Your Beltmaker's First Name

Bills Khakis BeltMy bartender is Bradley. My tailor is Andy. My barber is Jodi (male). And my belt maker is Floyd. How do I know that? Bills Khakis has entered the belt business with 2 new belts [cleverly named the Model 1 and Model 2] which are made exclusively by Floyd. 

We can't say it enough, but there are a lot of reasons why we love Bills Khakis. Their pants, their people, and their brand. One reason, which normally is not that important to us, is that they make all of their products -- every single one -- in the USA. Most are made in their headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania.

The belts, however, are made by a guy named Floyd, a second generation Amish beltmaker. The belts are very reasonably priced at $65 USD (we feel like we may have to start using that to be clear). They are made of a high quality English bridle leather with stainless steel rivets & belt buckles. While we have every belt in stock right now, it is a two-week lead time for them once we run out of a size or color, so best to reserve one now. Best of all, when someone compliments you on the belt, you can say "My beltmaker Floyd made it for me".
