Luxury leather belts are both fashionable and popular for men. While we all use belts to hold our pants in place, we are unaware of the history of belts. The use of belts is, at least, two thousand years old. Leather has been the best choice since the dawn of civilization because they are sturdy, durable, strong yet supple.
The ancient Egyptians always carried leather bags and pouches but the first example of leather belts we know are from Ancient Greek and Roman civilization. They were not fashionable but were worn for practical reasons. They were not used to hold the pants in place either as people used to were tunic and robes. However, belts were extensively used to carry weapons, tools, purses, pouches and more which used to be hung from the belt, People wore sashes and straps for carrying various things even in the Bronze Age. However, Greeks and Romans refined the idea and wore what we call the modern day belt. We have seen many historical films where the Greek or Roman soldiers drew their swords from the belts and this is, in fact, historically correct.
Coming back to the modern age, leather belts are worn for the original purpose of holding the pants in place as well as for making a fashion statement. Personalized belts and buckles are available for the fashion conscious people as well. If the strap is worn out, one can opt for leather belt strap replacement instead of buying a whole new belt.
