– The Siege Belt is an essential component in any well-rounded everyday carry selection, and fills a gaping hole in being well prepared at all times that nothing else can match.
– The best-kept secret in everyday-carry and travel wear.

– The Functional Precious Metal: Siege Belts are increasingly collectible, with early belts worth much more today than their original purchase price.
– Since the buckles last indefinitely and the webbing can be inexpensively replaced if necessary (so far none of our customers have needed to), like precious metals, the belts hold and even increase their value over time. However, unlike gold and silver bullion, they don’t spend their lives hidden away — they are exceptionally functional and will be used for decades, possibly even on a daily basis, as so many of our customers report. The experienced and wise will also know that they may in reality be worth much more than their weight in gold and silver, since they secure that which is truly precious — the wearer of the belt.

– SIEGE Belts are a fantastic value considering the time it takes to craft each one (up to 4 hours).
– In these uncertain times, one should not delay being well prepared. This is a rare opportunity to get your own artisan-crafted Siege Belt for less than the price of many mass-produced premium leather belts (most with cheaply-made, tinny, chrome-plated buckles) before word gets out that after a nearly two decade pause and the recent passing of their inventor, these sought-after, highly-collectible, and most functional and long-lasting of belts are once again available — in limited numbers, while we have the custom nylon, buckle blanks, and time to make them.

SIEGE BELTS are the brainchild of the late outdoor industry pioneer, master craftsman, Navy veteran, and a serial inventor, Ken Young. Among his notable inventions are the trailblazing Alp Sandals, the world’s first sport sandal (acquired by Teva and prized by river-rafters and many others for its superior stability), the Avery-Dennison FlipBack 360 Binder, and the SIEGE Stove universal Cross-Members.

After a long hiatus, these highly coveted belts are finally back, promising unmatched functionality and durability. SIEGE Belts are not your run-of-the-mill belts; they’re crafted to be your trusty sidekick for life. However, it is important to note that these belts will only be available while supplies last, as they are made with the master’s buckle blanks and custom webbing. The belts are a labor of love, with each one requiring over 35 procedures and taking up to 4 hours to complete, depending on the buckle finish, so we can only make them in very small numbers.

Siege Belts are a great value for a custom-crafted belt, especially so considering that it will last a lifetime and soon pay for itself in avoided replacement costs. We’ve had buyers tell us that they go through two or three leather belts a year, but even if one wears a leather belt for a lot longer than this, with the price of leather belts these days replacement costs can add up. A decent leather belt can cost around $70 and a premium leather dress or gun belt can range between $130 and $200, and these are mass-produced, not artisan-crafted, and often have unattractive, cheaply-made, thin, chrome plated buckles, with both the leather and buckle soon showing significant wear.

Siege Belts have been sought-after since they were unavailable for so long, and are increasingly collectible, given the very low production volume that the craft necessitates and especially considering that the belt will last lifetimes. The belts Ken sold before ceasing production are already worth much more than what was paid for them!

Considering the craftsmanship and the time it takes to make one belt, they are a phenomenal value, and as word gets out that they are back, it may be necessary to raise prices to keep up with demand.

A SIEGE Belt will pay for itself many times over in avoided replacement costs, and once our customers start to wear one, they immediately feel the comfort and confidence it brings and never want to go back to a conventional belt. Don’t miss out on the chance to own one of these rare, collectible, heirloom-quality belts. Act now and secure your Siege Belt today, and join the select group of the prepared who enjoy the comfort, craftsmanship, longevity, performance and security that only a Siege Belt can provide.

Ever since our dear friend and mentor, the late outdoor gear pioneer and inventor Ken Young, stopped making the belts many years ago to work on some of his other inventions (the belts required more time to craft than his schedule permitted), they have been a much sought-after item. Having worn one of his belts daily for over ten years we recognized how uniquely practical and incredibly durable the they are. We eventually persuaded Ken to teach us the belt making craft, and devoted ourselves to bringing them back (as long as we have stock of Ken’s custom high-density ballistic nylon, buckle blanks, and the time to work on them).

Siege Belts are a labor of love. Hours of work go into each individually-crafted belt, with over 35 procedures just to make one buckle. Considering the craftsmanship and the time it takes to make one belt, they are a phenomenal value, and as word gets out, it may be necessary to raise prices to keep up with demand. Given the buckles’ incredible imperishability, and collectible nature, in the future our customers’ belts could be worth much more than what was paid for them. This is already the case for belts the master sold before he ceased production.

Imagine a belt that is so durable, so comfortable, and gives its wearers so much peace-of-mind, that one can encounter people who have been wearing them daily for decades. At shows we attend, visitors to our booth sometimes express disbelief that a belt we’ve worn almost every day for 10 years with zero signs of fraying is that old, but that’s nothing — at a recent event someone who bought a Siege Belt (formerly Alp Belt) in 2003 introduced himself. He was wearing that same belt! Consider the odds . . . He said that he wears it every day and travels everywhere with it (the day before he had returned from a trip to Hawaii). He had even written the year “2003” on the back of the buckle, so that he could keep track of the belt’s incredible longevity. This is the kind of devotion that is common among Siege Belt owners.

The 20-year old ballistic nylon still looked good and he had no desire to replace it! He had been looking for more of the belts in the intervening years, and had even called Ken, but production had ceased and Ken only had a small supply to give to friends and family. Delighted to see that we are bringing these special belts back, and knowing what a rare find and fantastic value they are, he and his friend ordered more to add to their collections of “must-be-with-me” belts.

At events we attend, we frequently encounter Siege belt owners and invariably they are wearing their belts, with the uniform refrain “I wear it everywhere / every day”. The belt is designed to become one with the wearer, with our flexible custom webbing and the buckle curved to conform to the body, chamfered on all edges and with bolts, prongs and nuts individually rounded and bullet-nosed for maximum comfort. New customers are surprised that a buckle this solid can be so comfortable that one forgets that it’s on.

The belts are a rare item and considering the work that goes into making each one, and what people typically pay for quality EDC items such as pocket knives — even mass-produced ones —, they are a fantastic value (they are also far more commanding than other EDC items, most of which are restricted in many places and when traveling). The buckle work takes time and requires careful attention to detail, so we can only produce them in very small numbers.
