B12 Reversible Fancy Stitched Belt, 1.5" (38mm)
The Bianchi B12 is a reversible leather belt made of premium full-grain cowhide. One side has a natural oil finish and the other is suede, so the belt can be worn two ways by turning it over. The leather is oil-tanned and hand-rubbed to a lustrous finish; cross-over stitching runs along the entire length of the belt.
The Bianchi B12 combines two wearable leather surfaces in one belt: a smooth oil-finished face and a suede reverse. Turning the belt over changes the visible finish without requiring a second belt.
The 1.5-inch (38 mm) belt is made from full-grain cowhide and finished with continuous decorative stitching. Colour, nominal size, circumference range and buckle finish are stated for each selected configuration.
Bianchi goes back to John Bianchi, a police officer in Southern California who built his first leather holster in his garage in 1958 so that he could wear it on duty. According to the manufacturer, Bianchi stands for handcrafted workmanship and time-proven, long-lasting designs; the brand's innovations include the thumb snap, the Model 27 "Break Front" holster and the Model X15® shoulder holster. Today Bianchi is part of the Safariland Group.

Notes
- The manufacturer describes the B12 as a narrower version of the original fancy stitched belt.
- The buckle is solid brass on Tan and chrome on Black (manufacturer's page).
- The manufacturer recommends ordering leather belts two inches (2") over your normal pants size.
- For the most harmonious overall look, we recommend choosing leather holsters and leather accessories from the same manufacturer in the same colour designation. Leather is a natural material; slight variations are possible even within one colour. Colour names such as brown, tan, cognac or natural are not standardised across manufacturers.
