The classic. At 1½" (38 mm) this is the standard jeans width, in a black full-grain leather that ages beautifully and only looks better with use.

Handmade in London from 3.5 mm vegetable-tanned leather. The buckle is fixed with heavy-duty press studs — secure, but easy to swap when you fancy a change. All our buckles are nickel-free and UK- or Italian-sourced.

Vegetable tanning is the natural, lower-impact way to make leather: it keeps the grain, the texture, and the occasional honest mark from the hide's past life. Stamped beside our logo is the 25-year warranty snip.

 

Our Classic 1 1/2" (38 mm) wide black leather belt is a time honoured favourite. A standard width belt for jeans, the full grain leather chosen is for it's unique natural grain and texture - these belts age beautifully.

As ever, handmade in London using sustainably sourced vegetable tanned leather, at 3.5 mm thickness.

The buckle is attached with heavy duty press studs; a secure fitting that still gives you the option to easily swap and change buckles - adding versatility and extending it's wear. Our buckles are all nickel free and Italian or UK sourced.

Stamped next to our logo, you'll notice our 25 year Warranty Snips - guaranteeing you a lifetimes worth of wear.

The leather we choose is vegetable tanned, which means it is produced in the most natural way possible. This beautifully preserves the organic past life of the material, highlighting the natural grain and texture, as well as the occasional growth marks or surface imperfections.

- 1 1/2" (38mm) wide.

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

- Buckles are Nickel free; brass or zamak.

- Press studs to swap out buckles.

- 25 Year Warranty.

- Handmade in London.

Colour note: leather is a natural material and some variation between hides is to be expected. Please bear in mind that monitor settings may also create variance.

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.

Poor quality of belt and buckle. leather quality significantely not as good as shown on picture. Return cost alsmost the same as belt itself, and I have to cover it on my own. Huge dissapointment

Great belt, feels like it will last a long time, i will change my review if that feeling changes but so far no complaints.

Felt a bit stung by the delivery fee, ended up costing £28 overall, just keep that in mind.

Great quality

I was looking for a classic quality leather belt, this belt was exactly that. Really good leather, I can smell it when I wear the belt. With a classic gold buckle. Just what I was looking for. I now want to buy different colours and thicknesses for different outfit options.

seems like good quality

i think it is a good quality belt overall, nice thickness, robust, one small thing is that i’ve noticed i think the leather has a bit of finish on it, a little plasticky, which im not sure if it will peel overtime or deteriorate. other than that im sure the belt itself will last.

Beautiful belt & glasses case.

Purchased a black 1 1/2 inch belt & Missouri glasses case in burgundy. They were both extremely good quality items, beautifully made, that should see many years of use. I’ve a couple of other very good quality belts that use full grain Italian leather that were considerably more expensive, if iam honest these are of equal quality. Very impressed with the quality to price ratio & I look forward to future purchases😀
