Macks Belts: Building 100% American Made!

 

In a world driven by import production and poor quality, Macks Belts stands as a beacon of hope for the revival of American craftsmanship. Embracing a rich legacy deeply rooted in the golden era of manufacturing, the Macks Belts team has embarked on a mission to become the new leader of the American belt industry. Our team stands proudly at the intersection of heritage and innovation, under the visions and leadership of Mack Alexander who is driven by a patriotic passion to dominate the industry by providing customers with the highest quality U.S.A. handcrafted belts that are built to last for generations. 

Mack initially turned to leather crafting as a therapeutic outlet following a traumatic brain injury that ended his Navy SEAL career. Retiring out of the military during the height of COVID-19 lock down he was unable to find a job. But It was while shopping at a local Salvation Army that would change his life and kick start his entrepreneurial journey of starting Macks Belts. 

 

He originally started repurposing old $1 belts from the Salvation Army into dog collars. However, his trajectory changed when a former teammate requested a belt for an upcoming deployment. Drawing from his military experience, Mack designed a belt he knew could meet the demands of the the operators life. The quality and durability of his belts gained widespread popularity within the special operations community prompting Mack to specialize solely on belt production.

Reflecting his commitment to quality and patriotism he began the mission to build belts made with only 100% U.S.A. raw materials. But as he started building the team the supply chain wasn't their. Rather than compromise or give up on the 100% American made belt he decided to start building his own buckles, screws and d-rings from American steel. Just like that the toughest belt company on Earth was born! No outsourcing. No foreign materials just 100% American made grit built by the hands of warriors.

At the core of every one of Macks Belt is premium U.S.A. made leather and American steel turned on vintage American-made machines, some of which date back to 1940 like this Brown & Sharpe automatic screw machine below. These resilient machines, with their sturdy steel frames and timeless designs, are more than historic; they embody a time when meticulous craftsmanship was the norm, and these vintage marvels are the machines that guard the legacy of a Mack Belt.
