THE PLATES
Our plates are acid etch in the United States. They are .153” thick or as generally referred to, 4mm thick plates.
We can curve the plates to any depth you wish but usually the curve is around 3/4”-1”. This is usually enough of a curve. If you want a deeper curve please ask.
We can add nugget texturing to parts of your plates which once plates will give your plates a two tone look as you can see from the Vader belt above in the nickel areas.
THE ETCH
Using the latest technology in the etching industry we are able to produce unrivaled artistic flair to the look of the design on your championship.
The etch depth is usually 1.6mm-1.8mm, and on some occasions deeper depending on the acid.
THE PLATING
Plating can make or break a championship belt.
Here at Main Event Belts we do all the plating in house, from copper, nickel and gold. Our quality control is second to none. We inspect every inch of out plates after plating to ensure we have achieved the desired mirror finish.
From unplated zinc plates to mirror finish nickel & gold in this video, you can see the unbeatable quality of our product.
Here is our plates being copper plated. Lots of work goes into this stage of belt-making. Very time consuming.

Colored backing (other than black)
At Main Event Belts, we believe that every detail matters, and that’s why we exclusively use the finest Bavarian leather backing in our creations. With over 100 vibrant colors to choose from, our leather options ensure that your belt isn’t just a statement piece but a true work of art, crafted from the highest quality materials.
Why Bavarian leather? Simply put, it’s superior. Sourced from the lush, idyllic landscapes of Bavaria, our leather comes from cows that live an organic, free-range lifestyle. Unlike South American hides, which often face the harsh conditions of barbed wire fencing, Bavarian cows roam naturally, with minimal scars and maximum health. The absence of such restraints allows for smoother, cleaner hides that contribute to the rich, flawless texture we’re renowned for.
The Bavarian climate is another key factor in the leather's exceptional quality. The cool, temperate environment ensures the cattle live healthier, more comfortable lives, resulting in hides with a beautiful, consistent grain. This organic approach to farming leads to the finest leather, making it the leather of choice for luxury brands like Jaguar, Porsche, and Rolls Royce. So when you receive your belt, the leather backing on it is the same leather used to upholster the interior of these top brand car manufacturers!!
Our dedication to quality is reflected in every belt we craft. The stunning variety of colors and the luxurious feel of the leather create an experience that’s unparalleled. When you choose Main Event Belts, you're not just choosing a belt – you're choosing the epitome of craftsmanship, luxury, and sustainability.
As well as offering over 100 colors of Bavarian leather, we also offer Crocodile & Snakeskin print in various colors.
Our colored Bavarian leather for backing starts at an additional $60

Unlike machine stitching, hand stitching allows for a level of detail and artistry that brings out the true beauty and durability of your belt. The personal touch involved in every stitch ensures that no two belts are the same with each one being a handcrafted masterpiece.
Hand stitching offers more than just a superior look, it delivers unmatched strength. Every stitch we make is carefully reinforced, meaning your belt will stand the test of time, whether it’s worn in the ring or displayed proudly in your collection.
