General Information on Belt Construction
We use thick supple vegetable tanned leather (top) VS a standard mass-produced leather belt (bottom)
Some companies advertise their loops as " hand stitched". The example shown above is what you typically get. Yes, it's technically "hand stitched" and it'll work... for a while. Personally, I would just save the trouble and use staples
Buckle ends on my Dress belts are stitched in place, again, by hand, down either side of the strap.
Our leather loops are created with the same leather as our belts. They are carefully measured out from a firm piece of leather. Each end is thinned and overlapped with each other. Two needles and thread are passed through each hole into both layers of the loop. This makes it almost impossible for the loop to ever break at the stitching. Our loops are also correctly fitted for each individual belt strap- did you know such a thing existed? Yes, there are "rules" for traditional leather strap work. Too big a loop and it looks sloppy. Too small a loop and you'll struggle to thread it though.
