Designed to Unite Alumni and Friends Around the World | Texas Exes

At Zilker Belts, we’ve always believed the best partnerships tell a story, and this one is rooted in tradition, community, and burnt orange pride.

A Belt Built for Longhorn Legacy

Introducing Texas Exes x Zilker Belts, a collection of belts designed to unite alumni and friends of The University of Texas at Austin around the world. Inspired by the unmistakable orange and white that define Longhorn culture, these belts are more than just accessories, they’re a symbol of connection to a community that spans generations.

Each belt is crafted with Zilker Belts’ signature attention to detail and durability, making it a staple piece for game days, alumni events, and everyday wear.

Giving Back to the Longhorn Community

This collaboration goes beyond style. Over the last few years, Zilker Belts donated nearly $60k directly to the Texas Exes, supporting programs that strengthen the university and uplift Longhorns at every stage of life.

From helping students attend Camp Texas, to connecting job seekers with mentors, to empowering entrepreneurs through the Longhorn Business Network, the Texas Exes plays a critical role in building lifelong success for UT alumni. Every purchase directly contributes to these impactful initiatives, because it wouldn’t be Texas without the Exes.

Meet the Texas Exes

Founded in 1885, the Texas Exes is the official alumni association of The University of Texas at Austin. With a global network of more than 110,000 members and over 150 chapters and networks, the organization is dedicated to expanding opportunity, preserving traditions, and strengthening the Longhorn community worldwide.

Their mission is simple but powerful: ensure that Longhorns have access to the resources they need to thrive whether they’re students, recent grads, or seasoned professionals.

A New Season, A New Belt

Our second collaboration with Texas Exes features:

• Premium black suede leather

• Interchangeable buckle for versatile styling

• Burnt orange and white waxed-nylon threading for a subtle, elevated nod to UT

It’s a modern take on a classic look, perfect for a new conference, a new season, and a new era of Longhorn pride.

More Than a Belt

Whether you’re walking into Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, attending an alumni event, or simply repping your roots wherever you are, this belt is a reminder of what it means to be part of something bigger.

A shared history. A powerful network. A lifelong connection.

Because it wouldn’t be Texas without the Exes.
