Choc/Mustard Mix Perforated Wilder Ridge Prong Belt

When I set out to design the Wilder belt, I wanted to create something that brings joy and energy to your look without shouting about it - a belt that adds personality through thoughtful detail rather than obvious statement-making. It's named after Gene Wilder, and I think it captures that same spirit of playful sophistication he embodied so well.
We've crafted this belt from a beautiful hand-burnished chocolate brown leather that has real depth and character. The burnishing process brings out those natural variations in tone - darker in some areas, lighter in others - giving each belt its own unique patina from the start. It's the kind of leather that only gets better with wear, developing that rich, lived-in quality that tells the story of where you've been.
The key to this design is in the perforation detail. We've worked tiny holes across the entire surface of the belt, creating this subtle texture and visual interest. But here's where it gets fun - we've backed those perforations with a contrast mustard tone that peeks through, adding this unexpected pop of colour that's playful without being loud. It's just enough to catch the eye and add a little personality, giving the belt a slightly sporty, energetic feel that lifts whatever you're wearing.
For this version, I've selected a solid brass buckle with a warm gold finish that creates this beautiful tonal harmony with the chocolate leather and mustard accents. What really makes this buckle special is the decorative rope-like detailing that runs around the entire edge - it adds texture and visual interest, giving the buckle a slightly Western-inspired character without ever feeling costume-y. That gold tone brings everything together in this cohesive, warm palette that feels rich and sophisticated. It's substantial and beautifully crafted, the kind of hardware that elevates the entire piece.
This is what I love about the Wilder - it's incredibly versatile. The chocolate brown is a wardrobe staple that works with virtually everything, but that mustard detail adds just enough unexpected colour to make it interesting. Wear it with navy chinos and a white shirt for smart casual that's anything but boring, thread it through weekend jeans for effortless style, or pair it with earthy tones like olive, tan, or rust where that pop of mustard really adds a lovely pep of colour. The warm gold buckle with its rope detailing makes this version particularly perfect for autumn and winter looks, adding that touch of richness and crafted detail that works so well in cooler months. It's sporty enough for relaxed looks but refined enough for smarter occasions - the kind of belt that becomes your reliable go-to because it just makes everything look a little more considered.
