Oak Bark Tanned Leather Belt
Sizing:
Important: Your waist size does not correspond to your belt size.
See illustration diagram above:
To measure your belt size you need to take an existing belt and lay it on a flat surface. Measure in inches from the inside edge of the buckle to the most used hole. This is the measurement I need. The given measurement will be to the centre hole of your new belt.
All belts are custom made to size so be sure to follow the sizing description exactly as returns cannot be accepted. Please see shop policies for more information around returns on bespoke made items.
Belt width - 38mm (1 1/2")
Made from local Devon oak bark tanned leather and incorporating solid brass or stainless steel hardware, this handmade leather belt is something your grandchildren will be arguing over.
This particular leather contains so many variations in colour and markings that each belt made with it is completely unique. The leather is produced at a local tannery that dates back to Roman times and uses a traditional English tanning process, celebrating craftsmanship beyond just the creation of the belt itself.
Nestled in the town of Colyton, J&FJ Baker's is Britain's last remaining oak bark tannery using traditional techniques to create this very special local leather. Tanned with only stripped oak bark and stream water, from start to finish this leather goes through a 18 month long process and the finished product speaks for itself. It is strong, versatile and both looks and smells incredible. This is truly a belt for leather lovers.
As a classic staple, we know it needs to stand the test of time. So, we’ve crafted this belt to both last and age beautifully. With proper care, it will be a part of your wardrobe for many years to come. As a classic staple, it makes a great gift too.
The Chicago screws that will be used with the stainless steel buckles are nickel plated brass.
Each leather belt is made from a 4.5 - 5.5 mm (approx) thick piece of oak bark bridle butt and is 38mm (1 1/2”) wide.
