Hand made English bridle leather belts

[engine]

All belts are made entirely by hand using traditional methods.

The leather from J. & F.J. Baker tannery: the best quality, full grain, oak bark tanned bridle butt. This traditional method of tanning leather has almost died out but it produces a leather of unsurpassed strength and beauty. The natural grain is not corrected by destroying the surface of the leather and applying a uniform finish, as is the case with virtually all leather these days, the weave or grain gives each individual belt its own unique finish. This matures over the years to a rich polished colour, showing any natural features, such as scars or growth marks, which give character to the leather.
