A hand made, vegetable tanned leather belt. This saddlery leather is a sturdy and comfortable ¼” thickness.
The front face is a fine, deep satin finish with hand tooled edging and lining. The dye runs through to the rear face of the belt wich has a natural finish. Comes with 7 holes and a 3” English Point belt end.
The edges are hand creased and burnished.
Available in 1 ½” and 1 ¼” widths.
The Fireman’s Quick Release buckle is uniquely from past times but looks very much in the present. The belt worn normally has the clasp facing down so it does not dig in. See the belt on the rock. These buckles would hold fire hoses to the tenders securely until needed, when a flick of the lever would open the buckle quickly. It can be worn either way up and is secure both ways. These are hand cast, polished and constructed in a family owned foundry in the West Midlands. The brass finish has a deep lustre that will keep for a lifetime. The bright nickel finish is hand plated in the foundry to a generous hard wearing thickness.
Each buckle is hand stitched in a double lengthwise run ensuring the leather will never split along the stitching. There are double loops in the same leather forming a secure hold on the strap.
The belt is also available in deep Whisky Tan.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Product Care — Handmade Leather Belt with Metal Buckle
Cleaning
Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth to
remove dust and surface dirt. Do not soak in water or use harsh chemical
cleaners, bleach, or alcohol-based products, as these will dry out and damage
the leather.
Conditioning
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or beeswax balm
every 2–3 months to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking. Buff in
circular motions with a clean cloth and allow to absorb fully before wearing.
Metal buckle care
Wipe the buckle with a dry cloth to remove fingerprints and
light tarnish. Avoid prolonged moisture contact to prevent rusting or
oxidisation. Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal polish directly on coated
finishes.
Storage
Store your belt flat or loosely rolled in a cool, dry place
away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and humidity. Avoid folding sharply or
storing under heavy objects, which can cause permanent creasing.
What to expect from genuine leather
Handmade leather will naturally develop a patina over time —
a subtle deepening of colour and texture that is unique to each piece. This is
a hallmark of genuine full-grain leather and a sign of quality, not a defect.
Minor variations in grain and tone are characteristic of a handcrafted product.
