Belt -Stitched
Belt -Stitched
1 1/4" wide and designed to last a lifetime; from 5mm thick, full grain oak-tanned leather, produced in Devon.
All belts are hand cut from the hide, coupled with a Solid Brass whole buckle that is saddle-stitched in place. The leather is burnished to form smooth edges and finally treated with my homemade balm to add a durable layer.
I offer a lifetime guarantee on my belts and can repair the stitching if the need ever arises.
SIZING: - **Please note this is different to your trouser size**
To calculate carefully stretch out an existing belt on a flat surface, and measure from:
A) Where the buckle meets the leather to:
B) the hole on the belt that fits you best
Your belt will come with seven adjustment holes with your chosen size being the middle one.
15ml pot of leather balm included.

Process:
The entire piece is built by hand from my workshop. The leather is measured and cut in order to incorporate the natural markings of the hide. The raw edges are bevelled and burnished using beeswax balm to form smooth strong edges that will wear naturally over time.
What is Vegetable-Tanned Leather?
The ancient craft of naturally tanning leather is complex and fascinating. Only natural materials such as tree bark are used to tan the leather, a process which can take several months. Veg-tan leather is beautiful, often displaying the history of life through scars and imperfections. The material will develop a wonderful patina unique to each owner and after years become a treasured object.
