Massdrop x The British Belt Co. Dress Belt

Chief Product Officer

Mar 2, 2017

Hello Friends,
Thanks for coming to another Massdrop Collaboration launch!
People have been making leather goods for thousands of years. It’s one of the oldest industries on earth and as a result, it’s one of the most competitive, and heavily optimized industries. Generally speaking, quality in leather goods scales linearly with cost. This is because all the factors that separate good from bad leather products come down to materials and manufacturing process.
With the Dress Belt project, to achieve our goal of redefining what you can get at the entry price point; we had to find a partner who had substantial scale, a willingness to sacrifice profit to generate more value for the community, and clearly the highest level of quality possible. The British Belt Co was the clear choice. They have access to the right materials, they have the craftsmanship, and they understand the goal of Massdrop Collaborations; making enthusiast level products accessible.
The result is a belt made from French Calfskin, Nubuck, and solid brass, finely stitched, with edges burnished to a deep black luster.
These details came from our Men’s Style community, through their voting activity, through their purchasing activity, and through their discussions.
We’re excited to make this available next week. In the meantime, feel free to post your questions/thoughts/feelings here, and engage with the poll regarding buckle options. We’re launching with one buckle to start, but if there’s enough interest, we can expand to offer a raw brass finish as well (brass + walnut has my vote)

WillSome larger sizes would have been great, even at an additional cost.

datglassthoIt is calf skin, baby cows aren't as long as adult cows as far as I know, so I am not sure how they could offer larger sizes.

WillGreat, trying to find a 46" dress belt typically means settling for a department store piece that falls apart or going over $100 for a quality piece which is tough to spend for something as ubiquitous as a belt. Would love to be in for 2, if not 3 of these at this price if you can secure that 46" size.
