{"product_id":"jolson-layered-navy-cordovan-effect-satin-prong-belt","title":"Jolson Layered Navy Cordovan Effect Satin Prong Belt","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eJazz was never about playing it safe. The best performers of the era — and Al Jolson, the singer this style is named for, was one of the biggest stars of his day — understood that the magic happens off the page, in the note you didn't expect, the pause that shouldn't work but does. I think about belt design the same way. You could make a strap that's entirely smooth, or entirely textured, and either would be perfectly fine. But fine was never really the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSo this style does the unscripted thing instead: cordovan leather, smooth and sleek on either side, with a central dadino textured wave running straight through the middle like an improvised line breaking through a steady rhythm. In this navy tone, a contrast blue stitch traces the wave and picks out the texture even more clearly, giving the whole belt a lovely sense of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWe've paired it with a satin silver buckle this time — smooth rather than textured, with a gentle kink running through its silhouette rather than a straight edge. It's a quieter kind of match than usual, but no less considered: that soft curve echoes the wavy edges of the dadino overlay running through the strap, so the buckle picks up the belt's rhythm through shape rather than surface detail.\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\"\u003eAll in all, a belt to be worn to spice up a classic suit or for smarter casual and eveningwear, also a lovely companion to linen in summer — definitely one that will stand you out from the crowd.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elliot Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Navy","offer_id":58091736727926,"sku":"T881 451B","price":240.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/3731\/4247\/files\/T881451B_1.jpg?v=1783432249","url":"https:\/\/elliotrhodes.com\/products\/jolson-layered-navy-cordovan-effect-satin-prong-belt","provider":"Elliot Rhodes Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
