Do leather belts soften?

Yes, leather belts soften! How much they soften depends on the unique recipe the tannery used to make the leather, the cut of leather hide, how often it is worn, and how it is cared for. Check out our article on the best leather for making belts to learn more.

How do I soften my leather belt?

A full grain leather belt will soften with regular use over. Initially, a good quality belt is stiff. As you wear it, the warmth from your body softens the leather, and the belt will start to mold to your unique body shape. The more you wear a leather belt, the more comfortable it feels around your waist. Make sure you take time to regularly maintain your belt to ensure normal wear doesn't turn into permanent damage.
