There is a delicate balance to be struck between detail that enhances and detail that distracts. So when we came up with our Hancock style, named after groundbreaking jazz artist Herbie Hancock, we were inspired to keep things minimal, with just a hint of contemporary style to show that sense of individuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe started out using our cordovan effect leather, which once hand burnished reveals a rich depth of tone and colour, and then under the surface inserted sleek S-shaped ridges, highlighted with their own stitch detail. These ridges repeat along the strap every 25cm, and once the belt is hand polished, show a little extra tonal contrast to subtly add extra life to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe buckle brings its own quiet detail: gunmetal, with a mix of satin and shiny finishes across the frame, and fine ribbed lines running along the top and bottom edges. It's a subtle play of textures rather than a loud statement, and it keeps the belt feeling considered without ever competing with the leather beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot only is the upper leather full grain quality, the lining is too, so that same integrity runs all the way through the belt rather than stopping at the surface. Every belt is still handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, where a small team takes the time needed to get these details right rather than rushing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe feel this belt could be used for both formal and smart-casual occasions — great for a suit, smart trousers, or denim. Wear this style and people will know you're willing to experiment with the smallest of details to create your own individuality, like the jazz maestro it's named after.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":58091736662390,"sku":"T970 561B","price":195.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/T970561B_1.jpg?v=1783431575","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/hancock-black-cordovan-effect-ribbed-prong-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
