Extreme sharpness is ephemeral!
You won't be disappointed, every couple of months give it a light coating of neatsfoot oil, it will quickly absorb the oil, there will be no transfer from belt to clothing.

Interesting thread.. Just binned a belt that the buckle separated from. We worked out that I had been using it almost daily for over 28 years and where did it come from? Next!. Nothing special but boy did it last well. This was more of a 1 1/2 " belt rather than a smaller trouser belt. Using a nice Timberland in its place but still miss the old one.

@stormcrowuk belts are beautiful and still haven't broke in and look like new even after months of wearing 4 to 5 days a week.

Got one from Knights Saddlery on Jamie's recommendation. Nice guy there was super quick in making a belt to order. Very pleased. Quality gear. Picture does not do it justice.

Gents, I am looking for a formal/office wear leather belt. Just tired with the ‘Italian leather’ type non-stitch belts of two halves pasted together that invariably splits and open at seam no sooner than next Christmas.
I was looking through few shell cordovan from online store of brands and say, they cost an arm and a leg for overseas customer. Etsy is not exactly cheap either, unless I have spectacularly failed knowing how filter button works.
Is there any hobby website that can supply only the ‘blanks’ of a generic length, made from bridle leather or cordovan? I can get it finished with buckle and sewing from my trusted shoemaker.
I am also open to suggestions for a handmade belt from independent craftsman.
