This handmade casual leather belt featuring contrast stitching, makes for a great wardrobe staple. The nice wide 38mm profile makes it suitable for most trousers, and an excellent black belt for jeans.

We believe in investment buying, this belt will last a lifetime; crafted from carefully selected 3.5 mm Italian vegetable tanned leather, it's natural grain and texture take on character and charm with wear, creating a unique piece, special to you.

Each belt is meticulously constructed by hand in our London Studio by a member of our small team. 

The buckle is attached with press studs enabling you to switch and vary buckles, making it a truly versatile accessory.

Our makers mark is proudly foil stamped on the inside to keep the design of the belt as clean and classic as possible.

We also make these contrast stitched belts in a rich brown leather, in addition to 1 inch womens stitched belts in sleek smooth Italian leather.

 

 

1 1/2" (38 mm) wide stitched leather belt in black, made from our sustainably sourced natural finish leather and detailed with black edge dye and a heavy duty chunky stitch.

The buckles are nickel free, Italian made and hardwearing; choose between brushed silver and antique gold finish, and extend it's versatility by adding a spare buckle and using the press stud buckle attachment to easily swap between styles.

Carefully finished with black edge dye, at a slightly wider 1 1/2" (38 mm) cut, it's a great handmade black belt for jeans, with the extra added interest of the fawn colour contrast stitch.

We choose 3.4 mm thick vegetable tanned leather as it is a more environmentally friendly method of treatment; one which respects and preserves the natural texture and surface variations, creating casual belts that will age beautifully, taking on character and charm with use.

- 1 1/2" (38mm) 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. 

A full grain, natural finish, this leather's charm comes as it is used, aged, and gathers memories.

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.

Try not to let your new leather accessory get wet; if it does, allow it to dry naturally - away from heaters - and it might be worth giving it a little condition after. 

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.
