About Our Leather Goods
I was in college studying for my MFA in Sculpture when one day I decided I needed a belt. I knew exactly what I didn't want - a normal, boring leather belt just like every other one I had ever worn. I was looking for something different and exciting, but I didn't have much money to spend. I decided to put my sculpture skills to use and make my own. I used some aluminum I had leftover from a sculpture project to make the original Excalibur belt. It had a smooth shape and a locking pin design, totally different from other belts.
I wore my handmade belt to a few parties to show it off. Friends and family started to ask me to make them cool belts too, and after about a year of making them as a fun side project, I decided to start a company. I officially began my adventure with Timeless Belts in 2020. Since then, we have created 37 unique mechanical belt buckle designs and counting, traveled all over America showing off our awesome belts in 35 cities across 21 states and helped countless people keep their pants up.
Meet Your Belt Makers
Timeless Belts is a small team of two people - me and my partner Cristina. We take great pride in our leather goods to make sure each and every leather belt we make is of high quality.
What is an Obscure Belt?
An Obscure Belt is a completely new type of belt buckle. Our awesome belt buckles use a metal sizing stud that screws into the leather belt holes. To adjust your size, just unscrew the stud by hand and move it to a different belt hole.
When we say we made a completely new type of belt buckle, we mean it! We were awarded two US patents for our unique designs. Each buckle is a little wearable lock that uses a hook, steel, and a magnet to open and close. This results in less wear and tear on the leather.

Rigorous product testing
We put all of our products through rigorous testing to make sure everything works perfectly. For our newest belt buckle, the Fractal 2.0, we created a machine to stress test the design and ensure it could stand up to the rigors of long-term daily wear. We set it up to perform more than 73,000 open/close cycles, simulating roughly ten years of use. For more information head over to the Fractal's product page.
A better buckle design
Our unique belt buckles have two main advantages over traditional belts:
1. The belt does not bend in half every time you put it on. This prevents the leather from deforming, cracking, and stretching out where the holes are. Your belt will look better and last longer than a normal belt.
2. The flap on the end of the belt tucks behind the buckle and inside your belt loops. It lays flat while you wear it and doesn’t flop around looking sloppy and getting in the way.
