Meet the Belt Brand Holding Up the FBI

In Partnership with Kore Essentials

Use Code ManofMany10 for an extra 10% off

It’s getting hard out there for men’s accessory brands to distinguish themselves from the competition, but KORE Essentials have managed to pull it off. That’s because innovation is built into the company’s very DNA. Their story begins in 2013 with the goal of creating a men’s belt that not only functioned better than the standard counterpart but was also more comfortable and crafted from superior materials. How do you make a belt cool? They asked themselves over and over again. The answer took the form of a revolutionary design, which ditched the traditional (i.e. boring) five holes in favour of a 10″ track that clicks at each of the 40 size positions. Brilliantly ergonomic, it remains the most adjustable belt a man can own. To make a sweet thing that much sweeter, the brand is giving an extra 10% off when you use the code ManofMany10.

KORE Essentials’ classic belts were so popular amongst their friends in law enforcement that they were asked to craft a reinforced gun belt for those very same friends. Nowadays, the brand’s signature gun belts are used by the FBI, Secret Service, Border Patrol, and high-level military officials alike. It only goes to show that once again this label has managed to set themselves apart from the average fare. Continuing to power their operation is the simple but admirable philosophy of blending innovation with superior materials to create distinct and exciting products, exceeding expectations in the process.

But why stop at belts? The brand wondered after watching their flagship product soar in popularity. That brought them into new and similarly innovative terrain, such as sunglasses with arms that lock onto your shirt, and slim wallets with a detachable carbon fibre money clip, to name just a few of their most popular accessories. Loyal customers have also been asking them for years to incorporate their signature track design onto wristwear, so stay tuned. In the meantime, here are some of their best-sellers:
