Atlantic Rancher Handmade Brown Leather Sailmaker's Belt

$138.00

Size

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.

Story

Batten down the galley boys, the ship’s about to roll!

We were on the hunt for an American manufacturer, by that we mean a “genuine manufacturer” one that owns the process, from clay to the galley...not an “importer and marketer of goods” from far away places. We found what we were after in W. Virginia. The Homer Laughlin Company, a family-run, multi-generational family employer that’s been at their craft since 1871 and is today, the last standing American pottery. Our man at the helm was Bill Pickin, himself a 30 yr. veteran at HLC. With Bill's guidance, we built from scratch a darn nice replica of the authentic US Navy coffee cup, which the Navy commissioned in the 1940’s to withstand a ship’s roll in the open oceans. Thus the thick-walled body and girthy profile.

The process starts with what Bill calls “the batter” a concoction of clay, fleldspar, alpha alumina and a few secret ingredients. Each piece is jiggered. The handles are cast and attached by hand, our inscriptions are hand placed in the assigned location, and into the fire they go. After a 12 hour cycle in the kiln, they are ready for inspection...one that rivals that of the US NAvy Sailor’s Uniform Inspection. Mission readiness?...yup, we’re sure of it.

Absolutely thrilled with all of the purchases i have made from Atlantic Rancher. Not only that my friends are very complimentary of my new wardrobe. Also the service is amazing. A long sleve t-shirt was sent in the wrong size ordered. I called Engle he sent the correct size that day and with a most enthusiastic and "pleased to help" attitude. I am a long term customer of the Atlantic Rancher.

Sailmaker's Belt

With enough style to indicate a discerning buyer, but understated enough to look fine in any setting, the Sailmaker's Belt is just right. The 12 Meter Heritage adds a good connection, even if the on-lookers never learn the background. Atlantic Rancher stands up for its commitment to quality and service -- nice to see in these times.
