Product Story

12 Meter Heritage

What makes a great leather belt great? Start with genuine Italian bullhide, double H weight, leather and put it in the hands of skilled leather tanner who will tan the hide using vegetable tannins such as oak and spruce bark. Then give it to leather craftsmen with years of experience and dedication to their trade. Ones that aren't distracted by manufacturing quotas or the stress of a production line. Rather, to them, each belt is a unique, individual work, an assignment they relish, and one they are not in a hurry to complete.

Inspired by the hand-stitching work found on custom fitted leather coverings on a 12 meter block-and-tackle to protect decks and deckmates, our Sailmaker’s Belt is constructed of two pieces of vegetable tanned, Italian bullhide, permanently bonded and stitched together with heavy-gauge waxed nylon thread. The topsides lock-stitching is done by hand using a waxed nylon cord.

Beautiful, well constructed belt.

I have a 37 inch waist - I know, right between sizes. It really depends on the company if I need a 36” or a 38” pair of pants, but most are 36”. Having said that, I ordered the 38” belt. It is well constructed, and I really like the stitching of the of the blocks on the top and the bottom of the belt - it provides some structure and uniqueness to the belt. I just wish it was about an inch longer since I cannot use the third hole in the belt which is the ‘normal’ hole to use. I must use the 2nd hole which doesn’t allow the belt to fir under the first belt loop on some of my pants. I have had the belt for about 3 months and I wear it once or twice a week. I have received compliments about It since it does have the unique stitching. The belt is well constructed and should be in my closet ready for use for years to come, I just wish it was just a tad longer. What would be helpful: Perhaps put the actual measurements of the different belt on the site so you can measure a current belt to get the size before ordering?
