STREETS AHEAD
Streets Ahead makes belts the way belts used to be made: by hand, in Los Angeles, from Italian novelty leather, with ethically sourced materials and hardware that is genuinely solid brass or properly plated rather than sprayed.
STREETS AHEAD
A belt is the cheapest way to change an outfit you already own, and this is the brand that proves it. The Cognac Solid Brass 1.5-inch and the 24k Gold Plated Buckle Strap are the two workhorses — put either over a blazer or through a trouser and the outfit looks finished.
Then there are the statement pieces: the Leopard belt with a gold buckle, the Taupe Gold Buckle Tiger, and the Yellow Heart Buckle. These are the ones clients get complimented on.
How STREETS AHEAD fits
- Belts are sized by waist or hip depending on how you wear them — bring the pant or skirt if you can.
- A 1.5-inch strap fits most trouser belt loops; wider statement styles are meant to sit over a waistband or a blazer.
- Solid brass hardware develops a patina; that is the material behaving correctly.
- Condition the leather once a season and it will outlast most of your wardrobe.
