{"product_id":"vtac-leather-blackout-brownout-belt-with-stitching","title":"VTAC Leather Blackout Brownout Belt With Stitching","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Viking Tactics (VTAC) Leather Blackout\/Brownout Belt is a full-grain, 12\/13 oz leather dress and range belt handmade by Amish craftspeople in the USA, available in Black or Brown with contrast stitching in sizes 30 through 44 inches. The 1\/8-inch-thick leather and articulated curve give it structure without stiffness, and threaded Chicago screws let the buckle be swapped out when needed. Fourteen size and color combinations are available to suit a wide range of waist measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFull-Grain Leather Built to Last\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VTAC Leather Belt is cut from full-grain 12\/13 oz leather, 1\/8 inch thick. That weight means the belt holds its shape under a holster or a set of keys without rolling or collapsing, while the finished edges keep the leather from fraying over years of daily use. Handmade by Amish craftspeople in the USA, each belt reflects close attention to construction that shows in how it wears over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRefined Details, Practical Function\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey shadow contrast stitching (on Black belts) or wheat stitching (on Brown belts) adds visual definition without being loud. The articulated curve follows the natural contour of the waist rather than lying flat, which matters when the belt is worn all day. Five ovalized holes spaced one inch apart give a precise fit across a range of waist sizes. The hidden cuff key pocket is built into the belt body, accessible without being visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInterchangeable Buckle System\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThreaded Chicago screws secure the buckle to the belt, making it possible to swap buckles as needed. Buckles are set with purple Loctite at the factory; to change one out, applying heat from a hairdryer loosens the adhesive before undoing the screws. This system keeps the buckle firmly in place during normal wear while still allowing intentional changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-grain leather:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12\/13 oz weight, 1\/8 inch thick\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulated curve:\u003c\/strong\u003e follows natural waist contour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContrast stitching:\u003c\/strong\u003e grey shadow stitch (Black) or wheat stitch (Brown)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHidden cuff key pocket:\u003c\/strong\u003e built into the belt body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive ovalized holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e spaced 1 inch apart for precise sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterchangeable buckle:\u003c\/strong\u003e threaded Chicago screws, buckle secured with purple Loctite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFull-grain leather, 12\/13 oz, 1\/8 inch thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eColors\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBlack, Brown\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizes\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e30\", 32\", 34\", 36\", 38\", 40\", 42\", 44\" (even sizes only)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizing method\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMeasured buckle tip to middle hole; order size = favorite belt's buckle-tip-to-used-hole measurement rounded to nearest even inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHoles\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFive ovalized holes, 1 inch spacing\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStitching\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eGrey shadow contrast stitch (Black) \/ wheat stitch (Brown)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBuckle attachment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThreaded Chicago screws with purple Loctite; interchangeable\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eEdge finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinished edges\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHidden feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCuff key pocket\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePackaged dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e9 x 1 x 4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eHandmade by the Amish, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThis belt suits someone who wants a single leather belt that works equally well at the range and in everyday dress settings, particularly buyers who carry a holster or EDC gear and want a belt with enough structure to support that weight without looking tactical. The hidden cuff key pocket adds utility for law enforcement or security professionals who prefer a low-profile carry option. Available in 30 through 44 inch even sizes to cover a broad range of fits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThis belt is not a duty belt or a battle belt and is not designed to mount MOLLE pouches or modular tactical accessories. Sizes run in even increments only; buyers with an odd-inch measurement should round to the nearest even size using the buckle-tip-to-used-hole method. Brown is not available in 36 or 38 inch sizes. This is a leather belt and does not carry a ballistic or protective rating of any kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eHow do I find my correct size?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eVTAC sizes this leather belt from buckle tip to the middle of the five holes. To find your size, measure a belt you already wear from its buckle tip to the hole you actually use, in inches, then round that number to the nearest even inch. Order that size. Do not use your pants waist size, as belt and trouser measurements differ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat is the difference between the Black and Brown versions?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eBoth the Black and Brown VTAC Leather Belts use the same full-grain 12\/13 oz leather construction and feature set. The stitching color differs: Black belts carry a grey shadow contrast stitch, while Brown belts use a wheat stitch. Brown is offered in 30, 32, 34, 40, 42, and 44 inches, while Black is available across all eight sizes from 30 to 44 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eCan I swap the buckle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eYes. The VTAC Leather Belt uses threaded Chicago screws to attach the buckle, so it can be changed out. The buckle is set at the factory with purple Loctite to keep it secure during normal wear. To remove it, apply heat from a hairdryer to the screw area to soften the adhesive, then undo the Chicago screws. Replacement buckles are not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWho makes this belt?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe VTAC Leather Blackout\/Brownout Belt is handmade by Amish craftspeople in the USA. Viking Tactics (VTAC) is a Fayetteville, NC-based maker founded by Kyle Lamb. The Amish manufacture the leather belt itself; VTAC is the brand and designer behind the product specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eIs this belt suitable for carrying a holster or EDC gear?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe VTAC Leather Belt is made from 12\/13 oz full-grain leather at 1\/8 inch thick, which gives it enough rigidity to support a holstered handgun or everyday carry items without rolling or sagging. It is not a dedicated duty belt or MOLLE-compatible platform, but its construction is suited to light-to-moderate holster carry in a dress or casual context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viking Tactics","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ 30\"","offer_id":67118117126515,"sku":"VTAC-717","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 30\"","offer_id":67118117159283,"sku":"VTAC-733","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 32\"","offer_id":67118117192051,"sku":"VTAC-718","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 32\"","offer_id":67118117224819,"sku":"VTAC-734","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 34\"","offer_id":67118117257587,"sku":"VTAC-719","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 34\"","offer_id":67118117290355,"sku":"VTAC-735","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 36\"","offer_id":67118117323123,"sku":"VTAC-720","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 38\"","offer_id":67118117355891,"sku":"VTAC-721","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 40\"","offer_id":67118117388659,"sku":"VTAC-722","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 40\"","offer_id":67118117421427,"sku":"VTAC-738","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 42\"","offer_id":67118117454195,"sku":"VTAC-723","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 42\"","offer_id":67118117486963,"sku":"VTAC-739","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 44\"","offer_id":67118117519731,"sku":"VTAC-724","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Brown \/ 44\"","offer_id":67118117552499,"sku":"VTAC-740","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1926\/7025\/files\/Contrast-Stitch-together-scaled-sq.jpg?v=1792026317","url":"https:\/\/bulletproofzone.com\/products\/vtac-leather-blackout-brownout-belt-with-stitching","provider":"Bulletproof Zone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
