Made to be repaired.
Hand-cut vegetable-tanned leather, saddle-stitched by hand, and fixed free for as long as you own it. We would rather sell you one belt than five.

Each piece is cut from a single hide, so grain and colour vary. Stock counts below are live.
A machine-sewn seam is one thread. Pull it anywhere and the whole seam unzips. A saddle stitch is two threads locked against each other — cut one and the other holds.
It takes about forty times longer. It is also the reason we can promise to repair anything we have ever sold.
We buy whole vegetable-tanned hides from one tannery in Pennsylvania and cut around the flaws by eye.
Cut with a round knife, edges bevelled, then burnished with water and friction alone — no plastic edge paint.
Marked with a pricking iron, held in the pony, and stitched by hand with waxed linen thread.
Hardware set, edges slicked a second time, then oiled and left to rest for a day before it ships.
Leather is one of the few materials that gets better with damage, provided somebody is willing to look after it. We are that somebody, and we do not charge for it.
Stitching, hardware, edges. Send it in and we will fix it and send it back. You pay postage one way.
Ten years of sun does what ten years of sun does. We will bring the colour back for the cost of shipping.
Thirty days, unworn, no restocking fee and no questions about why.
