An Easy Sense of Polish
The red-brown leather and black buckle create a deep color with an easy sense of polish. Together they give the belt a polished finish that works without feeling overdone.
One Piece, No Shortcuts
Top-grain cow leather gives the 1.38" strap density and structure, and the smooth, even-grain finish carries through its full length. Cut to your ordered size, it is proportioned for jeans and casual trousers.
Adjustment Without Compromise
A low-profile automatic face gives the black buckle its look, while the holeless ratchet track underneath does the actual work, fine-tuning the fit a notch at a time. Release the lever to remove it, or pair it with another 1.38" Hedonist Chicago component.
For Those Who Like Things Precise
This 1.38" casual ratchet belt in red-brown with a black buckle suits someone who wants a fit dialed in exactly, not approximated between two holes. The smooth leather keeps it practical, and it is easy to build on with other Hedonist Chicago straps and buckles.

PACKAGING
Premium branded gift box
We use carefully selected full-grain leather and premium materials chosen for durability, character, and everyday performance. Because genuine leather is a natural material, each piece has its own unique grain and develops a rich patina over time, making it even more distinctive with use.

Your trouser waist size. The strap ships pre-trimmed to that measurement. The ratchet track provides about an inch of micro-adjustment in either direction. No holes. Between sizes, order up. Retrimming, if needed, follows the printed guide on the strap back.
Strong contrast, the warm red-brown strap against the dark black plate buckle is a high-contrast combination. The HC logo is laser-engraved on the black buckle face. This combination reads as bold and works in casual and smart-casual contexts where you want the belt to be a visible element.
Slide the strap through the buckle, pull to preferred tightness, and the automatic buckle locks at that position. Press the lever on the back to release. The ratchet track inside the strap has teeth at quarter-inch intervals, over thirty positions across the strap length.
Yes. All HC 1.38-inch ratchet buckles and straps are interchangeable. Press the lever, slide the strap out, and fit any other HC 1.38-inch component. The red-brown strap with a silver buckle gives a warm-bright combination; with gun metal it's warm-cool.
Wipe with a dry cloth after use. For marks, a barely damp cloth and air drying away from heat works well. Apply neutral leather conditioner once or twice a year in a thin coat. Keep away from dark denim and prolonged direct sunlight to preserve the red-brown finish.
Yes, free personalization is available on request. Up to 40 characters on the back of the strap, 1 inch from the tip. Options: Hot Stamping or Gold, Silver, Black, or White Foil Stamping. Font: Goudy Cursive. For custom placement, contact us before placing the order. Adds 1 to 2 business days.
