MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Jelt was established in 2014 as a cause-driven business. Our purpose is to create sustainable products that everyone needs, then use the proceeds to give back to our community, our country and the planet.
OUR VISION
#Jelting is more than wearing a stylish, comfortable, grippy belt. It's about living life to the fullest, caring about the future of the planet, enriching the lives of our youth and giving back to those who protect our freedom.
Functional and socially impactful, Jelt elastic belts are made from recycled plastic bottles and are manufactured in Montana, USA.
FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE BELT YOU WEAR
100% vegan and is designed for maximum durability and strength, while lowering your carbon footprint. Jelt is a certified B Corporation, a certified woman-owned business and a partner of 1% for The Planet. Our belts are made in Montana, uplifting our local workforce.
Jelt donates at least 2% of annual gross profits to organizations
supporting veterans, kids and the environment.
Warriors and Quiet Waters is an organization dedicated to healing America’s combat veterans and their families with the serenity of fly-fishing, in the pristine waters of Montana.
THRIVE is an organization engaged in supporting parents, empowering children, strengthening families and contributing to a thriving community.
As a 1% for the Planet partner, Jelt donates to non-profit organizations supporting wildlife, water and land conservation and heathy ecosystems, including Greater Yellowstone Coalition, Gallatin Valley Land Trust and Oceana.
Made ethically and sustainably, Jelt belts are built in Bozeman, Montana. Our team of sewers carefully make each belt, so it's guaranteed to be the best belt you'll ever wear.
HOW WE'RE MADE
Only 2% of clothing is made in the US and Jelt is part of that 2%. In 2024, Jelt moved the sourcing of our elastic to North Carolina. In doing so, we're able to keep a close eye on quality while supporting American Manufacturing. The sustainable yarn is made from recycled plastic, woven into durable, strong elastic and finished with our signature grippy gel.
We also source everything else we can from the United States. Our tags are sewn in the US. Our packaging is made from recycled cardboard and manufactured locally. Many pieces of our Crossbody Bag come from the US.
We are working hard to produce our Buckles in the United States and have found a domestic manufacturer. We hope to move buckle manufacturing to the US by the end of 2026. Currently, our buckles are sourced from overseas. However, they are Bluesign Approved with certified Global Recycled Standards.
Raw materials are shipped to Montana where they are inspected, sewn and assembled. Our team is provided a comfortable workspace, flexible schedules, and competitive wages.
