Correntino Polo Belt | Hand-Stitched in Argentina | Stick & Ball

$165.00

Style:

Rawhide w/ Black Stitch Black w/ Ivory Stitch

Variant

The Correntino Polo Belt takes its pattern from the Corrientes region of Argentina — the same northeastern province that gave polo some of its deepest gaucho roots. The hand-stitched Correntino pattern is worked in waxed nylon thread across the leather body in ivory on black, or across Argentine rawhide in black. Rawhide isn't vegetable-tanned — it's salt-cured and air-dried into a stiff material with its own character quite different from regular tanned leather, rooted in the gaucho practice of soguería. The Correntino reads as a polo belt on the field and a fashion piece off it. Eligible for hot-stamp monogramming at the Mill Valley, California studio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Correntino pattern?

The Correntino pattern originates from the Corrientes province of northeastern Argentina — a region with deep gaucho and polo traditions. It's hand-stitched in waxed nylon thread directly onto the belt body. The Black/Ivory colorway uses ivory stitching on black leather; the Rawhide/Black uses black stitching on Argentine rawhide.

What is Argentine rawhide?

Rawhide is a distinct material from vegetable-tanned leather. The hide is cured with salt to prevent decay, then scraped clean and stretched to dry into a stiff, semi-translucent material. Traditional Argentine gauchos have long practiced soguería — the craft of cutting and braiding rawhide into lassos, bridles, and belts. The rawhide is used whole, giving each belt a unique texture and a natural patina that develops over time.

Where is the Correntino Polo Belt made?

Made in Argentina, in the gaucho belt tradition that dates to the late 19th century.

What sizes are available?

XS through XL. XS is approximately 31.5", S is 30.5–33.5", M is 32.75–35.5", L is 34.5–37.5", XL is 36.5–39.4".

Can I monogram this belt?

Yes — hot-stamp monogramming is available, $20 additional.

How do I care for the Correntino Belt?

Avoid moisture and prolonged sun exposure. Apply leather conditioner sparingly — patch test first, as it may deepen color. This applies to both the leather and rawhide colorways.
