Cheers with your buds, pick out your favorite color of leather, and have a custom fitted belt made for your next occasion, or favorite outfit. We've been making leather belts for three generations but have never allowed the public to come in, until now. Hand select their favorite combo - you can choose from seven different colors of belting leather, apply a black, white or brown stitch, and then choose from hundreds of different styled vintage and new belt buckles. And as always, we can emboss your initials free of charge!

Needing some ideas on how to entertain your bachelor or bachelorette party? Bring them into The Belt Bar at Make Smith Leather Co. and get everyone set up with a custom fitted belt. We have a leather craftsman on hand to tailor to your needs. And best of all, you can sip a little bit of complimentary bourbon while you relax in The Belt Bar lounge. As we say at Make Smith, "A belt for a belt!"

About American Made

American Made spotlights the maker, supports the local, and celebrates the handmade. The program is made up of people and communities that have turned their passion for quality craftsmanship and well-designed goods into a way of life. For more than 20 years, Martha Stewart has celebrated this spirit of innovation in the pages of her magazines and on her television shows. Now, through American Made, Martha Stewart and the editors of Martha Stewart Living are spotlighting the next generation of great American makers: entrepreneurs, artisans, and small-business owners who are creating beautiful, inspiring, useful products; pioneering new industries; improving local communities; and changing the way we eat, shop, work, and live. More about the American Made contest can be seen, here.
