One of the more commonly used clothing accessory used by men, women and children is the belt. It is a band, made of leather, cloth or other materials worn around the waist. The primary purpose is to hold up the trousers but it is also commonly used as accessory. In women’s garments, it is often used to accent the clothing, especially when a material of another color is used. The contrast becomes a part of the style.

Men who wear belts prefer them in leather material. A leather ranger belt is a dress belt made of fine leather. A high quality ranger belt will be made of top-grain leather with a hand-rubbed, oil tanned finish. It usually has a full lining for superior comfort. There are many styles to choose from, some with silver-tone or brass buckles. Others are decorated with embossed patterns.
