01 Feb 08 Belt Up?

Perhaps not for the average Joe, at this price…

Cost of the new Kale Miles leather belt $18,000. The item high price tag is due mainly to it’s nearly 8 ounce platinum buckle. It takes 3 weeks to make each buckle in a Boston workshop. The cutting and assembly are done by hand in Maine over the course of 1 week with materials supplied by an English tannery.
