Handmade in our London workshop, the elasticated webbing belt combines extra comfort with the durability and style of the leather trim. 
Soft and strong 25 mm wide elastic webbing is finished with leather tabs and a brass buckle. 
The subtle contrast of the webbing with the leather gives understated interest, making it a great accessory for casual trousers and it's narrow 25 mm width makes it a excellent waist belt. 
Our leather webbing belts are crafted from sturdy elastic webbing sourced from master weavers in Belgium and the leather used is our best quality Italian vegetable tanned leather; it's thick and supple quality is designed to last.
The narrow leather trimmed elasticated webbing belt is available in black, brown, and navy
 
 

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 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.
