MF® x VEB Leather Belt "Lindauer"

Proudly introducing our first MF® leather belt, exclusively built by our friend John V.,  one of Joe’s dads, from VEB Leather.

Handmade by VEB Leather from thick full-grain vegetable-tanned cowhide, each belt is hand-dyed and finished with a nickel buckle, hand-set copper rivets, and a decorative vintage French 10 centimes “Lindauer” coin, minted between 1914 and 1946. A classic in numismatic circles, these coins circulated in France through both World Wars. Each piece also features hand-stamped VEB, MF®, and American flag maker’s marks.

The coin detail is a stylistic nod to the tradition of WWI-era “trench art”, when soldiers often repurposed coins and scrap metal to customize personal items such as belts, rings, and keepsakes.

Available in three leather options:
• Natural vegetable-tanned leather
• Seal Brown tea-core vegetable-tanned leather
• Black tea-core vegetable-tanned leather

Classic slim 1¼” belt width.

Available sizes:
30 – 32 – 34 – 36 – 38 – 40 - 42

How to Measure Your Belt Size

The best way to determine your size is to measure a belt you already wear.

Lay your best-fitting belt flat and measure from the center bar of the buckle to the hole you currently use. This measurement corresponds to your VEB Leather belt size.

Example:
A 34-inch measurement = size 34 belt.

These belts are true to size, and the stamped size corresponds to the center hole when closed. Each belt features five adjustment holes for flexibility.

Quick rule: belt size is typically 2 inches larger than your pant waist size.
Example: a 32 waist usually wears a size 34 belt.

Sizing up slightly will accommodate the bulk of heavier pants or denim.
