Holiday Gift Guide: Belts and Hats Under $100

Ad Astra Emblem cherry red studded belt with AA buckle

A good belt is one of the few things people wear almost every day and rarely buy for themselves. That makes it an easy gift to get right. Here is our lineup sorted by budget. Every order ships free within the US, and every Collection II belt comes in a custom box with a dust bag, so it is ready to give.

Under $50

Cadet Hat, $45. A structured cotton canvas cadet cap with an embroidered AA logo, a studded star brim and three removable pins. It is one size with an adjustable strap, so there is no sizing to guess. Comes in black, brown and camo.

Under $100

Union, $90. Black vegan leather with our script AA buckle and silver studs. The safe pick if you are not sure of their style.

Emblem, $90. A studded star panel on cherry red or black leopard print. For the person who dresses loud.

Marshal, $90. Quilted vegan leather in baby blue. Looks best against dark denim.

Noir, $90. A skinny black belt with matte silver hardware. Works with trousers as well as jeans.

Worth the splurge

Vellum, $130. Genuine leather in brown or yellow that softens and shapes to the wearer over time.

Caiman, $130. Croc-embossed leather with a glossy finish in forest green or navy.

Buying for someone else?

Our belts fit waist sizes 30 to 36. Check the waist size on a pair of their jeans, or measure a belt they already wear. The belt size guide walks through both. If you cannot check without giving the surprise away, go with the Cadet Hat. It is one size.

Go for both

A Cadet Hat with any Collection II belt comes to $135. See every belt on the studded belts page.
