For more information email: welcome@evancliffeleather.co.uk
Belt Length:
You will need to know what size to make your belt. If it’s for you, that is easily solved by bringing along a belt you already wear and which you know the hole you are using. If it’s for someone else, you can bring a belt they wear or, you can measure it before you come. We can provide a diagram of how to measure a belt on request.
(Please note that the overall length of a belt can potentially be limited by the leather we have in stock. While we endeavour to have leather available to make reasonable lengths, it is not always possible to guarantee that we can supply leather to make all lengths.)
