LEATHER BELTS

WILEY, MARCUS: © Marcus T. Wiley, 2015.

DURING MY TIME AT J. PRESS, I WAS TRYING TO REPLICATE THE SMART, CASUAL CINCH BELT FROM THE COMPANY’S EARLY 1960S CATALOGS. LO AND BEHOLD, ONE DAY WHILE VISITING MY FRIEND AND HERO, GEORGE GRAHAM, I HAPPENED TO FIND IT IN HIS SHOWROOM. THESE BELTS, MADE BY WILEY BROTHERS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA, ARE THE BEE’S KNEES. I OWN THREE: BLACK, BROWN, AND TAN. I WEAR THEM WITH JEANS, A SUIT, AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
