough that back
  in the 18th century it was utilized as sandpaper.
  The hide has hard scales which are grounded down
  to make the leather smooth which gives it the
  pebbled appearance. One of the most unique
  qualities of buying a sharkskin belt is that it
  is waterproof. Sharks are aquatic, so its not
  surprising that their hides are naturally
  water-resistant.
• Elephant Leather Belt
• Even though it is less expensive, this leather is
  considered exotic. Elephant leather is a
  one-of-a-kind material with a rippling pattern
  that is thick and durable. Elephant leather of
  excellent quality is defined by its African
  roots. It's one of the toughest leathers for
  belts. An elephant leather belt would not break
  or split in the light. This type of footwear is
  exceptionally pleasant because elephant skin
  includes open, soft fibres. This leather is
  considered to be the sixth most strong material
  for blunt and sharp items, as well as the third
  most temperature resistant.

Ostrich Skin Belt

The most expensive item on our list is the
Ostrich Skin Belt, but it is definitely worth the
money. Ostrich leather is one of the greatest
varieties of leather in the world due to its
softness and high durability, and many people
wish to acquire it. The presence of beautiful
follicles on this leather complicates and raises
the cost of production. There is also a scarcity
of Ostriches, which adds to making Ostrich skin
leather one of the most costly leathers.

Stingray Belt

Stingray belt is another popular product that is
manufactured with this high in demand and less in
supply aquatic hide. These skins are from wild
animals, and as such the supply is vulnerable to
weather patterns and other external forces.
Stingray skin is a product used in fashion
products which increases its demand. When
designers and fashion houses are using stingray
skin on products in their seasonal collections,
it can drive the price up.


Investing in your belt is absolutely worthwhile
because it will last for years and years. See
