Meet The Team

Owner and Founder, Mack 

The man on a mission to bring back Made in America in the mens belt industry! He's a retired Navy SEAL who found a way to continue serving by fighting for Made in America! Mack and his team are dedicated to providing their customers with the highest quality U.S.A.-built belts all while protecting trades, creating jobs and rekindling iconic American made machines!

Mack initially turned to leather crafting as a therapeutic outlet for the traumatic brain injury that ended his Navy SEAL career early. Retiring out of the military just before the height of COVID-19 the world went on lockdown and he was unable to find a job. But everything changed when he saw some old belts for sale at his local thrift store.

He got the idea he could turn those old belts into dog collars. Still unable to find a job, he began driving around to every thrift store he could find, bought their old belts, repurposed them into dog collars, and sold them on social media. 

Then his business changed in a big way when his former teammates started requesting custom belts for upcoming deployments. It lit a fire in him because now he was building tools for his SEAL Team brothers.

Custom Belt Builder - Mack Belts™

Drawing from his military experience, he started building and designing different styles of belts and hardware. He continued to refine the construction until he knew his belt design could meet the demands of the military lifestyle. The end result was more than just a belt, it was the beginning of an American made company dedicated to not taking shortcuts and giving their customer's the best of the best.

 MACKS BELTS WAS BORN!

Despite his past challenges, Mack rebuilt his life one belt at a time and built a successful business with thousands of customers buckling up daily with a 100% American-made belt!  He's no longer a one-man belt shop. He's created jobs, built a team, and knocked the dust and the rust off historic machines! Below you will meet the team of patriots that make the Macks Belts American made mission possible!

Great gear

I’ve carried a gun for work for 25 years. Belts matter. This is what you need.

Geronimo belt

I own many Macks belts and they are the best belts I can find. The Geronimo is no exception. I love the extra stitching and the leather/buckle. This is one high quality product, keep up the great work!!

Quality leather belt

I own several belts but recently found these belts from Mack’s and if you love leather you have to try one of their belts … even the buckle is well thought out and it’s a firm belt if you plan to EDC .. I have a black one and a brown one now and if I’m wearing a leather belts it’s one of these two … great belt at a great price considering the workmanship put into them … highly recommend to my friend's

Love it excellent quality will never purchase a belt from another company

Stark Gratitude

Best belts on the planet. 👊🇺🇸🐊🦭🎚️

Exactly as anticipated

The belt is just what I expected it to be. Heavy duty but goes well with khakis. I haven’t broken a window or destroyed a watermelon yet, but feel confident I can when the need arises.

The Operator Belt

Geronimo!!

Heavy leather!! Great belt!!

Heavy Duty

Very impressive! Was surprised by the thickness of the leather and quality. True craftsmanship would certainly recommend. A perfect carry belt. I got the Warden.

Baretooth belt

This belt is fantastic, stout, rugged, feels great. Pant size is right on.

Great Craftsmanship

Quality product. This belt is sturdy and looks great.

2nd Hatchet Belt this time in black

This is my second Hatchet Belt and the quality continued. The first was the brown Hatchet Belt and it has been my go to belt. The black Hatchet Belt is a mirror image of quality and fit. Now I have the right belt(s) to meet any color coordination requirement….. should I notice the requirement 😬. Either way, i know I have the right belt for the need….an All American Quality Product!

Thanks again to the Team at Macks Belts.

Awesome Belts!!

I have purchased several of the Mack Belts in the last two years. One for me and then one for several friends as gifts. I love mine and they love theirs! In each instance, the fit is perfect and the quality is outstanding!!! Keep up the great work!

Beyond expectations

When I ordered the Squadron belt, I reached out to Mack and asked if he could add a few extra holes as I have been losing weight and wanted the belt to accommodate this. Without hesitation, he rapidly responded to me saying he would do this. As a veteran, I am proud to support veteran owned companies like Mack’s Belts and all that they stands for. And he makes a damn good belt!!! I was so impressed that I ordered different color belt from him.

Best belt ever

I’ve bought some pretty expensive belts, but none of them topped this belt. Macks belts are made to last.

Love the belt

The sturdiest belt I’ve ever owned. Love how it feels and it looks great.

Quality!

When visiting family in Washinton State. My wife's uncle said he gets the best belts for the best price (I called BS). I should him my Patriot Stitched Belt and he was speechless as the quality was notable. I purchased two immediately, one for him and another for his brother. I am confident that this will be the last belt they will ever wear, own or buy. Thank you, Mack, for the quality, passion and attention to detail. Cheers!

Outstanding Quality

What can I say? Excellent belt with unmatched quality and durability. If you’re like me, tired of buying over priced almost always bonded leather belts every couple of years this is your solution.

What a fit and finish!

Heavy duty quality built belt, will last a lifetime.

The Black Hatchet belt

Great product, will definitely invest in more belts! I haven’t used anything else since it arrived.

Best of the best!

This is my second Mack belt. The first one I purchased was the Double Oxblood. I was needing a black belt and didn’t look anywhere else but Mack!! Literally the best belts I’ve ever owned and I’m trying to figure out way to “need” another!! Every component made right here in the USA using old world American tooling! Thank you Mack!!!

Freedom Belt

I really like the quality of the belt . Too me it is a belt for jeans .

Sturdy Belt

This belt is made from thick, sturdy leather. The buckle is solid. I am so tired of $50-60 belts that look awful in 6 months. I’m looking forward to see how this beautiful belt holds up!

Great quality and rigid belt

Love the quality of the belt. Definitely happy to support American Made and Veteran own company.

Tough belt

This is a tough belt. Buckle heavy duty and solid as advertised.
