About Old Stud

Old Stud Handmade is an artisanal leather accessories brand, producing luxury studded belts and cuffs since 1989. California craftsman Jeff Fuller launched Old Stud with the goal of creating unique products in contrast to the mass-produced marketplace. He utilizing vintage belts he'd been collecting for decades and mastered traditional, leather handcrafting methods. The brand was quickly recognized as special, and soon caught the attention of fashionistas & celebrities around the world.

Today, Old Stud is a family-owned business. We continue to handcraft unique and eye-catching pieces using full-grain leather out of our Norwalk, CT studio. Inspired by vintage heritage, our designs appeal to fans of western style, rock & roll, and classic fashions. 

Our vintage collection was handed down from Jeff’s archives, and is the only one of it's kind. Our new styles are made-to-order: replicates of our photos, but never duplicates. Because everything is made by hand — each stud laid one at a time — every piece is truly one-of-a-kind. We deliver quickly, but are the opposite of fast fashion.

“As seen on the hips of Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Billy Bob Thorton, Old Stud belts ... are all the rage.”

Old Stud Craftsmanship

We've mastered time-honored leatherworking methods, and added a modern perspective. Every Old Stud piece is crafted entirely by hand and made in the U.S.A., using traditional tools and techniques. Each belt or cuff begins with a carefully selected hide - balancing the highest quality leather with the lowest possible environmental impact. Our signature studs and stones are applied by hand, one at a time, for a heritage look - reimagined for today. Our vintage belts are all crafted from vintage leather straps, and studded or rehabilitated to extend their life for decades to come!
