Provenance

"Oarsmen often repurpose boat straps – used to secure rowing shells on transport trailers – for belts. Ours is a more rugged, heavy-duty variation, with a distressed nickel cam buckle and a cross-stitched Latin motto. And unlike leather belts, no animals died in the making of this belt." - Jack
