The Leather
Every belt we make begins with full-grain combination-tanned leather. This is vegetable tanned with a small chrome tan to add a beautiful pull-up and texture to the leather. Our belts are made with buffalo hide which is stronger and more durable than cowhide, perfect for your everyday wear.
Unlike corrected or bonded leathers, full-grain leather retains the natural surface of the hide. No sanding or coating. Complete with the subtle variations in grain and tone that make each piece entirely unique.
Vegetable tanning is a slow, traditional process using natural tannins derived from tree bark. It produces a leather that is firm and structured when new, then gradually softens and moulds to the wearer over time. With use, it develops a rich patina — deepening in colour, gaining character, and becoming more beautiful with every year.
This is leather that doesn't just age — it improves.
The Hardware
We use solid brass hardware throughout — buckle, keeper, and rivets. Brass is chosen for its strength, weight, and how it ages over time.
The hardware is sand-cast from solid brass, giving them a substantial feel and a textured finish that develops a warm patina with use. They won’t flake or wear like plated alternatives.
Each belt is secured with solid brass rivet and burr fastenings — a traditional method known for its strength. These are peened by hand for a tighter, longer-lasting hold that won’t loosen with wear.
No plating or coatings are used — just solid, honest materials made to last.
