About YF Belts

YF Belts was born out of a love for well-worn leather, honest craftsmanship, and the kind of gear that’s meant to be used — not just admired.

Isnpired by farm life, rodeo grounds, and hard work, YF Belts makes leather goods that show up and hold on. Every belt (and collar) is cut, finished, and built with intention — designed to break in beautifully, last for years, and carry a story of its own.

We believe the best pieces aren’t precious. They’re dependable. They get scratched, softened, darkened by time, and better with every mile.

YF Belts was founded by Cori Rowley, a designer, researcher, and farmer who believes the best things are made with your hands — and made to last.

Cori’s work lives at the intersection of design, utility, and rural life. By day, she helps companies understand their customers and build better products. At home, she’s tending fields, fixing tools, raising kids, and leathercrafting. YF Belts grew naturally from that rhythm — a need for goods that could keep up, fit right, and feel honest.

Every belt and collar reflects her belief that good design doesn’t have to be flashy. It has to work. It has to last. And it should get better with time.
