Midnight Blue Costello Perforated Prong Belt
If you appreciate the craft that goes into a great pair of shoes, you will understand immediately what makes this belt special. The Costello (named fondly after the eponymous star of Abbott & Costello fame) is built on the same principles — smooth calfskin, hand-tanned and individually hand-burnished to develop that deep, rich tonality with its characteristic darkening at the edges, a depth of colour that no machine process can replicate and that only improves with age and wear.
The circular perforation detail running the full length of both edges is a direct reference to the brogue tradition — that fine row of precisely punched holes that has distinguished quality leather goods for generations. Here it frames the burnished navy leather with a quiet elegance, adding texture and visual rhythm without ever interrupting the belt's clean, confident lines.
At 35mm this is a belt with real presence — wide enough to anchor a trouser waistband with authority, refined enough to work with tailoring as naturally as it does with smart casual dressing. The satin silver buckle is the final considered touch: its slight arrowhead front edge giving the whole piece a forward-facing energy and a distinctive silhouette that sets it apart from the conventional rectangular frame.
Handcrafted in our Spanish atelier, the Costello is a belt for those who know their craft.
How to wear it: The perfect companion for navy tailoring — trouser suits, blazers, and smart trousers all benefit from this belt's depth of colour and quiet detail. Equally sharp with dark denim and a crisp shirt for a smart casual look that holds up to the closest inspection. A belt that gets better with every wear.
