The garrison belt itself has its roots in the mid-20th century, when it was standard issue for the U.S. military, particularly around WWII. Defined by its wide strap, plain utilitarian styling, and heavy-duty single-prong rectangular buckle, the garrison belt was built for durability and function above all. Traditionally made from saddle or harness leather, its strength and simplicity became a hallmark of the style.
Over time, the garrison belt was adopted into civilian wardrobes for its rugged, timeless appeal. Today, it stands as both a practical accessory and a heritage piece—one that bridges military utility with classic workwear tradition.
