Anderson's textile braided dark brown belt Product Information
Most motorcycle belts are thick and heavy leather affairs. They're consistent with the 'tough guy' aesthetic that many of us bikers, somewhat delusionally, still cling to. Of course , such belts will do the job; they will hold your pants up. But such belts are not necessarily comfortable. The wider the belt itself, and the thicker the leather, the less comfortable it can prove. And when you're facing hours in the saddle, that's not always an alluring prospect.
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.
Our belt is made to our specific requirements by a company that is considered by many people in the fashion world to be the maker of the world's finest belts; a company by the name of Anderson's.
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.
We wanted a woven belt in order to offer the highest level of adjustability. We decided on a braided, stretchy textile, as opposed to leather, for the last word in comfort. At 3.5 cm, we went for the widest belt in the Anderson's range. And we wanted their chunkiest, most motorcycling-like buckle. We ended up with one with brushed chrome plating over a brass casting. To reduce the chances of scratching the tank, we chose leather for the belt loop, the buckle holder and the tip.
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, dark brown, khaki green and blue.
All belts are adjustable, but few are as adjustable and versatile as an elasticated, braided belt, which means that as you gain or lose weight, your Anderson's belt will come along for the ride.
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.

Nigel H: Treated Myself!
I finally bit the bullet and dropped nearly £100 on a belt......well Im prone to not wanting to skimp on my kit - the old adage of buy quality, buy once, is my go-to. I havent had much chance to use it on my Belstaff bike jeans as tbh its the middle of winter and pretty well non biking weather up here in N Wales, however Im very impressed with the quality of the belt and will use it to keep up my normal jeans and such like in the meantime! What is very impressive is of course the Motolegends service - I ordered my belt just before 3pm, paid no extra for special delivery, and it was delivered by DPD not my favourite 23 hours later - brilliant.
Robert: Class
Occasionally, particularly when a birthday or Christmas turns up, its great to choose an item that looks a bit silly price-wise but seems to stand out as being something special from a quality perspective. This is one such item - its beautifully made the quality oozes from the stitching and the buckle arrangement and I like the fact that being a webbed belt without conventional holes, it is infinitely adjustable. It looks great and frankly, can be worn with any gear, not just motorcycle jeans or trousers sorry, pant.
Stuart: Perfect Belt
Ive owned the same leather belt for 15 or more years. The belt was OK apart from having to occasionally pull up my trousers when moving around. I was unsure about the Andersons Belt, as its not cheap. Having used this belt now for a while Im really pleased with it, my jeans stay put, no more tugging at them. Took a little getting used to how tight to set the belt, as there are no preset holes. The quality of the belt is brilliant, and looks very smart with jeans or any trousers. I went with the Mid size, as some of my jeans are 34 and another make is 36, the Mid size belt is a perfect fit. May treat myself to a second one in a different colour in the future.
Paul. C.: When only the best will do!
I love my dark brown Andersons belt so much I ordered another in black. They are so comfortable and have no problem holding up my heavy motorcycle jeans whilst still being flexible. Some may say that it is ridiculous to spend just shy of £100 on a belt but if you are looking for a quality belt that moves with you while comfortably holding up your motorcycle trousers then look no further, its money well spent in my humble opinion.
Jamie: Simply the best.
I have purchased over twenty of these belts in various colors and buckle styles, ever since I bought my first one twenty years ago. I cannot recommend them enough. Though theyre expensive, theyre of the highest quality and will last a long time.
