I've just finished these three bridle leather belts, all made with Baker's traditionally oak-bark tanned bridle leather, arguably the best leather you can buy. The one inch belt is black, with the 1 1/4 inch belts in London Tan and Australian Nut. All the buckles are solid brass, with the buckle on the tan belt being nickel plated, as I think that the silver grey colour looks better than brass against the tan leather.
This latter buckle is the first of a new sample I'm trying out, They are English sand cast buckles, made at the last brass buckle foundry left in England. Not cheap, but something that complements very well the traditional leather.
As ever, the belts are completely hand made, not a sewing machine in sight!
Thanks for looking.
