Our Story

TBM (The Belt Makers) have been making handstitched leather belts for high-end customers for a number of years. Their work can be found in such prestigious areas of London as Mayfair and Knightsbridge.

Traditional handtools and skills of the English Saddlery Trade are used to make TBM’s unique belts.

Each Classic belt is individually hand cut, traditionally handstitched at eight stitches per inch and finished entirely by hand, in the Devon workshops of National Award winning craftsmen.

The TBM Sedgwick's Selection, Classic and Custom style belts are made from Sedgwick’s First Grade English Bridle Butt Leather, obtained from the supplier with the Royal Warrant.

There is a selection of buckles and colours to choose from... for that special gift or simply to treat yourself.
