This REPRODUCTION Leather item is Made in the USA. This a quality reproduction item made as close as is modernly possible. Sewing is done by machine to keep costs down (except where hand sewing is required). The leather is oiled, except for the White Buff Leather and the Enameled Leather, (usually Neatsfoot Oil) to protect it, but is usually soaked in by the time you receive it (we do not use Neatsfoot Oil Compound as it can damage stitching).

If you want to speed up the process leave it outdoors in the sun on a hot day. Also the more you oil it the darker it will become.

Black

Russet

This item was used by both Union and Confederate foot troops (Infantry, Artillery, etc.) Waist belts for U.S. troops were black leather. Some Confederate troops had black leather belts, while others had them in russet leather.

    It is available as:
       Belt ONLY,
       Belt with Brass Keeper but NO BUCKLE,
       Belt with Buckle but NO brass Keeper
       or Belt with Buckle and Keeper.

The belt plates (buckles) are also available separately. There are U.S. and C.S. stamped brass and lead filled, as well as some solid brass belt plates (buckles). These belt plates (buckles) have two prongs at one end and one prong at the other end. They are not made to work on modern belt blanks.

NOTE: DO NOT order a belt buckle for Sabre & NCO/Officer Waist Belts for this belt, ONLY belt plates (which are in fact belt buckles) will work with this belt. If you want a waist belt with a Belt Buckle you need to order the "Waist Belt for Foot NCO's, Navy and Officers".

NOTE: Belts should be ordered by WAIST SIZE, not the size over clothing. Belts are made longer (usually 4'') to adjust for going over the coat. If you will NOT be wearing this belt over a coat, then order your belt 2 inches smaller than your waist size.

NOTE: The Confederacy had regulations for a similar belt, with the following changes. The C.S. regulations called for a belt with silk in the branch of service color under the braid and the rows of braid to show the grade of the officer (i.e.: junior officer (1 row), company grade officer (2 rows), senior officer (3 rows) or general officer (4 rows). We do not currently offer the Confederate regulation belt, but you could wear the U.S. version as Non-Regulation C.S..
