Mens Leather Belt

Open-edged, single-ply belt that acquires a particularly beautiful patina over time. It is made of vegetable tanned cowhide of German origin, which is characterized by durability and longevity. The "harness leather" acquires these properties primarily through intensive fatliquoring. The solid brass buckle is sewn on by hand with saddler's stitch, the belt edges are cleaned out with wax.

The family-run business Ludwig Schröder in Uetersen, a small town in Schleswig-Holstein (Sleswick-Holsatia), is renowned for belts of the highest quality. Their material of choice is always the best vegetable-tanned or pit-tanned cow’s leather from selected European tanneries. For instance, there is no spraying with colour to achieve a specific stain. The Schröders have their leather barrel-dyed – a process that leaves the leather’s surface structure intact, lively and natural. The company has been in business since 1825. For 140 years, they had a tannery and a workshop producing leather goods. In 1964, they stopped tanning to concentrate on manufacturing leather goods. However, they still have the expertise engrained in their family roots and choose their leathers accordingly.
