A 1 1/8" (30 mm) wide full grain brown leather belt finished with dark brown edge dye, contrast chunky stitching, and choice of buckle colour. 

 

We added these to our collection after requests for a narrower, version of our popular 1 1/2" wide stitched belt for jeans.

1 1/8" (30 mm) wide and made in London using our favourite vegetable tanned leather from Italy;`3.5 mm thick and selected for being a more sustainable lower impact method of producing leather.

Contrasting chunky beige stitch and completed with dark brown edge dye creating a handmade casual leather belt that is versatile, comfortable and that wears beautifully, taking on character and charm with use.

The buckles are nickel-free, made from zamak, and available in either antique gold or brushed silver finish.

If you do prefer a wider brown belt for jeans, these are also available in 1 1/2" (38 mm).

- 1 1/8" (30mm) wide.

- 3.5mm thick full grain vegetable tanned leather from Italy.

- Heavy duty bonded nylon thread.

- Zamak (nickel-free) buckles.

- Press studs to swap out buckles.

- Handmade in London.

To figure out your perfect fit, measure a well fitting belt from the place at which the buckle is attached to the most used hole.

Alternatively, if you do have a tape measure to hand, measure over your trousers, exactly as you would wear the belt - which allows for the added bulk of the trousers. 

The leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible. This highlights the natural grain and texture, as well as growth marks and scars, beautifully preserving the organic story of the material.

The leather we use for our classic belts is low maintenance and easy to care for. Most small scratches can be polished out with a clean, soft cloth.

If you feel it’s in need of some extra affection, you might like to use a leather conditioner. Anything with beeswax or natural oils is best. Feel free to get in touch for our own recommendation.

We do not recommend using a coloured conditioner, as there is a high risk of colour transfer onto clothes. A neutral one will rejuvenate the colour slightly without the risk of damage.

The buckles we use for our classic belts are Brass or Zamak which shines up well with typical metal polishes. Always test the polish in an inconspicuous place first.

All of our leather is supplied by tanneries who are audited and certified by the Leather Working Group.

The Leather Working Group is the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG has identified environmental best practices in the industry and audits tanneries to assess the environmental performance of leather manufacturing facilities – and certifies those that meet the standards.

The leather used for our Belts is supplied by a Tuscan tannery that has a Silver Rating from the LWG, as well as being a member of The Genuine Italian Vegetable Tanned Leather Consortium.

The Consortium’s mission is to safeguard the centuries-old tradition of vegetable tanning and to guarantee the quality of the raw material and workmanship. The Consortium guarantees manufacturing processes compatible with the ecosystem and not harmful to people.
