Belts


A Belt That Lasts
Essentially every item we offer revolves around a solid belt design, and the processes and skills that it takes to craft one from start to finish. Crafting quality belts that stand up to the rigors of a demanding lifestyle is the foundation of what we do, holding your pants up is the easy part!
One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Instead of being stuck with a Larger or Smaller belt, get one that’s sized for you. Using your provided measurements we will handcraft a belt to your size as the center hole. On top of that, we’ll also give you 3″ in both directions to accommodate for Thanksgiving dinner, or beach season!
Measuring Made Easy
We’ve done our best to make measuring for your custom belt as easy as possible. Within each belt listing you will find a video with measuring instructions that walk you through step by step the measuring process. We also require your pant size, to compare the two measurements and ensure the sizing provided is accurate.


Belt

Quick Release Belt

Garrison Belt

Lining Options for a Working Belt
If you’re looking for your belt to work for you, we recommend adding an added layer of leather to increase stiffness and rigidity. The optional Calf Skin or Natural Veg Tan layer will be glued and sewn in place forming a permanent bond. Various stitching configurations, and thread colors available.
Durable Hardwares
Our line of belt hardwares has grown over the years. Ranging from the COBRA Quick Release Belt, to your standard Belt, we ensure that sourcing quality hardware is one of our top priorities. Various buckle connection hardware available, if you wish to change out buckles.

I looked at customizing a belt on other sites and none of them had color thread examples like Axe & Awl which I loved!I was able to truly visualize what I wanted and I loved that they offered that. It gave me comfort for the price of customization which I believe sets them apart from every other leather store.Though with the price of customization I thought I’d start off by buying a plain leather radio strap to start and see how the product was.I got a plain black radio strap and am absolutely in LOVE with it. True to size, great quality, and not heavy. Definitely durable as well. Amazing product and company!!! Packaging was beautiful as well.I will be putting my plain black radio strap to use and definitely be customizing/personalizing a radio strap in the near future from here.If you’re on the fence with company’s about quality, price, and durability I would 20/10 recommend Axe & Awl. read less

Really nice shop. I ordered one of their belts, I got to decide on the color and the buckle. Just received it 2 days ago. Best belt I have ever had. Im 56 so I’ve bought a few belts. I don’t write very many reviews ( less than 10 in my life) but when you meet a family company like this one with amazing quality it does make me want to make sure others know to go ahead buy it. I love the look, fit and feel of it. read less

The best quality I have ever had in any leather product ever. I’ve used the strap every shift since then and it is still keeping up with no cracks to the paint or anything.

My wife feel in love with the purses they had there and so desperately wanted to buy one, but unfortunately we didn’t buy it then. So fast forward a few months later, and I reached out to them to see if they could custom make a handbag for my wife, they responded immediately and said they could do whatever we needed. So we ordered the handbag and they made sure it was here in time for our 28th wedding anniversary and even stamped the inside to say “Warner’s est. 1993”. Keep up the great craftsmanship, but more importantly, keep up the great customer service, this goes further than anything. read less

Fast shipping lead time was exactly on pointNo games here exactly what I ordered, I work construction and I’m very skinny so my 35lb tool bags usually end up sitting on my regular belt. Which then stretches the belt out and no longer is comfortable, this belt is very thick and should last a lot longer than the others! read less

Axe and Awl Leatherworks made a box light rig that my wife ordered me as a gift. Turns out that I couldn't attach it to my harness the way that it is originally manufactured. After contacting them and sending it back for adjustment, they customized the hardware for me and even stamped my badge number on the outside of it, FOR NO ADDITIONAL cost. Talk about quality of service! This will be the only place that I order leather products from for the rest of my career. Highly recommend that you give them a try, you won't be disappointed. read lessHurley Caceres5/08/2020 - GoogleIf you have any doubts of craftsmanship, value, and heck everything that you look for in a radio belt then look no further.
