J/B SIGNATURE BELTSTHIS BELT LINE IS: Quite possibly, the finest leather belt in the world. I know you are wondering what makes this belt any better than any others. First, let’s talk about the leather that is the finest English Bridle Leather from Sedgwick and company, located in Walsall, England. Sedgwick has produced vegetable-tanned leathers since its founding in 1900, and uses the highest quality hides from the UK and Ireland. The waxy grain is one of the most distinguishable characteristics of the leather. Sedgwick leathers, are 'true' vegetable tanned English Bridle leathers and incredibly unique. It is one of the most premium vegetable tanned leathers in the world.Once we have selected the leather, we look for a thickness between 9 to 10 ounce. One piece of leather 9 to 10 ounce will last for years without coming apart. Then we hand cut to straighten the full length of leather and with a draw knife we hand strip either a1", 11/4” or 11/2’’ wide strap. Then it is cut to length and holes punched for the buckle and the buckle tongue. We hand cut the strap ends to an English point and hand edge all the edges. We finish by sewing completely around the belt twice for an elegant look. Once this is finished, we will hand slick and dye the edges, hand rub and slick again to make the edges of your belt slick and smooth. We apply a clear edge coat to give your belt a finished elegant look. Lastly, we add a heavy stainless steel buckle and leather belt loop with two Chicago screws. This truly handmade belt is why we consider your belt to be one of the finest leather belt in the world. When all is acceptable, I sign your belt for certificate of originality. Every Belt is handmade one at a time after the order is placed. All of my belts are unique and hand signed just for you. Thank you for letting me make your next belt. English bridle leather was and still is tanned to be some of the most beautiful, strongest leather in the world. English bridle leather was first tanned for use in horse bridles in England, hence the name, English bridle leather. It has in the past few years became the premier leather used in high quality, high end men's and ladies belts and accessories.
