{"product_id":"iron-tone-narrow-metallic-mock-croc-rope-flat-c-belt","title":"Iron Tone Narrow Metallic Mock Croc Rope Flat C Belt","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew things have shaped the way we dress quite like the equestrian world. The riding jacket, the boot, the stirrup and the horseshoe have been quietly finding their way into fashion for well over a century, because they combine practicality with a natural, unfussy elegance. This belt picks up that thread and gives it a modern polish. It’s warm and comforting, but sleek and crisp enough to feel completely of the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe leather is a mock croc with a metallic sheen in a colour we call iron, a deep, warm brown that glows bronze across the raised scales and settles into rich, smoky shadow in the grooves between them. It’s subtle at first glance, but the longer you look the more it reveals. Sitting against it is our contemporary equestrian buckle, a flat, open C shape in aged gold that traces back to the curve of a stirrup or a horseshoe, its ends flaring gently into softly rounded tips. The open centre lets the croc show right through, framing the scales like a little window, and the mellow, burnished gold draws out every warm bronze note in the leather. Clean lines and a heritage soul: it’s a pairing that feels both familiar and fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIron is a lovely alternative to plain brown. It has all of brown’s warmth but with an added sheen and depth that makes it far more interesting to wear. It loves camel, cream, navy, olive and every shade of autumn. It works well for both men and women. The narrow width sits beautifully with tailoring, so I’d wear it with a navy blazer, cream trousers and brown suede loafers, or with dark denim, a white Oxford shirt and a tweed jacket at the weekend. On her, it’s gorgeous with high-waisted camel trousers and a cream knit, or worn at the waist of a shirt dress with knee-high boots, for that effortless country-meets-city look. Horse entirely optional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNot only is the upper leather full grain quality, the lining is too. And like every belt we make, it’s handcrafted in our small Spanish atelier, where a small team still makes each one by hand, with the kind of patience an old saddler would have approved of!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Iron","offer_id":59092958544246,"sku":"X067 384B","price":185.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/X067384B_1.jpg?v=1792678417","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/iron-tone-narrow-metallic-mock-croc-rope-flat-c-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
