Leather for belts
Firm, durable leathers for belts, straps and harness work.
A good belt needs firm, dense leather that does not stretch. Post Deri supplies vegetable-tanned sole leather (3.5–5.5 mm) and insole leather (1.8–3.0 mm) that cut cleanly and burnish at the edge, together with crazy horse and box calf for the visible face of bonded belts.
For belt linings and backings we offer lining-upper leather in assorted colours. Vegetable-tanned leathers develop a rich patina with use, which buyers of premium belts value. All leathers are available from a single roll or bend and ship from Istanbul.
