Though leather belts will always be in our regular rotation, we really enjoy breaking out the ribbon and knotted belts in the Spring and Summer.  Sure, the look may be a bit more casual, but here in Annapolis it is an easy transition and one that many seem to make.  One of the most versatile Summer belts out there is a simple white sailors knot belt, and if you need a new one, look no further than the Brigg’s Capeside Docks Belt ($88) by Kiel James Patrick.

Hand crafted in KJP’s home state of Rhode Island, the Brigg’s Capside Docks Belt is simple, and easily adapted to many different looks.  Made from high quality nautical cord, vegetable tanned leather, and a solid brass buckle (all of which are made in the USA), this belt is made to stand up to some serious wear, and will remain one of your favorites for years to come.  Of course, Kiel had to add a bit of his own spin to such a simple look, so he added a “KJP Heritage Tartan Plaid” lining, and stamped the KJP Croffix Anchor Insignia on the end of the leather tab.  Though small, it’s the attention to details like this that we really appreciate, and hope you will too.
