I have two great offers on Australian made leather belts (imported buckles & rivets).

We are making these belts in our factory in Dingley Village, Vic. Using leather sourced from three of Australia's last tanning companies.

We have changed the design from the belts offered in the past.
We no longer use a separate retainer for the buckle. Instead the belt is a single long strap of leather that loops around the buckle.

I have two different full grain leather finishes available:
semi analine [SKU: 205]
This is pretty much the same leather from car seats, except it has not been skived down so it remains at a full 3.5mm thickness.

Oil pull-up [SKU: 121 & 122]
These are vegetable oil infused leather belts. NO AZO + NO CHROMIUM for those who may be sensitive to common tanning chemicals
These are known as hunter leather belts, they are supposed to show signs of wear and scratches.

Both belts are 39mm wide and have removable buckles. Measurements are taken to the middle hole.

I've made taking advantage of these offers as easy as possible. All you need to do is add the products you want to the cart and the cart will automatically apply discounts depending on the quantity.

Free shipping Australia wide
International shipping is calculated at checkout.

Thanks!

    What is the normal price?

    Edit - seems like they are normally $60 each? and when discounted would usually be $19 each (meaning $38 for 2). Might want to add what the discount is into your title

    • Associatedclosethedeal @ Close The Deal on 01/03/2018 - 10:42

      Normally $24 each

    • Associatedclosethedeal @ Close The Deal on 01/03/2018 - 10:56

      Buckles are an alloy metal.
      I dont have a composition available right now but i will ask the supplier for one and get back to you shortly.

      • TimeOrMoney on 01/03/2018 - 13:25

        Can you find out whether there's any nickel in the buckle?

    • AlexF on 01/03/2018 - 11:04

      Avoid zinc alloys as they’re brittle and hence short practical life.

  • mrshorty on 01/03/2018 - 12:28

    Might be a silly question but how is the size measured? ie if I choose a size 32 for example, is it measured so the buckle would hit one of the middle hole or one of the end holes?

      Thinner belts are in the pipeline.
      I'm waiting for some buckle samples to arrive then ill be ready to start cutting straps.
      they will be 32mm width

      I have a few 32mm straps now, but they were test runs and didnt turn out as good as i wanted.

      I will run a sale on them soon to clear them out.

    getting error "PayPal Express Checkout Token does not exist."

  • SteveAndBelle on 01/03/2018 - 12:45

    I wonder how many belts you get from one cow… and can you get good enough lengths/grades of leather from a Kangaroo or other common Aussie roadkill? Serious questions BTW.

    • macrocephalic on 01/03/2018 - 14:30

      Kangaroo leather is very good, it's very strong and light, it's commonly used in racing protection gear.

    The worst thing about intermittent website failures is when you're being returned to the site from paypal and you get an error. Gotta figure out did the transaction go through or not?

    Just an FYI, my experience with these from this deal - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/265355 was not the best. They stained my pants and the buckles fell apart after a couple of months of regular use from memory. They may have changed them from then or your experience may vary.

    • bigrizz on 01/03/2018 - 15:05

      Did you buy the full grain or the Hunter leather versions? Interested to know if both types exhibit the staining of pants.

      • devilious on 01/03/2018 - 15:15

        I bought both brown and black full grain leather belts.

    • Mr BoMBAStiG on 01/03/2018 - 21:56

      Yep, I still stand by my comments in that post: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/265355#comment-3993271

      I still have the belt in question as a backup for when I leave my good ones away from home. It continues to stain light coloured pants/shorts and disintegrate further.

      Please read my comments and look at the images I posted of the belts being sold here after regular use. Yes they are cheap, yes the op is a skilled marketer, yes the belts look high quality and great when they arrive in the mail, but you are really getting what you paid for here.

      Until I see evidence of these belts actually being full grain I will neg as I have had a bad experience with the company.

  • Gordon84 on 01/03/2018 - 14:20

  • macrocephalic on 01/03/2018 - 14:29

    I have a few belts made by Leather Craft Australia. They are all excellent quality. The stock buckles that come on them are pretty cheap and ugly, but you can change them easily.

    • BlueMM on 03/03/2018 - 10:11

      Where abouts do you find replacement buckles?
      I've got multiple leather belts where the pin on the buckle is stuffed, would be good to not throw thrm out if I can replace the buckle…

      • macrocephalic on 05/03/2018 - 07:57
        +1

        Many of them I have simply salvaged off other belts which have come to the end of their life. Otherwise, I have bought some off ebay. This one is my favourite, although it's not cheap: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Titanium-Ti-Belt-Buckle-Belt-Fas… If you're not set on titanium then you can find something similar in stainless steel for a fraction of the price.

  • oscargamer on 01/03/2018 - 14:45

    Do you have any photos of how the buckle fits into the leather. I have a buckle that I have had for decades and usually just get new leather to suit.

  • MementoMori on 01/03/2018 - 14:55

    Great price. Usually you'd pay this for an import, and $50 or so for a quality Aussie made one.

        The belts themselves look good, but can you do one with better buckles? I'd like to wear some to work (office job) so need a classy/formal kind of buckle to go with it.

    I have bought a couple of these belts previously. Whilst i really like the belt and quality of leather, the whole removeble buckle thing just means it is attached with a screw that literally continually unscrews itself with wear. A solution to that would be great. Cant believe a belt is sold
    That destroys itself if you wear it.

    • joelmuzz on 01/03/2018 - 21:17
      +1

      Just put threadlock or glue on the screw.

      It is a shame they don't make that effort, but really you are buying it for real leather and should buy a better buckle individually.

    • Associatedclosethedeal @ Close The Deal on 02/03/2018 - 17:13

      We could do press studs. but you wont be able to remove the buckle without drilling them out or getting a cobbler to replace the buckle for you.
      We used to do press studs but we had a lot of request for screws so we changed.
      i need to do a poll on who prefers what.
