The Portland Shipyard belt, a custom sized belt made using a special Harness leather from J&FJ Baker & Co. This leather is an oak bark tanned leather tanned in pits filled with chunks of oak bark. Its a full grain leather, dipped in a vat of mutton tallow to add strength and then heavily greased to keep it flexible. The buckle is a solid brass buckle that has been sand cast at a traditional brass foundry in England. The buckle is available in three finishes: Natural Brass, Copper Plated Brass, and  finished in Antique Brass or Matte Nickel, attached with two hand peened solid copper rivets. The edges are unburnished to give it a more rugged vibe but this leather is so stuffed the edges will burnish on their own through regular use.
