Product Overview
The Asquith & Fox Braid stretch belt (AQ900) represents a sophisticated approach to functional accessories. Designed to balance a rugged aesthetic with a refined finish, this textured belt offers a modern alternative to traditional leather straps. Its braided construction doesn't just look the part; it provides a versatile fit that adapts to the wearer’s movements throughout the working day. Whether paired with corporate chinos or more casual work trousers, it ensures a tailored appearance without sacrificing comfort.
Key Features
- Braided Rubber Construction: The elasticated nature of the braid allows for a flexible fit that accommodates a wide range of waist sizes effortlessly.
- Hole-Free Fastening: Because the buckle pin can be inserted anywhere through the braid, you can achieve a precise, secure fit every time without the need for pre-punched holes.
- Faux Leather Detailing: Tan faux leather pieces support the buckle and cap the end, providing structural reinforcement and a high-end visual contrast.
- Chrome Buckle: The durable chrome hardware offers a clean, professional finish while ensuring the belt stays firmly fastened throughout the day.
- Zig-Zag Contrast Pattern: The two-colour weave creates a contemporary visual interest that complements the Asquith & Fox chino range perfectly.
Design & Performance
Constructed from a blend of rubber and faux leather, this belt is engineered for longevity and resilience. The lightweight fabric ensures it doesn't feel cumbersome, yet the braided structure provides the necessary tension to keep trousers securely in place. The stretch capability is particularly beneficial for professionals in active roles—such as retail or light logistics—where constant movement, bending, and reaching are required. Unlike standard leather belts that can pinch or restrict, the AQ900 moves with you, providing a well-engineered solution for everyday wear.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
For businesses looking to reinforce their brand identity down to the smallest detail, this belt offers customisation options via both print and embroidery. Our Telford-based team, with expertise dating back to 1976, handles all branding in-house to ensure a superior finish.
Embroidery is the preferred choice for a professional, high-quality finish on the faux leather sections, providing a permanent and tactile brand mark such as a company logo. While printing is technically possible for bolder graphic requirements, embroidery often delivers the sophisticated appearance that business owners expect for their team uniform. Adding a subtle logo to the leather tab is an excellent way to maintain a professional appearance across your workforce.
Use Cases
This belt is an ideal choice for the hospitality sector, retail environments, and front-of-house staff who require a smart-casual uniform. It is also a practical accessory for tradespeople who prefer the flexibility of a stretch belt over rigid leather during physical tasks. Its unisex design and neutral styling make it a versatile addition to any corporate staff uniform programme.

Practical Advice
The AQ900 is a one-size-fits-all garment, designed to fit waist sizes between 95cm and 125cm. Thanks to the stretch properties of the rubber braid, it offers a forgiving fit that remains comfortable after long hours. We recommend pairing this belt with chinos or formal trousers that feature standard-width belt loops to ensure the chrome buckle sits flush against the waistband.
Caring for your product
To maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your belt, it should be kept away from harsh chemicals and excessive moisture. We recommend a simple wipe-clean approach using a damp cloth for both the braided rubber and the faux leather sections to remove surface dirt without damaging the materials.
Avoid machine washing or submerging the belt in water, as this can degrade the elastic properties of the rubber braid and cause the faux leather components to peel or crack over time. Similarly, do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the finish of the chrome buckle and the vibrancy of the contrast weave, leading to a premature loss of its professional appearance.
