Holiday Recommendations: Hoof Pick Belt




[Pictured: Leather Man Ltd. hoof pick belt courtesy of Hickoree's Hard Goods.]

A good gift is often something nice that someone would not buy for themselves.  A new belt fits into this description perfectly as many guys tend to overlook the importance of having nice "accessories".  When shopping around or building your own wishlist consider upgrading to a hoof pick belt, which happens to be a fantastic option for all your casual pants.  Just because you are not at work does not mean your belt has to be a faux leather, cracking piece of crap.  This belt is often full-grain leather, complete with brass hardware and has a great sense of understated showmanship (if there ever were such a thing).  Unlike a belt that you probably own, this belt has a unique pick closure system that adds an element of ruggedness to this standard accessory and any outfit.  Check out selections from both Orvis and J.L. Powell for two solid, made in the U.S.A. hoof pick belts.

Stumbled Across: The Sporting Life

Straight out of Three Oaks Michigan comes J. L. Powell, an American sporting goods manufacturer.  I forget how I came to find these guys, but, needless to say, their stuff is spectacular.  Everything by these guys looks absolutely amazing, so I went ahead and picked out a few all-stars although I cannot afford a single thing I am about to highlight.  Sartorially Inclined normally passes on the "photo essay", but these clothes speak for themselves. Welcome to the sporting life...
