I'm lucky enough to have had another belt made for me by the leather belt guru, Tim Hardy of The Worcestershire Leather Company. Longer term readers may recall my last one here, which continues to get better with age (as do all men, and anything else made of quality leather).

| The Worcestershire Bruton bridle leather and webbing belt - made in England |
This belt is entirely handmade and sewn from English bridle leather (it even had that lovely waxy bloom when it was brand new) in sixteen or more separate processes. The British-made heavy cotton webbing make it ideal as a spring/summer belt. Naturally it is completed by an English solid brass buckle (or nickel plated brass if you prefer a silver finish). This is a belt for life.
It comes in a choice of 11 leather colours and 5 webbing colours and can be ordered in different widths. Give Tim your size and it will come made to measure. This, as you would expect, is a seriously high quality British belt. See The Worcestershire Leather Company for more information and to buy.
Very nice. Something less formal than even a decorative all-leather belt. Curious about the colour selection and the use of "khaki" - in Oz, we use it for something resembling Olive drab, rather than Bone, as depicted here (which is isn't dissimiliar to the sage).

Thanks Tony, I did a little research, as far as I can see this light tan was the original khaki, derived from the Urdu word for soil coloured. I agree the word seems to also include the darker greens and brown of military uniforms, but maybe that's a modern extension of the use of the word.
