1" Classic Black
Slim black belt for trousers. Everyday smart.
A skinny black belt that goes everywhere — 1" (25 mm) wide, as at home through jeans as it is over a dress or with a suit.
Handmade in London from 3.5 mm full-grain, vegetable-tanned Italian leather, chosen for its natural grain and the way it improves with wear. The press-stud fixing lets you swap the buckle in seconds; all our buckles are nickel-free and UK- or Italian-sourced.
Stamped beside our logo is the 25-year warranty snip — if it ever fails, we repair it or replace it.
Always handmade by a member of our small team in our London workshop, using full grain vegetable tanned leather.
The narrow 1" (25mm) profile of this black leather belt makes it highly versatile; easily fitting both jeans and more formal trousers, or worn as a neat waist belt.
Constructed with our unique press stud attachment to enable buckle swapping - letting you swap out styles with ease - making our thin black belt an even more versatile accessory.
In addition to this skinny black belt, our handmade belts are available in rich brown and classic tan.
Selected for it's lower environmental impact, vegetable tanned leather preserves the natural grain and texture of the leather for a truly unique and variegated finish.
The press stud attachment lets you swap out buckles with ease, to suit you outfit, mood, or the day of the week, so why not add a spare buckle to get even more wear out of your new favourite belt.
- 1" (25mm) 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.

I have now bought several belts from Village Leathers and am very pleased with all of them. All very well made and strong.

My fiance absolutely loved this belt
Great belt but got the wrong size so changing to medium.
It arrived when expected, it looks OK and it stops my trousers falling down
A really lovely belt. Wondeful quality for a good price and I ove that it's made here in the UK!
Buying from a small specialist company with the confidence to offer such a long guarantee I was expecting a quality product but my expectation was exceeded. It was a present for one of my daughters who absolutely loves it.
I’ve ordered multiple belts, they’re all amazing! High quality, and so well priced
This is my third order from Village Leathers and the quality of the belts is what keeps me coming back. This belt is no different, it’s just what I wanted. I highly recommend this company, their communication is spot on with amazingly fast delivery.
Excellent pre-purchase support - all my questions were answered quickly! I purchased this belt (one of three) as a gift for my wife. Very happy with the quality of the leather and the construction. She also appreciates that the buckles are interchangeable so she can mix-and-match! The super-fast International shipping was a nice surprise. Looking forward to my next purchase!
Great belt, very happy with quality. Thank you.
Very pleasant surprise at the quality of this product for myself and for the recipient both !!!!!!!!!! One piece of advice though ... The Lady went on line to look at your Handbags but was disappointed that "No interior views" were available ... Get them up there !!!!
As described and fast shipping
