Custom Industrial Hook Buckle Fusing "D" and "B"

First to catch the eye is the shape of the buckle, which is the face of the belt.
The DB Hook Buckle Belt adopts a custom hook-style buckle that three-dimensionally combines "D" and "B", the brand's initials.

It features a so-called stud fastening mechanism, allowing for smooth attachment and detachment despite its heavy appearance.
Unlike common pin-fastened belts, the hardware itself exudes the presence of an industrial object.

To highlight the assertive metal buckle, the leather strap intentionally eliminates stitching and decoration entirely, resulting in a solid specification.

Sculptural Beauty Unique to 26SS Inspired by Primary Industry Hardware

Industrial design is deeply related to the season theme of doublet 26SS.
This season, under the theme "Itadakimasu", the focus is on the worldviews of primary industries such as agriculture and fishing.

The heavy buckle is actually designed with inspiration from workwear hardware that supports people's labor, such as fishing gear and agricultural tools. The rugged sculptural beauty of "tools" that support the foundation of people's lives is incorporated into a high-end fashion item.

Knowing this background, you will surely feel a solid persuasiveness that goes beyond a mere logo buckle.

Unique Material Usage "Reviving" Upcycled Leather Destined for Disposal

And the leather material used for the strap portion can be said to be the other protagonist of the belt.
Here, too, the brand's strong attitude towards manufacturing is apparent.

Normally, when making luxury leather items, only beautiful parts without scratches are cut out and used.
However, the DB Belt intentionally uses cow leather that would originally be discarded and unused due to many scratches and damages.

Universality for Long-lasting Use Without Being Affected by Trends

Instead of using scratched leather as is, a larger amount of wax and oil than usual is carefully permeated into it, moisturizing the leather fibers and "reviving" it.
In addition, the leather, which has undergone a special process, emits a deep, dull luster and has a unique presence as if it has been used from the beginning.

Coupled with the solid strap design without unnecessary decoration, it has a universal appeal that is not swayed by trends, making it a reliable piece that will continue to be active in your wardrobe for a long time without ending as a temporary fad.

Leather Care and Maintenance Methods to Deepen Attachment

Leather containing a large amount of oil and wax will gradually soften and conform with repeated wear, allowing you to fully appreciate the aging process as it changes to match your body shape.

Regarding maintenance methods to preserve the texture for a long time, we recommend applying a thin layer of colorless delicate cream or leather oil once every few months.
Since it inherently contains a lot of oil, excessive care is unnecessary, but by lightly moisturizing it when you notice surface dryness, the dull luster will be revived, and it will grow into your own unique item that you will become even more attached to.

From Tailored to Denim. Versatility Perfected for Daily Use

The DB Belt was born from the necessity of wanting to "create a belt that perfectly matches" items such as tailored jackets and slacks that the brand develops every season.

Combining heavy metal parts with deep black leather creates a strong contrast, dramatically tightening the overall styling.
Because it blends perfectly not only with mode slacks but also with casual denim pants, it is highly dependable for everyday daily use.

Styling 1 : Street x Mode Style Using Black Silver

This is a style combining deep black leather with a "Black Silver" buckle that emits a sharp shine.
The silver hardware adds a cold, inorganic accent to the well-defined silhouette created by a compact-length hoodie and wide pants.

Silver is not too assertive and plays a great tightening role when organizing the entire look stoically with monotone, cool colors, or denim.

It is the perfect color for everyday town use or days when you want to enjoy a slightly edgy mode outfit.
In my personal opinion, the cold texture of silver stands out with its unique chilling atmosphere, especially when matched with faded denim, so it's a combination I highly recommend you try.

Styling 2 : Luxurious Mix Style Using Black Gold

Next is a style using the "Black Gold" buckle, which gives a sense of warmth and luxury.
By intentionally bringing a heavy gold shine to the waist against a vintage-like top with mud processing, a mixed style where earthiness and luxury coexist is completed.

Gold creates glamour and depth in the styling.
It goes well with warm-colored items, brown leather shoes, or as an accent to a set-up suit.

This is the coloring we want you to choose on days when you want to dress up a little or when you want to add a vintage-like heavy feel to your outfit.
To be honest, personally, the earthy pairing of a mud-processed top and a gold buckle is my top recommendation, and I feel that the imbalance of ruggedness and elegance is exactly the interesting aspect unique to doublet.
