Product Review

In the fifth and sixth centuries men often wore tunics if not more than one. Medieval belts were usually really long to accommodate the many layers they wore. A belt was usually worn with the tunic and might have had a buckle, as Owen-Crocker states, ?pouched over the belt?. Leather belts, often decorated, were the most common. Intricate belts, worn to be seen, were placed in view while an additional belt or girdle held the trouser in place under the tunic. Our Simple Brown Medieval Leather Belt with Steel Ring is handcrafted using fine quality leather that has been tanned and treated with a steel ring buckle. This simple belt is great for costumes in re-enactments, plays, or Renaissance Festivals.
