All the belts I show here were made by me, so I could make one for you, too.

@JDelage The hardest part is finding a good sling. Honestly, I don't even have any idea where to get it in indigo... But I'll look for it.

Some recent custom work. Narrow ring belt, cotton strap with roughout leather trimming. Casual belt made from J&FJ Baker stirrup leather. Two oak bark bridle belts.

Two Garrison belts made of black oak bark bridle leather from J&FJ Baker. One style, different width.

Black oak bark bridle belt. Heavily distressed by hand for a timeworn look. Does it look cool, or is it overdone with aging?

I made this belt about two years ago, and this is how it looked new. The customer wore it every day all this time and sent me some photos recently. Amazing beautiful patina, and the leather is still very strong and not stretched at all, the belt will last for many years. That's what I love oak bark stirrup leather for!

Hand-braided and hand stitched belt made from oak bark English bridle leather.

Baker and Sedgwick roughout belts.

Natural roughout belt. Made from oak bark tanned leather (J&FJ Baker) and finished with a slightly burnished solid brass garrison buckle.

@BrownMetallic Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you for the good idea! I tried to make it, and I think the result looks pretty good. J&FJ Baker natural roughout bridle leather (australian nut on the inside) finished with a slightly aged nickel-plated brass garrison buckle.

@Cold Summer Thank you for the nice words! Yeah, you're right, I use Japanese and English buckles. I'm a leather artisan and specialize mainly in casual belts, although I do other accessories and bags. Usually, the belts I show here were custom-made.
