Ray Mears Leather Belt - Black

This item is available in the Woodlore shop

Each Ray Mears leather belt is handmade from a single piece of supple, fine quality heavy bridle butt. The belt is cut from the length of the butt, and the leather will become even more supple over time and with use.

The belt comes embossed with the Ray Mears Bushcraft logo, making this product a very special item exclusive to Woodlore. The thickness of the leather makes the Woodlore Belt strong enough to be used as a knife strop or to lash things together whilst the natural beauty of the leather is brought out by the hand burnished edges and traditional crease line.

The heavyweight, solid brass buckle with roller is a type usually found on traditional heavy horse harness. Two leather loops keep the free end of the belt in place; one fixed at the buckle and one free-running.

All of our leather goods are hand-made in England by a craftswoman with over three decades of experience. All leathers are vegetable tanned with full, natural grain, and are hand-dyed in house.

For an insight into Ray's ethos on our leather goods, please view our Leather Goods page.

Various lengths are available, ranging from 40 up to 52 inches.

I have bought plenty of belts before, this one was expensive but is made a lot better than my previous purchases - this is very very well made !

The ultimate gift for the discerning outdoor person. Expertly hand crafted and more a (highly practical) work of art than a product. The label attached with natural twine rather than the usual plastic by most manufacturers. With proper care (which is what it deserves) it will last a lifetime. Highly recommended.

This belt in both brown and black versions is undoubtedly the best of its type (everyday, outdoors, informal) that I have ever come across. High quality, thick leather, strong, well made, highly functional brass buckle. I recommend it unreservedly.

To anyone wanting a quality leather belt then this is the one. My husband has a brown one already, which is a lovely rich colour. As a stocking filler this year I purchased the black version so he can wear on his trousers for work.

I have a brown and now, two black belts. These are the best belts you can (probably) buy. They are very thick which makes them tough and yet they’re pliable and comfortable to wear; the brass buckle and other hardware give this belt a pleasing heft. They fade tastefully with use but I have ‘surface re-dyed’ my black version so I can use it with a suit and it looks great again. I do use saddle-soap/dubbing periodically to keep them in good condition, but my brown version does show some light surface cracking after a decade of daily use. This does not seem to have interfered with it’s integrity, but I will monitor this. All-in-all, a solid, rugged belt that will make you as cool as Mr Mears and I heartily recommend this product. Great service from the supplier too!

Great quality belt. Thick and supple leather. My belt varied from the picture in that It was black on both sides which for me was a bonus. Very fast delivery as always.

This is an excellent item. I have had a brown belt now for a few years, it has settled in and is very much an old friend. I have been wanting a matching black belt for a while. and finally bought one. This product is exceptionally well made, feels and smells wonderful and if looked after will last a lifetime. A brilliant investment, thank you Woodlore.
