oxidised .925 sterling silver buckle belt
description
the double layered silver buckle belt has been hand cut from a washed and tumbled 3mm vegetable tanned horse culatta leather with a rotten corpse matte black dyed finish.
culatta is a special cut combined of the rear just above the cordovan, the belly middles and the hind shanks, offering a dense structure, tight grain and medium to firm temper.
vegetable tanning is a traditional method of treating the hide using natural extracts such as tree bark, for a truly artisanal finish.
the leather belt features a hand forged solid .925 sterling silver buckle with a 10hr slow oxidised finish. the buckle is formed from a single piece of 5mm silver bent and shaped by hand to form the disconnected silhouette. the center bar and pin have been shaped and hammered using a 3mm silver. The double layering of leather ensures the belt is robust, with a smooth surface sitting against your clothes.
tonal 0.65mm hand waxed japanese linen thread has been used to connect the two deconstructed panels and the double layers, which are sewn without the use of machines over an 8 hour period.
each piece comes in a handmade leather pouch.
custom leathers are available upon request.
