Jelt

Jelt is a newer brand (founded ~2016) with a focused product line—elastic waistband belts—that sidesteps some traditional apparel complexity. While the core product shows thoughtful design (genuine leather, minimal hardware, simple construction), we could not find substantial evidence of: third-party certifications (GOTS, B Corp, OEKO-TEX); detailed supply chain transparency; a repair or lifetime warranty program; or formal end-of-life take-back initiatives. The leather sourcing and tanning practices are not publicly documented. As a young brand, Jelt has opportunity to deepen sustainability claims and build the customer trust infrastructure (warranty, repair access) that signals confidence in 20+ year longevity.
