Alligator belts are belts made from the skin of an alligator. They have good abrasion resistance and flame resistance, as well as good bending and tensile properties. There are many applications for alligator leather, especially as belts, handbags, and luggage. It is also useful in making home-furnishing products.

There are two types of alligator leathers: classic and safari. Classic-finish leathers are smooth and shiny. In these leathers, high-gloss natural protein finish is burnished onto the surface of the alligator skin with a glazing jack. The protein used in classic leather is extracted from albumen or raw egg white. The surface of classic leather is given a high-gloss shine by compressing and smoothing it. High-quality safari finish is nearly as shiny as classic leather. A combination of oils, waxes, and light, low speed and low-pressure buffing gives softness and gloss on the surface of safari leather. Since safari leathers are not subjected to excessive pressure, they remain soft and supple. As the color on the surface of safari leather is deeper and the surface irregular, scratches cause less damage and are easier to repair. If safari leathers get wet, the softness and luster can be regained by applying a quality leather conditioner followed by hand-buffing after slow drying.

Alligator belts are handcrafted, and their extra length enables the user to add holes. Western alligator belts differ slightly from fashion belts in that the former are more rugged and have a tougher, thicker lining. The alligator leather cover in these belts is oily, so they last longer. Western alligator belts are easier and faster to make. Hence, they are cheaper than fashion belts. Alligator golf belts are specially designed for golfers. These belts are made from the skin of black alligators and have a durable, comfortable lining. Alligator golf belts conform to the shape of the user's body. Manufacturers of high-quality alligator belts give a guarantee of satisfaction or full money back offer.
