Best Leather Belts From Hongmioo
Best Leather Belts From Hongmioo
Leather has been a traditional and a classic material made to make clothing, shoes, and other uses, such as upholstery. Our ancestors used leather almost exclusively as clothing. Made from animal hides, leather was readily available. The ancient Egyptians show leather sandals, clothes, gloves, bottles, shrouds, and buckets in wall paintings from 5000 BC. Leather began to be tanned almost exclusively by the ancient Greeks who are credited with inventing the vegetable tanning process by using tree bark and leaves. This method of using vegetables to tan leather is still in use today. The Romans (who stole almost everything of import from the Greeks and then improved upon it) used tanned leather for clothes, shoes, shields, saddles, and harnesses. Ultimately, there was no limit to what leather could be made for, including belts.

Material of the Belt
Belts can come in many different materials, the most popular being leather, nylon, cotton, or suede. Hongmioo can offer most material because we are professional belt manufacturer in China.
TYPES OF LEATHER BELTS
Hides of animals are very thick, and the tannery usually splits the hide into different layers. The top layer of the hide is called ‘’top-grain leather’’ which is the layer closest to the animal’s hair. The grain of the leather is only visible in this layer. Top-grain leather is an all-encompassing term for full-grain leather and corrected grain leather. Split leather is the layers under the top grain. So what’s the difference, especially when it comes to leather belts? Rest assured, all are genuine leather. However, the difference is in the quality, strength, and cost.
Full-Grain Leather Belts
Full-grain leather belts is the highest-quality leather belt you can make. You can see the full and untouched grain surface, pattern, hair cells, and even any scars the animal may have had. This is partially what contributes to its beauty. This is the strongest and most coveted layer of the animal’s hide. Full-grain leather is just a term for top-grain leather, which is the material that Hongmioo uses for our best leather belts for men and women.
Corrected-Grain Leather Belts
Corrected-grain leather belts is another type of top-grain leather. Corrected-grain leather belts differ from full-grain leather belts in the fact that it has been processed more to remove the scars and scratches from the hide. The surface is usually finished at the tannery so the original grain is no longer visible. It is then given another coat to simulate the hair cell patterns. Due to all this processing, corrected-grain leather belts are considered the second best quality of leather belts.
Split Leather Belts
Next in quality after the corrected- grain leather belts are the split leather belts. Split leather is often used for suede belts. It is often finished to simulate a top -grain leather belt, but it truly can’t be compared. That being said, there are different levels of split leather belts, which you can’t tell just by looks. The further the split leather is from the top-grain leather, the weaker it becomes. Thus, flesh split leather, or the hide right next to the animal itself is incredibly weak.Thus, Hongmioo recommends that a flesh split leather belt truly should be avoided as a best leather belt at all
costs. These leather belts are not as durable as top-grain belts, but they are cheap if that is your primary determining factor when choosing the best leather belt.
Bonded Leather Belts
Bonded leather is not genuine leather. Unfortunately, most leather belts you buy at the store are bonded leather. Like the name implies, bonded leather is leather that has been pieced together, or bonded, to other materials. Also known as reconstituted leather or fiber leather, the percentage of bonded leather in different bonded leather belts you will find is hard to tell from looking at it as most bonded leather is made to resemble top-grain leather. Bonded leather belts break in a short period of time, which usually leaves a bad taste in the consumer’s mouth. These manufacturers often attempt to mislead consumers by saying made of real or genuine leather, when in fact, only one small part of the leather belt is. Hongmioo recommends that you buy the best leather belts from brands you trust. Remember, too, you get what you pay for. Genuine, top-grain leather that is quality-made is pricey.
