The Perth Leather belt

At 3 inches wide, or 76mm, which ever you prefer, is the widest leather belt that I craft. A dress belt designed to be worn over your outfit.

Leather
As with all of my leather belts I use only top quality bridle butt leather. Bridle butt leather is very strong, yet pliable and supple. It ages beautifully and develops an outstanding individuality. Being made to measure ensures that you have the perfect fit.

Buckle
A solid brass London Dee buckle is used for the Perth leather belt. This is a large buckle that compliments perfectly.

Stitching
The buckle is stitched to the leather belt by hand using the time-honoured skill of the master craftsman. I stitch along the length of the leather helping to keep its strength. The stitches are place at 8 stitches to every inch using two needle, two hand stitching. This style of stitching is much stronger than machine stitching as the linen thread passes through the leather completely before moving to the next stitch.

Adjustment
5 holes spaced at 1 ½ inches allow for adjustment. The measurement that you order will be to the middle of these holes.
