It really looks just as beautiful in real life, it fits perfectly, and Trevor seems incredibly passionate and sweet! Super happy to support a local handmade business!
A
The belt is fantastic quality and great value. I would recommend this belt without hesitation.

Purchased the English Bridle Belt and have absolutely no complaints. Quality durable belt that gets wears with jeans and also dressed up when needed.
Five colors that get better with wear.
Vegetable-tanned English bridle from Chahin, and from Hermann Oak for Chestnut. It darkens and picks up a soft sheen the longer you wear it.

What you're buying
-
One strap, no stitching
Single-ply, full grain English bridle, 1-1/2" (38 mm) wide and 8 to 10 oz thick. No layers to split apart.
-
Solid brass buckle
Three styles and three finishes: brass, nickel matte or chrome. Cavalier swaps nickel matte for brushed nickel.
-
It patinas
The leather darkens and changes color as you wear it, slowly, like whiskey aging. Black stays black. London Tan changes the most.
-
Lasts if you look after it
Leather is a natural product, not an indestructible one. Treat it right and it will last a really long time.
The maker
I make belts. That's the whole business.
I'm the guy who cuts, burnishes and assembles every belt you order. By hand, to order, in New Jersey outside Philadelphia.
I work nights as an EMT. By day I make belts.
A good belt should be simple, last a long time, and cost a fair price. That's it.
How to find your belt size
For the best fit, measure a belt you own or your waist. For a quick estimate, go by your pant size.
-
Measure a belt you own
Lay it flat and measure from the fold where the leather wraps the buckle to the hole you use most. That number is your size.
-
Or measure your waist
Wrap a tape measure around your waist where your belt sits, over your pants. That number is your size.
-
Quick estimate: go by pant size
Add 2" to your pant waist size. It's a rough guide, and it's how most customers order.
I make every adult size, 28" to 48". Custom lengths are final sale.
When this isn't the belt for you
-
You want a status brand. My belts are unbranded, and I like my small niche that way.
-
You want heavy customization. No custom tooling here. I'll point you to another maker.
-
You want something indestructible. Leather is a natural material. Take care of it and it lasts a very long time.
-
A good leatherworker lives near you. Buy local. You'll make their day.
A good belt shouldn't be complicated.
You need good leather and a good buckle, put together well. Belts start at $85 for casual and $90 for dress. Shipping is free in the contiguous US, and you get 30 days to return it, with unlimited exchanges.

Try it on for 30 days
Trying it on is fine. If it isn't right, send it back unworn, or exchange it as many times as you need.

Built to be repaired
Chicago screws, not rivets, so a belt can be repaired instead of replaced.
