Handmade, Hand Stitched Red Veg tanned Leather Belt.

This Fabulous overlapped belt features two solid brass buckles and a lovely curved profile at the front, narrowing to a slim 1”strap at the back, and is designed to flatter the waist. It measures 3”wide at its widest point and has three holes on each side for adjustment. It is made from High Quality English Veg tanned leather and is currently available in red coloured pull-up leather. As pull-up leather bends and flexes, the colour lightens giving the belt an attractive vintage look. See Photos.

This belt is designed to be worn over clothing such as dresses, and worn at the natural waist, i.e. at the narrowest point of the torso. See Photos. The sizing below also includes a measurement of the inside of the belt. So if your waist measures roughly 29.5”you would be a size 8 and would wear the size 8 -12 belt using the tightest holes. To measure your waist accurately use a soft dressmakers tape measure and measure over your clothes, preferably whilst wearing something similar to what you will wear your belt with.

8-12      (inside measurement 29.5”- 33.5”)

12-16    (inside measurement 33.5”- 37.5”)

16-20    (inside measurement 37.5”- 41.5”)

HAND-STITCHED

Hand-stitched in the traditions of English Saddlery, using what is often referred to as double-handed or saddle-stitching. This traditional saddlery style method of stitching has greater integrity than machine stitching.

No sewing machines are involved in this process, all stitching is done entirely by hand.

HAND-CUT

This item is cut by hand without the use of a press and instead using a traditional Saddler’s knife and other Saddlery tools.

HAND-BURNISHED

As this is veg-tanned leather, the edges of this belt are polished to a high shine by hand. We do not need to coat the raw edges in plastic as is necessary with chrome-tanned leather.

HAND-EMBOSSED

This belt comes hand-stamped on the reverse of the buckle turn with the distinctive egallowayleather logo.

CONSTRUCTION DETAIL

Corners are nicked to prevent unsightly folding and bending and edges are bevelled to remove sharp edges created when cutting the item out by hand. A Saddler works in the same way to ensure equine comfort and therefore the safety of horse and rider. Following this approach creates an item, which is not only comfortable to use but a joy to handle.

MADE IN ENGLAND

This belt is made entirely, in a small workshop in Walthamstow, London, United Kingdom.

CLEANING

We suggest cleaning this belt with a soft lint free cloth and Fiebings 4 Way to it’s appearance and water resistant nature. Please do not use shoe polish as even clear polish may occasionally darken leather.

If you feel unsure about doing this yourself, or any of the above information please contact us using the details below. We will be happy to advise you and answer other queries you may have.

BESPOKE

Customers interested in other kinds of modifications to this belt, e.g. different stitching colour, leather, or personalisation should enquire before ordering.
