The Expertise of an Athison Men's Braided Belt

Athison, an Italian family business founded in 1913, is the specialist brand for men's braided belts. As elegant as it is practical, this type of belt is of exceptional quality, both in its design and its finishes. A luxury belt to express all the refinement and elegance of the man who wears it.

Men's Braided Belt, the Origin

The Expertise: Since 1970, the Italian brand has been the world's leading manufacturer of men's braided belts. Its unique know-how was inspired by both:

Its knowledge in braiding materials such as cables and ropes, originally its core business;
And an ancient technique invented by Leonardo da Vinci that enabled the first leather braidings, a technique now reproduced by machines with innovative cutting-edge technology.

The Finishes: each men's braided belt stands out for its exceptional finishes that add a touch of elegance and class:

Buckles: these luxury belts have two buckle models available. One is made of solid chrome-plated brass and the other is made of gold-colored metal, both anti-corrosive materials treated against oxidation, allowing the belt to remain intact over time.
Loop & Tip: regardless of the belt material, its loop and tip are made of natural leather with a lightly stitched, very discreet seam.
Color: for leather braided belts, the leather tanning is done using a natural vegetable technique that makes the color more "true" and keeps it impeccable over time, a technique that is also more environmentally friendly.

An Italian expertise that combines craftsmanship, modernity, and finesse. A luxury men's belt crafted in every detail, perfect to express boldness and charisma.

Men's Braided Belt, the Ingenious

The braiding of these high-end Athison belts has many advantages beyond its chic and playful look. Indeed, the flexibility allowed by the braiding system, combined with the elasticity of certain materials (notably viscose), allows the belt to adjust to all body shapes and offers you the possibility to adjust its size infinitely! Moreover, the braiding makes the buckle fastening system much simpler as it does not require holes and can close at any point on the belt.

Men's Braided Belt, a Material for Every Style

The men's braided belt is an essential accessory for a masculine outfit. The fineness of its braiding and the possible mix of material colors offer many possibilities to match your braided belt with your outfits.

The Materials: it is important to choose the material of your men's braided belt carefully so that it matches your style. Athison belts are available in 3 different materials:

Leather Belt: in dark brown or light brown, the leather used for men's braided belts is cowhide. This type of leather is known for its suppleness and thickness, which provides the necessary durability to maintain its quality over time.
Suede Belt: this material is known for its softness and suppleness. Very light, this belt stands out with its elegant finish. The navy blue and light brown colors of suede braided belts have a sober look that allows the models to blend easily into an outfit.
Artificial Silk Belt: also called viscose, the artificial silk composing these belts has the advantage of being very elastic and flexible. Each men's braided belt in viscose therefore adapts infinitely to your body shape. This noble material also allows beautiful color combinations, notably like this tricolor model or the one in shades of blue.

Note: if you particularly like leather belts, also take a look at the Mazarin belts in calf leather and exotic leather!

The Colors: the men's braided belt is the refined accessory of an outfit, the discreet detail that allows you to personalize your style. Here are our tips for choosing the belt color:

Solid color belts: generally, their color matches the color of your shoes (such as dark brown and light brown leather braided men's belts or suede belts);
Color blends: multicolored braided models have a more playful look that will allow you to dare an original detail with your belt while still remaining understated. For example, if you are wearing a dress outfit in blue tones, choose this navy, sky blue, and white belt. And if you like casual outfits with jeans, for example, this multicolored model will be the original touch of your outfit.

Note: men's braided viscose belts have a more casual look which, when worn with dressier outfits, will bring the perfect casual chic touch to your looks!

# Find the ideal size of men's braided belt according to your body shape

It’s not enough to find the belt model you like to be satisfied… you also need the perfect size that will ensure your outfits stay perfectly in place while providing comfort!

To determine the belt size you need, two measurements are possible:

From an old belt: measure the length of one of your belts from the end of the buckle to the third hole of the belt.
From your waist: measure your waist circumference by placing the tape measure through the belt loops of your pants.

Once you have the measurement, refer to the size guide at the top right of the product page.
