Pre-order – G.07 Field Belt – A Belt For Life

Field Belt – Made For The Long Haul

Introducing the Field Belt, a one-of-a-kind belt crafted for those who appreciate utilitarian design and meticulous craftsmanship. Made to order in small batches, this belt is built to last a lifetime.

The Field Belt features our proprietary design two-spike Conway buckle, a simple yet ingenious structure with no moving parts. Originally used in harnesses for their durability and adjustability, the Conway style design has a history in hard-working and long-lasting equipment.

The buckle is cast in bronze in small batches, right here in Finland. The bronze will develop a stunning patina over time, which you can easily customize by polishing when needed or sanding lightly when you want to brighten it back. 

The belts are made from 3mm vegetable-tanned leather, with edges carefully rounded and polished by hand. The result is a belt designed to serve its wearer for a lifetime.

Background

The Process for the Belt

When we set out to design a belt, we asked ourselves what would a Kasperi Belt embody. Utility, durability, uniqueness, and the ability to get better with time. This led us to the Conway buckle, historically used in harnesses for its simplicity and reliability, where it reliably secured saddles and straps.

We set out to design our proprietary vision of the conway buckle. A two spike conway, cast by hand. The belt’s buckle is made from bronze, chosen for its strength, versatility, and capacity to age gracefully. After extensive prototyping, we refined the design and worked closely with our casting expert to perfect the tooling. Each buckle is cast in small batches, ensuring quality and attention to detail at every step.

Sizing

Measure belt size with a tape measure from buckle to center hole. Due to differences in how pants are fitted, it is important to measure your size. The most reliable way to make the correct choice is to put on your favourite pair of jeans, and measure the circumference of your waist with a flexible tape measure when wearing. Compare with belt size (buckle to center hole) measure. When in between sizes, choose one size up. 

Care

Maintain and Enjoy

The Conway Belt requires minimal care to maintain its rugged elegance. Periodically condition the leather with Kasperi Leather Wax or another beeswax-based leather conditioner to keep it supple and protected.

The bronze buckle will naturally develop a patina over time, enhancing its unique character. If desired, it can be polished to bring out its original sheen. Either way it will age gracefully to tell your story.
