Meet our Owner, Founder & CEO Mack Alexander, the man on a mission to bring back Made in America in the mens belt industry!
He's a retired Navy SEAL and die hard American patriot dedicated to providing his 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. Retiring out of the military just before the height of COVID-19 the world went on lockdown down and he was unable to find a job...
Then... While shopping at a local Salvation Army, everything changed when he saw an old belt on a rack for $1...
Mack originally started repurposing old $1 belts from the Salvation Army and other thrift stores into dog collars and sold them on social media. This was how he provided for himself when he couldn't find work..
However, his business changed when a former teammate from the SEAL teams requested a belt for an upcoming deployment.
Drawing from his military experience, Mack designed a belt he knew could meet the demands of the operator's life and the rest is history!
Despite his past challenges, Mack rebuilt his life one belt at a time and built a successful business with thousands of satisfied customers buckled up daily with a 100% American-made Mack Belt!
He's NOT a one-man belt shop anymore!!!!
He's helped create jobs and knocked the dust and the rust off old machines! Below you will meet the team of proud patriots that makes the Macks Belts American made mission possible!
