The Belt Brigade

The Belt Brigade is a genuine retired fire truck that we converted into a mobile leather goods manufacturer on wheels. Available for all types of events, the Belt Brigade is designed to engage and captivate its audience and can make a lasting impression for those in bachelor parties, weddings, birthday parties, and private events.

The Belt Brigade brings a 4-ton leather press and a full range of leather crafting and cutting tools to every event, giving each participant the chance to create their own personalized leather items such as belts, coasters, keychains, bracelets, and more. Guests can customize their pieces with names, initials, event dates, and other unique touches. This fun, hands-on experience creates lasting memories and a keepsake to cherish.

Event Highlight: Belt Brigade gives back to the community

In early 2025, our shop was directly threatened by the devastating wildfires that swept through Los Angeles, burning neighborhoods throughout the Pacific Palisades and Malibu. We were evacuated for two weeks, uncertain of what we'd return to. Incredibly, and against all odds, our shop was spared.

We are deeply grateful to still be standing. To thank the first responders who risked their lives to protect our community, we're committed to giving back by donating a belt to a first responder for every belt sold.

Each belt is made from scratch based on their choice of belt color and buckle style, and finally customized with their initials and choice of stamps.

We custom fit the belt for each fireman and first responder to make sure they get a perfect fit. Our belts are made out of premium top grain leather.

A new addition to the Belt Brigade is a mobile cart that allows us to carry more leathermaking equipments. Big thank-you to Luke Macfarlane for the amazing woodwork!
