Our 1 1/8" (30 mm) wide handmade brown leather belt cut from 3.5 mm thick vegetable tanned leather heat embossed with a flowing rose and foliage design. Completed with brushed gold buckle and matching metal loop.

 

Always handmade in London using sustainably sourced vegetable tanned leather, here we've heat embossed -"tooled" - the full grain leather with a flowing rose and foliage design.

The subtle pattern along the leather adds interest and the narrow 1 1/8" (30 mm) width creates a more versatile brown leather belt, suitable for formal wear, as a suit belt, as well as lending itself as the finer detail in a more casual outfit.

Rounded off with a nickel free buckle and matching loop, riveted in place; made in Italy, these buckle and loop sets are hardwearing, coming in a timeless antique gold finish.

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. 

We believe in investment buying and creating belts that will only get better with age; stamped next to our logo, you'll notice our 25 year Warranty Snips - each of our classic belts are built to last, the full grain leather will wear beautifully and last a lifetime.

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.
