Was on a hunt for a belt. Shocked how much shit tier "genuine" leather belts were from the likes of Hallensteins / farmers.
These are full grain leather; hand made in Waihi for a fraction of the cost of mainstream retailers.
Quality is great and super quick dispatch.
Great call out OP - as I too have been amazed at the continual stream of "genuine" shyte on the market from many/most retailers
I've had a couple of belts from them that have been used almost daily since 2017. Both still look phenomenal. Would highly recommend!
Look like good quality belts. Should outlast the cheap ones ten-fold, thereby saving you money - if you live long enough.
Sounds like a threat 😂
Not really. Just don't get caught in some Buridan's Ass Paradoxical loop trying to decide. You'll either die of starvation, or remain belt-less indefinitely. Your choice - perhaps…

They sell more than just belts. Belt page says:
these quality leather belts are hand made by us at Buckles and Tees
So other stuff is sourced from overseas, belts are made by them in NZ (at least from what I can see)
If you're in East Auckland there is a guy at the Howick Village Market every Saturday morning that makes belts while you wait. Not sure the cost but I believe its about the same as this
This is exactly what I needed. My one leather belt is now 13yo and still holding but its showing signs here and there. Thanks.
Thanks, was not really thinking of a new belt, but currents ones are bit tatty . just got a brown and a black. happy to buy kiwi made
edit - cancell that . they use paypal so i could not pay with a cr card without joinning paypal - not interested and cannot be bothered doing a direct credit
hint for successfull ebusiness - make it as easy as possible to let me pay you money
They take bank transfer. If you phoned him he's also able to do an order over the phone and process cc that way.
Dude paypal is so easy to use and its free, why miss out? How did you manage to be in 2025 and never used paypal really?
Yea can vouch for them, bloody good belts.
