Anderson's textile braided blue belt

An elasticated, woven belt is so much nicer on the bike. And offers many benefits. An elasticated belt will allow you to alter where your jeans sit, whether it be on, above, or just below the waist. And that's important because this will allow you to also adjust where the hem of the jean sits. Loosen the belt to drop the jean when you're on the bike, perhaps. Tighten the belt off the bike to raise the hem. In theory, you could do this with a leather belt, but a leather belt will never have the micro adjustability of a woven belt. A leather belt will never be as comfortable. And a leather belt will never stay in the same place all day long in the way that a woven belt will be; and that's because, over time, a leather belt will relax.

Anderson's is an Italian company. They only make belts, and they've been making them in the same factory in Parma for over 50 years. Their belts are made entirely by hand; and making one belt entails more than 100 separate processes. To call them artisanal belts would not be inaccurate; but such a description does not to justice to the quality of the end product. These belts are seriously lovely; works of art.

Make no mistake. There's nothing lightweight or flimsy about these belts. They are the strongest, woven belts you will ever come across. They will keep your jeans sat exactly where you want them to be sat. They will do that without any compromise in terms of comfort. And they will do it all day long. We are very excited about these belts. In our view they are the perfect way to keep a motorcycle jean in the right place.

We know how conservative most bikers are, so whilst Anderson's offer an enormous range of colours for their braided belts, we have gone for black, brown, khaki green and blue.

We are offering three sizes. The smallest size is for 32" to 34" waists, the middle size is 36" to 38", the largest is 40" to 42". Now these measurements are based on your jean size rather than your actual waist size. If you wear a jean labelled as a waist 33", you will want the smallest size. If your jean has a 42" waist, you will want the largest belt.
