'BRONZE S' BROWN STAINED OAK BARK TANNED LEATHER BELT

£160.00 (inc VAT) £133.33 (exc VAT)

Tender's 'Bronze S Buckle' leather belts are cut, sewn, and gold foil stamped by hand in England, from brown stained leather tanned for 18 months in England using oak bark liquor. The buckle is lost wax-cast in England from solid bronze, using a caster's pattern hand constructed in England. 

The 'S' buckle was the second buckle in Tender's collection, and is an experiment around the idea of a slider used on bags, straps, and tailored trousers or waistcoats. While a standard slider is a rectangle with a bar across the middle, this buckle takes the form of a single 'S' eliminating the unnecessary sides. The space between the three horizontal bars is calculated to hold the buckle firm once it's correctly set, and because there are no holes, this belt can be very finely adjusted for fit. 

Prior to the launch of the Trestle Shop, all of Tender's belt buckles have been cast in brass, an alloy of copper and zinc. This buckle, however, is cast from bronze, a similar alloy but with a higher copper content. The extra copper gives bronze a slightly darker, pinker, cast, and over time it will patinate darker than brass does. 

Tender's belts cut from this brown stained oak bark leather are also available with bronze 'Wire', 'Keeper' and 'Stud' buckles, and on black leather with a bronze 'Hook'. 'Loops' belts are made with cotton webbing. Wattle-tanned leather wallets are made unstained or hand-dyed with black logwood. To keep the leather supple and in top condition we recommend using pure mutton tallow Boot Grease.
