Wide 1.6 in (4 cm) strap with clean, straight longitudinal edges.

Square letter-frame brass buckle with a curved, flattened-tip tongue.
Type: leather belt
Dimensions / Size: strap and buckle both 1.6 in (4 cm) wide

Finish / color: burnished tea-core edges; antiqued brushed brass; black, wine red, or deep chocolate
Closure: solid brass frame buckle, screw-fixed attachment

The grain is left natural, showing faint hair-cell texture, occasional surface scratches, healed range marks and minor blemishes. Edges are burnished to a smooth rounded profile in warm mid-brown against the near-black face, and the punched holes are slightly elongated ovals that expose the lighter core.
Wear it at the waist with denim, chinos, or heavier trousers, where the firm hand of the leather holds its shape. The 1.6 in (4 cm) width sits about like a coin held flat across the strap, steady and structured, pairing easily with plain leather shoes or a brass-accented watch.

A closer look
This belt is built from English JF harness leather, a first-layer (top-grain) cowhide described as a tea-core leather, meaning the deep chocolate surface pigment sits over a lighter natural core that reveals itself along cut edges and at wear points. The leather is noted for its high oil and grease content and a dense, tight fiber structure, giving the strap a firm hand and a smooth, low-sheen surface with a subtle waxy lustre rather than a high-gloss finish. Because the hide is used without corrective surface buffing, the grain remains fully natural: faint hair-cell texture, occasional surface scratches, healed range marks and minor blemishes are inherent to the material and appear across the strap. Color is available in black, wine red, and deep chocolate, with the deep chocolate reading as an extremely dark brown that is nearly indistinguishable from black until it is seen beside a true black or viewed at its burnished edges, where a warm reddish-brown tone emerges.
The strap measures 40 mm in width and is cut as a single substantial slab of leather with clean, straight longitudinal edges and a uniform thickness throughout its length. A close edge view shows the characteristic tea-core construction clearly: the two cut sides are finished to a smooth, rounded, burnished profile in a warm mid-brown shade that contrasts against the near-black face, confirming the lighter interior beneath the dark surface dye. The strap is a plain, unstitched design with no keeper loop and no perimeter stitching, relying entirely on the thickness and density of the leather for structure. It carries a series of adjustment holes punched cleanly along the centerline, spaced at regular intervals; the holes are slightly elongated ovals rather than perfect circles, with crisp punched walls that expose the lighter brown core inside each perforation.
The buckle is an FC Generation 5 solid brass frame buckle, a square "letter-frame" roller-free style measuring 40 mm across to match the strap width exactly. Its finish is an antiqued or brushed brass with a muted, warm yellow-gold tone, showing fine directional brush striations across the flat faces and darker recessed shading along the inner frame and bevels, giving it a softened, aged appearance rather than a bright mirror polish. The frame is thick and squared-off, with crisply machined, slightly chamfered outer edges that catch light as bright highlight lines. The tongue is a substantial curved bar with a flattened, angled tip that rests against the front frame bar, its surface brushed to match the frame with visible wear brightening on the bend.
Attachment is made by a Generation 3 screw-fixed system rather than stitching or permanent riveting. The leather fold that wraps around the buckle's rear bar is secured with two brass slotted screws, whose domed, concentric-ringed heads sit flush against the leather on the front face; the slotted heads and their matching brass posts are visible, allowing the buckle to be
