This belt can be personalised, please see further below. ... our manufacturing Using traditional handtools and skills of the old English Saddlery Trade, this stunning belt will be hand cut, handstitched at eight stitches per inch, then carefully finished entirely by hand, by a National Award winning craftsman. The leather is designed for a job: thick enough to be a belt, it will stand up to the rigours of everyday use.

There are several colours available and we can supply leather colour samples, please ask. Please take extra care to check the required size carefully as different trouser styles can require a different belt size; TBM belts are measured from where the leather turns over the buckle to the centre of the range of holes. To find the right size, take a belt that the recipient likes to wear: some detective work may be required here! Measuring the leather part only, take the length from where the leather touches the buckle to the hole that is most often used. Please select the nearest size from the options available. If you are unsure, or need a larger or smaller size, just drop us a line and we will be pleased to help. . ... Sedgwick's First Selection, English Bridle Butt Leather with a 38mm solid brass 'West End' buckle with a stainless steel tongue, for strength, aesthetic appearance and a nod to our English Saddlery Heritage. With the strength to last for the lifetime of the wearer and beyond, this buckle is handcast in sand using methods hundreds of years old at our supplier's foundry in Walsall (West Midlands, England), this classic style buckle is polished to our specially ordered high shine finish. Obtained from the supplier with the Royal Warrant and used in horse harness, Sedgwick's best bridle leather is world renowned for its strength, durability, density and lustre, and when new it is fairly stiff. As the product is worn in, in a similar way to wearing in new boots, the belt leather will react to the natural oils in the hands and to the body heat of the wearer, and gradually become more supple over time. This produces a wonderfully personal accessory, a condition which cannot be purchased in a newly made state. Each strap is cut from a single layer of this unique leather... it cannot delaminate, needs no stitching around the edges to hold it together and will not split at the holes in the same way as those available from popular high street retailers. TBM customers appreciate the difference between belts which are 'hand-machined' and 'handmade'... please do take a moment to view the 'storefront' for more information (click on the 'TBM - The Belt Makers' link, above and to the right) We endorse the 'Slow Fashion' ethos. It won't be necessary to replace this belt each season as it will last for years under normal wear circumstances. Please see our reviews! . ... personalisation Bespoke TBM belts can be personalised with a message of up to 3 lines on the 3.8cm and 2.9cm widths or 2 lines on the 3.3cm and 3.8cm widths; approx 10 characters per line, depending on the characters used, ie. 'M' and 'W' take up more space then 'I' and '!'. This service is an additional £9.95 and we are happy to help you with character spacing and special character availability. We have a variety of puctuation symbols and even lower case 'x' for kisses. The message can be positioned after the buckle and keepers (hidden when fastened) or after the holes at the other end of the strap. The standard direction of text appears so that the recipient wears their belt with the strap end pointing to the right as you look at them; please select your options in the order menu. This will avoid the message or initials being displayed upside down. Thanks, and we look forward to hearing from you! .
