    No. 117 Mechanics Belt, Black

    Regular price 125 USD
    Our No. 117 is a Billykirk classic and a consistent head-turner, versatile enough for jeans or a suit. Inspired by our mentor's grandfather, who crafted similar belts for the auto industry in the 1950s, its genius lies in the details: the leather flap covering the buckle protects car finishes from scratches. Simple. Effective. Pure Americana. We updated the original with a slightly wider strap, refined tips, and our signature hand-stitched details. Guitarists love the 117 because it keeps guitars scratch-free and silent during studio sessions, and motorcyclists appreciate the same flap protecting their gas tanks on the road. PLEASE SEE OUR BELT SIZING GUIDE BELOW TO ENSURE A PROPER FIT.

    Belt Sizing Guide

    Your Billykirk belt size will be 2½ inches smaller than your waist circumference. We recommend measuring your waist to ensure an accurate fit. Here are two easy ways: 

    Method 1: Using a Fabric Tape Measure

    1. Thread the tape measure through your belt loops where you normally wear your belt

    2. Keep the tape snug but not tight — leave space for one finger between the tape and your body

    3. Record your measurement in inches, and check our table below

    Method 2: Using a Piece of String (Watch a video tutorial)

    1. Wrap a piece of string around your waist through your belt loops

    2. Mark where the string meets and lay it flat against a ruler

    3. Record your measurement in inches, and check our table below

      Honestly this is my favourite belt and I keep going back to it! First one purchased maybe > 10 years ago. Very durable and will stand the tests of time! I've purchased 3 of them only because it is apparently my dog's favourite belt as well... so five stars from both of us for style, functionality, and I guess taste...

      An extraordinary company for what would seem like ordinary products. That would be deceptive. The attention to detail sets Billykirk apart. That was apparent when I couldn't place my order and one of the cofounders, Chris reached out to help me. And then doublechecked I'd ordered correctly.

      The fit is perfect, and the flap over the buckle should prevent the ubiquitous holes in my sweaters from other buckles.
