Truck Belt with Tool Loops
Cut from a single side of 9–10 oz Hermann Oak veg-tanned leather, 2" wide, worn over the coat. Every Truck Belt includes a built-in axe holder. Add a tool ring if you need a second attachment point.
Copper rivets and burrs, with your choice of hardware finish: stainless and black stainless included, solid brass at an upcharge.
The axe holder is standard on every Truck Belt.

Care & what not to do
Shipping & returns
Made to order in 5–6 weeks, then UPS with tracking. Custom-stamped pieces can’t be returned, but sizing or workmanship problems get fixed or remade at no charge. Email me first.
Every detail, up close
The parts you cannot see in a catalog photo are the parts that fail first on cheap gear. Here is what you are actually buying.
Built for the job
Built to sit over your bunker coat, not your pants. The truck belt has its own fit for a reason.
Standard on every Truck Belt, no upcharge. It is what the belt is built around.
+$25 for a second attachment point, if the axe holder is not enough by itself, or +$35 with a brass ring. The same ring is sold on its own for a belt you already have.
Heavy enough to carry real tool weight over a shift, tempered so it breaks in without going limp.
Stitching, hardware, resizing. Send back anything I made and I'll put it right. You pay shipping.

Not NFPA-certified PPE. This is traditional veg-tanned leather gear. Check your department policy before you carry it on the fireground.
How your belt gets made
Nothing is cut before you order. Five weeks of bench time, in this order.
01Measurements read against your coat and pants, worn together. If something looks off, I call before a knife touches the hide.
02Laid out on a single Hermann Oak side, around scars and stretchy belly, so your belt is one continuous piece.
03Name, department, or badge struck in 1 inch letters. Axe holder and hardware riveted at the stress points.
04Stitched, then hardware riveted at the buckle and tail. Nothing gets rushed to hit a ship date.
05Edges slicked and waxed, leather oiled once, then UPS with a care card.
Testimonials

Sizing & FAQ
What does the axe holder attach to?
It's built into the belt itself, not a separate strap-on piece. It's there the moment the belt ships.
Will the 3 inch tool ring fit my belt?
It fits any belt up to 2" wide and hangs about 4-5" below it. It is the same ring the Truck Belt offers as an option, sold on its own for a belt you already have.
How long until my order ships?
5–6 weeks from when you order. Everything is made after the order comes in. Rush placement is +$60 and ships in 10 business days.
Can you match my department's specs?
Usually. Send the spec sheet or a photo of an approved piece through the custom order form and I'll tell you straight whether I can match it.
