Nicks is a Spokane bootmaker that also does belts, and the build is exactly what the boot crowd would tell you to expect: Wickett & Craig double-stuffed slate-tanned leather, edges hand-burnished, solid brass hardware sewn through several layers rather than riveted. The belt is heavy enough that it changes how a pair of trousers hangs and stiff enough that it’ll outlast every pair of jeans you put through it. The kind of belt that gets passed down rather than replaced.
