The Belt Makers (TBM) hand crafting leather

The Belt Makers (TBM) have a deserved reputation for premier quality handcrafted English leather belts.

obtaining their leather from the holders of the royal warrant for the supply of saddlery materials to the crown, their leathers of choice are Sedgwicks First Grade, vegetable tanned English bridle butts. arguably the best leather on the planet, it is well know for its strength, durability, density an lustre.

having chosen the best materials, each step of TBM's belt making is carried out by hand with no electrical machinery used during any part of the process. Straps are individually cut with a tool called a plough gauge, edges are veined with an edge crease. Sewing is done with two hands, two needles and a length of thread, while the work is held in place in a wooden seat called a pony.

gradually softening and moulding to the shape of the body, your carbon belts and leather belts also develop a glorious natural shape and character, becoming a highly desirable and wonderful personal accessory that could not possibly be purchased in a new form.
