This leather is so soft to handle in spite of its thickness. At 5mm (¼ inch) thick, it might seem a little extreme for a belt for a human, but its softness gives it supreme comfort.

Made from Baker’s Devon leather, you can begin to create your own heartwarming story of a favourite belt that can be used by several members, even generations of the same family, and yet more stories of a belt that carries the scuffs, dents and marks of everyday life as it accompanies the wearer through college, relationships, children, pets etc.

Here at TBM we get it. A belt isn’t just a product, it’s part of the family.
