Handcrafted Leather Belts

Welcome to the craft of leather belt making.

It demands a discipline and style and determination to do things - that matter (and last).

Things that you can keep, and give to the next generation.

What if what you wore was truly unique?

A one of a kind.

Made specifically for you.

That's the 'Solid Leather ethos'.

The fact that you're wearing something that is truly handcrafted.

Not some mass-market thing.

And something that will last, backed by the 'My Lifetime Guarantee'.

Solid Leather is nothing less than a lifelong passion.

So if:

You don't want to be buying 5 $20 belts for them to fall apart after a few months.
You want to know when you pull your belt out that you can rely on it to look great, and last.

At Solid Leather we're forging our own path.

One that goes against fast fashion and throw away garments.

Not having a good belt is like not having holes on your shoes (or sleeping on a crappy mattress).

Endurance, integrity, effortless style and craftsmanship. I take those ideas seriously.

To guarantee your belt for life, I have to.

"BEST LEATHER BELT I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!!!" - JOHN JURCIC

A wallet takes a beating a belt never sees. In and out of pockets, sat on, bent, soaked if you're not careful. Solid Leather wallets are built for that.

Same leather on every wallet as the belts. Full-grain hides from Wickett & Craig, hand-stitched, same five colours, so they perfectly match. For life.

Three builds, depending on what you carry. The Slim, for one card and cash and nothing extra. The Everyday, for a normal carry that disappears in your pocket. The Legacy, with a money clip, for the guy who still carries cash and wants the wallet to hold its own.

As one customer asked "how can you have a lifetime guarantee on a wallet?"

I can't. But I can use the best materials I can find and take pride in what I make. The fact that you are using something I made with my hands means I want you using it. I back up what I make. It's just that simple.

What you order here now is going to be forever yours. Guaranteed.
