The CLASSIC MERLOT leather belt is like a fine wine, the more it ages the better it gets. Rich in red and brown tones, this makes a great men's dress belt.
DESCRIPTION
Often referred to as cordovan, oxblood or burgundy over the years, the CLASSIC MERLOT looks just like it sounds. Like a fine wine, our premium bridle leather will look better with age. Colors vary from dark which turn to bright, vivid reds and browns. Analines are translucent rich dyes that allow these colors to be seen under the surface of the full grain. Later they will oxidize to create a patina. Not to be confused with its leather cousin latigo, bridle leather is cleaner, more expensive, and not as oily. This classic color has been matched with similar dress shoe colors for years.
The CLASSIC MERLOT is part of our collection and collection. Also available in (1.25" / 32mm) and (1.75" / 44mm) widths. All of our belts are in the USA. Find those and all of our available online.
