crushed bone reverse culatta bicep belts

the double layered leather bicep belts, have been cut from a butter soft full grain 2mm vegetable tanned, washed and tumbled reverse horse culatta leather. in a crushed bone colour with an array of tonal nuances. vegetable tanned leather is an ancient artisanal process that hinges on the delicate balance between timing and temperature. like a fine aged whiskey time is key, the careful balance of time allows the natural tannins such as tree bark to infuse, yielding rich colours and unparalleled durability. controlled cooling plays a crucial role in achieving that coveted texture and suppleness you come to expect. crafted from a two piece pattern the bicep belts feature a small hand forged, hammered and shaped .925 sterling silver buckle for adjustment, with a 10 hour slow oxidised finish. each of the stitch holes have been individually spaced and punched by hand, with each stitch meticulously implemented in a tonal 0.65mm hand waxed japanese linen thread without the use of machines. each piece comes in a hand made leather package. custom leathers, sizes and finishes are available upon request.
