Must-Have for Fall: Wiley Brothers Belts
October 6, 2008 by Ouiser Boudreaux
Classic style is my favorite. For one, it’s timeless, so it’ll never go out of style, and secondly, it’s smart. The recent economic downturn has me definitely watching my wallet, so while I’m not buying this, you might see me buying one of these. Similarly, classic accessories are a worthwhile buy, and if you’re a supporter of local business, you’re in luck: Wiley Brothers Belts.
Chances are, if you’ve ever stepped foot on the Downtown Mall or certainly ever attended The Foxfield Races, you’ve seen this classic belt modeled by many. The classic Wiley belt is the 4-loop hoof pick belt. The leather is English bridle leather, naturally tanned, and exceptional in quality and finish. These belts will last you a lifetime.
Each belt is hand made right here in Charlottesville. The duo behind the belts are brothers Peter and Marcus Wiley, longtime Charlottesvillians. They have created an unrivaled product both in workmanship and quality. Other styles are available:
The Slip Cinch Belt
The Traditional Buckle
I love these belts. They’re original, they’re high quality, stylish, and functional. Mine get quite a lot of wear, and will get more this season. Anyone attending the Montpelier Hunt Races or The Blessing of the Hounds ?
Where can you get a Wiley Brothers belt? You can order directly through the website: www.wileybelts.com or pick one (or two or three!) up at Scarpa , Eljo’s , or Scarpa , Eljo’s , or Redd on 2nd Street downtown. Happy shopping, and cheers to classic style.
Classic is always stylish! Do they make ladies belts also? I love the clean lines!
You bet Laura, these belts are made for both men and women. You can order the specific length you need.
Thanks for the heads up on custom made belts right here in cville. Very stylish and good quality. I want one… or two.
