The Modern Gentlemen

The Caballero's c. 1990

Caballero's namesake comes from the Southern California youth group my grandfather joined in the early 60s.

The Caballeros were formed to keep each other out of trouble which created a strong support group for young men. While they didn't always stay out of trouble the Caballeros maintained lifelong friendships and became role models for future generations.

To this day, the Caballeros still gather each year, coming together and remaining connected by the bond of being Caballeros.

Our Lineage

For more than half a century, belt buckles have been at the heart of our family’s lineage. What began in Southern California in the 1970s with the vision of my grandparents became the reimagining of the modern belt buckle.

From design to craftsmanship, my family became a pillar of what buckles would mean for generations to come.
