A bit about Equus Leather- Equus Leather is a brand that manufactures traditional, handmade leather goods. The brand is run by Charlie & Dawn Trevor in the heart of England. The owners have been producing leather and bridlework since 1995. Their products are sold all over the world, from Europe and the US to the Middle and Far East and Australia. What is unique about the brand is that all of their belts, watch straps and accessories are handmade and bespoke- the belts take days to make, and you can customise all the little details on the belt, including the stitching colour, style and leather type.
Equus Leather only uses the best quality leather and materials, so all of their products are extremely luxurious and beautifully finished. It's rare to see brands that make their leather items with as much detail, planning and care as Equus Leather. Most of the belts on the market these days are low-cost, factory-made ones which lack precision, detail and style. This brand, however, does not buy any finished good, so all of their products are made from scratch with the highest level of attention.
I'm going to talk about the Pinewood Bridle Leather Belt that I got in the mail recently. I chose this style for my boyfriend because I thought that it was classic, sophisticated and simple- pretty much what a belt should be! A quick note that Equus Leather sells a huge variety of belts, including a large range of buckles, raised belts, lined belts, suede belts and stirling silver belts. They have something for everyone!
As you can see, the belt's design is impeccable and fashionable, for it is made from a beautiful leather in the shade of London Tan. This colour is quite bright and bold, which means that it would be suitable for men who prefer to wear darker-colorer pants. Equus Leather has a variety of leather colors to choose from, but I chose this lovely shade because it adds a pop of colour and style to my man's wardrobe.
In terms of quality, this belt is made from top-notch English bridle leather tanned by JE Sedgwick, one of the best tanneries in England. All of Equus Leather's Bridle Leather belts are made from only the best - their main supplier of leather and buckles carries a Royal Warrant for supplying the household of Queen Elizabeth II. This means that the quality of the buckle and the leather is extremely high, and the belt is sure to last for years to come. When I held the belt, I felt that it was quite lightweight yet felt sturdy, durable and firm at the same time. It won't weight your pants down, and it looks extremely good with both casual and formal trousers.
As for the details, I love the elegant buckle in the Pinewood Bridle belt. The shape of the buckle is oblong and trendy, but has a little curve to follow the line of the leather around your waist. Equus Leather manufactured the buckle using solid brass with a high-quality finish - which can be customized to everyone's own taste. You can actually choose the buckle's colour and finish on their website!
In terms of the fit, the belt is designed to fit the receiver's particular waist size, so the team was really helpful in terms of emailing me to ask for the right size. I chose to make this belt according to a standard 32-inch waist size, which fits my boyfriend best. I love the fact that each of the belt holes are punctured by hand, which adds an extra touch as you know you're purchasing a belt that has been carefully made by a human, not a machine! Some of their belt styles also allows you to customise the belt width, which would be useful if your man needs a thinner belt for formal occasions, or a thicker belt for casual usage.
In terms of style, I paired the belt with a pair of navy chinos for a casual, put together look. This belt matches the pants perfectly, as the colors go really well together. I also love the little blue stitching along the front of the belt, which gives the belt an extra stylish edge. No other person will have this belt, and all of Equus Leather's designs are unique to their shop. It looks fantastic with trousers, and I'm sure that it would age and patina really well.
Overall, Equus Leather manufactures some of the best-quality belts and leather goods that I've ever seen. Their quality and styles are second-to-none, and if you need a gift idea for you man this year, I'd highly recommend purchasing a belt from Equus Leather. These belts are definitely some of the most luxurious presents that you can get, but they are guaranteed to last for many years to come and will be a worthwhile investment for any man.
