This belt transcends the realm of conventionality by tapping directly into the epicenter of counter-culture at its peak, with Dennis Hopper at the helm, portraying his unapologetic self in his 1971 documentary about his life in the wake of his box office success, 'Easy Rider'.
One iconic element that adorned Hopper throughout the film was a distinctive large brass buckle belt with a brown leather strap. This very belt was a crucial part of his ensemble, contributing to his unique and iconic style showcased in the film. It has become a symbol of that era, encapsulating a particular moment in his life and the counterculture of the early 1970s.
Inspired by Hopper's legendary belt, we proudly introduce 'The Hopper Belt' as a part of our American Dreamer collection. The buckle is meticulously cast from a substantial 110 grams of solid brass, crafted in precise accordance with Hopper's original buckle. The strap is skillfully created using 100% Italian full-grain bovine leather. We preserve the natural grain and patina of full-grain leather, ensuring each piece embodies a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance. Over time, the leather darkens and its texture softens, creating a timeless, vintage look.
Every Hopper Belt is artisanally handcrafted in Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, where skill meets heritage, resulting in a piece that not only pays homage to a cultural icon but also epitomizes unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless style. Special features:
- Handcrafted in Italy
- Large impressive buckle measuring 106mm x 71mm (4.2” x 2.8”), made of solid brass with a weight of 110 grams
- Strap hight: 37mm (1.46”)
- 100% Italian bovine leather – vegetable tanned
- Done in precise accordance to the belt worn by Dennis Hopper in The American Dreamer (1971)
