Belt up! Natural undyed full grain oak bark tanned Belt up! Natural undyed full grain oak bark tanned leather. As natural as you can get! No dyes, and tanned by J & F J Baker here in Devon using just oak bark from UK coppices and river water, in a centuries old process. Each handstitched belt will develop uniquely, picking up oils from your hands, deepening in colour, becoming an archive of every time you wear it. #handmadeinuk #handmade #beltup #leatherforever #traditionaldesign #madetolast #jfjbaker #oakbarkleather
