Hand made thick veg-tan leather traditional Garrison belt.
Made to order. 1.5 inches wide.
Choose between a solid brass, antique brass or nickel buckle. Set with your choice of solid brass or copper saddler's rivets.
Belts in this range are made using J&FJ Baker & Co oak bark vegetable tanned leather - the last tannery in the UK that still uses this ancient method of tannage. The bridle leather these belts are made from takes months to produce and is some of the best leather in the word.
You can read up on them here.
Available in:
London Tan (the belt pictured here)
Australian Nut (pictured here on one of my bags.)
The strap has a decorative line marked along each edge with a saddler's gouge before the edges are hand bevelled and burnished and sealed with bees wax.
These things will last you a lifetime and develop a wonderful patina with wear. As the leather darkens and moulds itself you your waist you'll have a beautiful belt that is unique to you.
All belts are 100% made by hand, by me, from cutting straps from the cow hide through to the hand saddle stitching with thick wax thread.
No machine work here - these belts are made the old fashioned way with traditional hand tools.
Simply give me your waist size when ordering and I will custom make your belt to fit you.
SIZING GUIDE
The size of the belt is measured from the middle hole to where the leather folds over the buckle, with a total of 5 holes each an inch apart. Please read the following instructions and double confirm your belt size. We will not be responsible for any measurement mistakes.
The most accurate way in determining the belt size is to measure the size of your current belt. Measure the distance from where the leather folds over the buckle all the way down to the most often used belt hole. If the distance measures 36 inches, you should order a 36-inch belt.
OR
Measure your waist (where your trousers would sit) with a tape measure. You should choose a belt about 2 inches larger than your exact measurements. For example, if your measurement was 34 inches, you should consider buying a 36-inch belt.
