This is the 17th release in my "numbered limited edition" series. J&FJ oak bark tanned leathers are always a hit, there's just something about the traditional tanning methods that J&FJ Baker uses with their bridle leathers. You can smell the oak tannins that are used in the tanning of this leather!

This is a very cool leather, unlike anything else I've ever released. Ruggedly embossed with a Russian crosshatch grain pattern, this is easily one of the most unique leathers I've ever offered. Weighing in with an average thickness of ~13oz, this is a relatively substantial leather, but it's not stiff! You'll find that despite its thickness, it is comfortable right off the bat. 

There is a heavy coat of wax that will wear relatively quickly, if you'd like to speed up the process, a soft rag and some elbow grease will remove most of it. I've added a pic of what the leather looks like without the wax to give you a better idea of the color, which is referred to as an oak stain, but I would describe as a mid acorn brown.

Paired with my 1.5" Made in Japan Patented Double Prong Quick Release Buckle and matching pigeon stamped keeper in nickel plated brass which is secured with my signature double-row hand saddle-stitch method which I reserve exclusively for these numbered limited editions. If you want a single prong nickel QR buckle, just add the request to your sizing note, there is no difference in price.

This belt release is limited to just 15 numbered pieces. As with previous limited releases, this belt is likely to sell out quickly and it will never be offered again.

As with all belts that I currently make, this belt is guaranteed for life.

This belt is Made to Order and will be delivered within the timeframe of the backlog estimate posted in my website banner. Currently 4-8 weeks.

Please follow the detailed sizing instructions here. It is normal for the measurement to be several inches larger than your waist or tagged jean size. If you have any doubts, please reach out to me with any questions.

Handmade in Savannah by one person.
