1 3/4" Classic Black
A wider black belt. Showcases the natural grain.
Handmade black leather belt cut from sustainably sourced vegetable tanned leather. At 1 3/4" (45 mm) wide it's broader than typical jeans belts, and showcases the natural full grain leather. Completed with a choice of nickel free buckles.
At 1 3/4" (45 mm) and slightly wider than usual, this classic black belt makes a strong statement.
Our favourite vegetable tanned leather, sustainably sourced from Italy, is beautifully showcased on this broader cut.
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.
Handmade in our London workshop, we use sustainably sourced vegetable tanned leather; selected it for it's natural grain and texture, this low impact tanning process preserves the unique surface variations and marks for a truly individual accessory that will wear beautifully with age.
Next to our logo, subtly foil stamped on the inside, you will find our 25 year Warranty Snips stamp.
Each piece is built to last, we believe in investment buying, and the creation over time of truly unique pieces specific to the wearer.
- 1 3/4" (45mm) 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.

Excellent quality black leather belt , would recommend,
Superb belt. I purchased a brown belt and then had to get a black one. Now I am sad that I have no reason to buy anymore. Maybe do an oxblood one
Great price, service and really great quality….highly recommend
I'm so happy I can feel like I was 16 (I'm from the 50th year of my life). Without your belts and the entire range of buckles, my jeans wouldn't look the same, not to mention my own and probably other "joys." The quality and style of these products are wonderful. Keep it up, everyone, despite the many changes around us
Fantastic product, service was brilliant
Good quality
Great belt
Well made, high quality leather, great buckle, perfect length. Arrived quickly. Very pleased with purchase. Many thanks.
Lovely quality! I love how durable this belt is.
Lovely quality belt exactly what I wanted, it was a gift for my husband who wanted a wide belt, he's very happy with it. The shipping was really fast as well, which was great. Thankyou.
The black 1-3/4 is just as nice as the classic tan belt! I ordered both with a wider keeper and customer service worked fast to get my custom orders out the door. These belts are made with quality snaps so I can interchange the buckles. Thanks to all at Village Leathers. Pondering a new color now! Mark Morgan
Great quality belts with fast delivery. Brilliant company.
This is the second belt that I have purchased from Village Leathers. Again a first class product, well made to a very high standard. The delivery was prompt and I would recommend Village Leathers.
Beautiful belt, just what I wanted.
Amazing Quality ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Excellent craftsmanship. It's a bit too wide for a women's belt though.
Really lovely belt. Better than I had expected and good value for money.
Very pleased - nice lookin belt!
Brilliant quality, and arrived far sooner than I was expecting. Just bought another in a different style.
Thank you. The 1 3/4" belt is superb.. Just the ticket for my new selvedge levis....
5 stars plus....
I have been trying to buy a black leather belt that fits perfectly into jeans belt loops for months. The one I have had seen better days. However my usual go to shops have for some reason taken to only selling narrow belts, or at least too narrow for jeans
In desperation I took to the internet and found Village Leathers and I'm so glad I did. Fantastic quality at a very reasonable price, delivered to my door.
The information on the website which helps you to choose the right size is spot on.
I will definitely use Village Leathers again and have recommended them to my husband for his next purchase.
Product superbe quality, excellent customer service. Made a mistake on my order and kindly swapped it out with just moments to spare on dispatch. Many thanks. Second order already made.
Excellent product well made and a great price
Great leat Her belt for a very competitive price for the quality when compared with branded options.
Well made in quality leather. Exceeded expectations and immense value for money. Highly recommended. Will buy more.
Wonderful quality belt. Really pleased with it. Packaged very well and delivery was fast. Would definitely buy again!
Excellent as always (repeat customer).
These belts are so beautiful and 100% worth it! I was looking forever for the perfect simple, thick black leather belt and had such a hard time finding them until Village Leathers popped up. Worth every penny and SO cool that there are customizable options. 100% recommend this brand.
My new black belt is a perfect item of clothing, fit for any occasion. I expect to never have to buy another one. I might just buy a brown one.
Thanks. Peter
Promptly delivered and well wrapped, the belts ordered are of excellent quality and precisely as described, whilst I'm sure that they'll outlive me from a durability viewpoint.
You really do get what you pay for these days and I'll certainly order more in the future, excellent quality!!
