Types of Exotic Leather Belts
Exotic leather belts can be of different types depending upon the animal skin used in the manufacturing of these belts. When it comes to manufacturing belts, several animal skins are used by fashion designers to design elegant yet classy belts for men and women. Jack Lu offers a wide variety of exotic leather belts which includes alligator belts, crocodile belts, snakeskin belts, ostrich belts, stingray belts, shark belts, etc.
Let’s explore the peculiar qualities of all these belts to get you acquainted with their unique characteristics and appeal with belts made from various exotic skins.
Alligator Belts
Alligator skin is famous as the most durable and thick skin among all exotic skins available. This characteristic of being thick and long-lasting makes it a desirable material to craft belts. The unique pebbled texture, irregular scale pattern, and natural sheen make exotic alligator belts a popular choice among customers.
Alligator skin is also preferred by our designers at Jack Lu to craft belts because it comes in large sizes. Availability in larger-sized hides means that designers can craft and design a good number of belts from one hide which makes it pocket friendly for the customers. In some cases, the belts are designed by joining in the strips of skin in a way that the scales offer a unique pattern and elegant appeal.
Crocodile Belts
Crocodile skin is widely used in manufacturing belts across the globe by major accessories designers including Jack Lu. We use top-grain crocodile leather to design our range of exotic leather belts. Crocodile skin has a regular or symmetrical pattern of scales. The rectangular-shaped scales on crocodile skin offer a monochromatic appeal to the belts which are loved by people who loved symmetrical patterns.
The crocodile skin is light in color and much smoother in appeal and touch. Naturally, crocodile skin has sensory hair on each scale. Although these hair are removed during the tanning process the pores of these hair are still visible in the final product (belts in this case) which makes it distinctive and one-of-its-kind. Crocodile belts are long-lasting and beautiful. Their natural sheen and elegance are loved by the customers and surely qualify as a style statement accessory.
Ostrich Belts
Ostrich skin belts are durable and require very less maintenance. Their unique pattern, elegant texture, supple nature, and dense quality make them ideal for manufacturing belts as they can withstand daily wear and tear. The distinctive quills or bumps in ostrich skin give its’ belts a unique and distinctive appeal. This unique pattern will surely make you stand out in the crowd by wearing exotic ostrich skin belts.
The best feature of ostrich skin is that it is available in larger-sized hide which can go up to 18 sq. ft. This implies that you can design various belts from a single hide and reach economies of scale. Of course, price is a huge factor that can affect the buying decision, and what attracts you more than owning a fine exotic leather belt that is cost-effective and trendy? Our designers at Jack Lu use the full quill portion in crafting the exposed area of belts while using the no-quill portion to design tabs or buckle support in belts. This way they utilize the entire ostrich skin with minimal waste which makes these belts even more cost-friendly than other exotic skin belts.
Snakeskin Belts
Snakeskin is also a preferred exotic leather used in crafting belts. Although snakeskin is quite desirable material usually its’ scales are quite sensitive and require good care. The soft texture, natural unique pattern, and luxurious look make snakeskin belts a must-have accessory.
The most common snakeskin used to craft belts is Python. Its scales offer an irregular sight and appeal when touched which makes it unique in comparison to other belts. As you might be aware that pythons are quite long in size which means that their skin can be easily used to make long-sized belts in various numbers from a single hide. This makes the belts pocket-friendly yet stylish. The unique texture of python skin offers a visual treat to the people and once you wear a python skin belt it is quite common to get compliments.
Stingray Belts
Stingray belts are known for their unique textured surface. Stingray’s body is covered with unique pearl-like fibers that give a unique texture to its belts. These fibers also move in different direction which makes exotic stingray leather belts quite strong and durable as it doesn’t wear and tear easily. The pearl-like fibers are made up of a strong “tooth-like” material which is why this leather is extremely durable which makes the exotic leather belts long-lasting. On top of having unique textured skin and an extremely durable nature, the stingray leather belts are also water-resistant so you can wear these quite comfortably for daily use. Its distinctive and fashionable look will surely get you in the spotlight wherever you go.
Shark belts
Sharkskin exotic leather belts are quite popular and trendy. Sharkskin is inherently covered in tough denticles that are very strong and made up of tooth-like material. But when processed these denticles are smoothened but their inherent strength makes the shark skin leather resistant to abrasion. Jack Lu makes sure that the shark skin used in our exotic leather belts is of high quality and finely processed. Our exotic sharkskin leather belts are softer in touch and feel velvety smooth.
The sharkskin leather belt is an elegant combination of depth of grain, fine texture, and durability. This belt looks equally classy and stylish so you can easily pair it with a formal suit or rugged jeans as per your choice.

Caring for Your Exotic Leather Belts
Although exotic leather belts made from rare materials are known to last longer and maintain their luxury, they can quickly lose their charm if not cared for. Since these are unique belts, you must care properly for the best value.
Here we will share our top 8 tips and tricks to maintain and care for your exotic leather belt efficiently.
1. Clean your belt regularly
The most important thing about caring for your exotic belt is keeping it clean. When you regularly clean your belt, you don’t let oils, dust, dirt, and grime accumulate on the belt which always keeps the belt sparkling new.
So, to clean the belt you can take a soft cloth and slightly dampen it. Ensure that it is not soaking wet. Gently wiping the belt with this cloth will clean it.
2. Protect from the environment: excessive moisture, heat, sunlight, etc.
A huge part of caring for your exotic belt is protecting it from extreme environmental harshness. Even when the leather is water resistant, you must protect it from excessive moisture, like wearing it in the rain or storing it in humid places. Similarly, protect the best from long exposure to sunlight and heat. These can make the belt stiff and result in discoloration.
3. Occasionally condition it to maintain the shine; only use suitable chemicals
Some leather cleaners and conditions can maintain the shine of your belt. You must not use them very often but occasionally will help improve your exotic belt’s quality. While selecting a material, ensure that it is compatible with your specific leather. Also, refrain from using harsh cleaning or conditioning chemicals not made for that leather type.
4. Manage the right storage type for your exotic leather belts
Exotic leather belts must be treated like expensive accessories in every aspect. If you have multiple exotic belts then you will keep most of them stored while you are wearing one of them. So, make sure that your exotic belts are stored in the right way.
Properly hang the belts or keep them folded in the dust bag to protect them from scratching on the edges. Additionally, the storage must be cool, dry, and safe from sunlight.
5. Use carefully and never misuse
Use your exotic belts carefully and never misuse them. You must look for a comfortable wearing experience with these belts. Prevent over-tightening since that can leave stretch marks on the belt. You must not unnecessarily bend or twist the belt since that stresses the stitching and base leather extra.
6. Regularly inspect your belt
Regularly inspecting your belt can protect it from worsening problems. When you regularly inspect the belt, you can detect and treat problems early on. Whether that is a cleaning problem or something that needs repairing, detecting and treating it early will protect the exotic leather belt’s life.
7. Get professional care and maintenance services for your exotic leather belts
The exotic leather belts need premium maintenance, and that’s not something that you can always do by yourself. So, you can schedule occasional maintenance services for your exotic leather belts to keep them in their best condition. Professionals have the right tools and know the best techniques to maintain your belt better than you.
8. Keep rotating between different belts
Getting only one exotic leather belt is never a good idea. That way, you will keep all the stress from regular usage on one belt. Try to get multiple belts and wear them alternatively on different occasions. By rotating usage, you can let every belt rest and divide the routine wear and tear among all belts. Hence, you will prolong their lifespan.
Making a Statement with an Exotic Leather Belt
If you want to make a style statement, you must select every clothing item carefully. A belt is a small clothing accessory that can greatly impact your statement, and that’s why you must go for exotic leather belts.
