Mahogany Costello Perforated Prong Belt

There are belts made for those who look, and belts made for those who truly see. The Costello (named fondly after the eponymous star of Abbott & Costello fame) has always rewarded closer inspection — and nowhere does it reveal itself more beautifully than in this rich dark brown. The hand-tanning and individual hand-burnishing process creates a depth of colour that shifts from warm chestnut at the centre to deep, dark chocolate at the edges, a tonal complexity that no machine process can replicate and that only improves with age and wear.

The brogue-inspired circular perforations running the full length of both edges frame the leather with a quiet craft reference that feels entirely at home in this colour — brown and brogue having a long and distinguished shared history in the world of fine leather goods.

The aged gold arrowhead prong buckle is the natural companion here. Warmer and richer in tone than its silver counterpart, the aged gold finds an immediate affinity with the honeyed depths of the burnished leather — the two sitting together with a mellow, earthy harmony that feels completely right. The arrowhead front edge gives the belt its distinctive forward flow, setting it apart from any conventional buckle form.

Handcrafted in our Spanish atelier, this is the Costello at its most characterful.

How to wear it: The brown belt the wardrobe has been waiting for. Exceptional with tan, camel, olive, and earthy tones — and equally at home with navy, grey, or tweed for a classic country-to-city look. Smart enough for tailoring, relaxed enough for the weekend. A belt for every occasion a brown belt is called for, and then some.
