Two handmade leather belts laid out on sunlit asphalt, throwing long shadows

Delta, British Columbia

Handmade leather,
built to last.

01 The Collection

Three pieces.
One pair of hands.

Everything here is cut, stitched and finished by me in Delta, British Columbia.

02 The Craft

Full-grain. Vegetable-tanned.
Stitched by hand.

I cut, bevel, burnish and stitch by hand. Belts and sheaths are saddle-stitched, two needles at a time.

Saddle stitch
Two needles cross in every hole. Break one stitch and the seam still holds.
Machine seam
One thread locked through itself. Cut it once and the seam unzips.

03 Specification

What everything
is made of.

Every value below comes off the piece itself, and anything I cannot verify is not listed.

Leather
9–10 oz full-grain vegetable-tanned for the belt and the sheath. The wallet is a lighter 3–4 oz so it folds thin.
Stitching
Belts and sheaths are saddle-stitched by hand, two needles to a seam. The wallet is hand-stitched.
Thread
Ritza Tiger 0.6 mm on the wallet. Cream thread on the sheath.
Hardware
Belt buckles in antique silver, chrome plated or brushed gun metal. Copper rivets.
Edges
Bevelled, sanded and burnished by hand. The sheath seam runs over a leather welt.
Sizing
Belts are 30 mm wide, in eight waist sizes from 24–26 to 38–40. The sheath loop takes a belt up to 40 mm.
Ageing
Vegetable-tanned leather darkens with light and use, and takes the shape of what you carry.
Care
Keep it dry. Feed it a neutral leather conditioner about once a year. Nothing else is needed.
Made in
Delta, British Columbia. One person, evenings and weekends, start to finish.
Warranty
Lifetime. If a piece I made fails, I repair or replace it free. I do not give refunds.

What People Say

5 stars across the board.

A single handmade leather belt coiled on concrete with the buckle facing forward

Start with a belt.

A belt was the first thing I ever made, at fourteen, and it is still where I would start.

Commissions
Yes, within reason. No bags, I have neither the leather nor the hours.
