Pull Up Saddle hide

A full-grain pull-up (or loved leather ) richly conditioned with waxes so the colour subtly shifts when the surface is bent, folded or pressed. Natural grain and markings remain visible, it has a shine to it to begin with which becomes matt with wear, and use develops a characterful vintage patina that can be refreshed with polishing.

Badminton *Custom*

Lovely quality belt, perfect fit

Badminton

I love the way you ship your belts! And why not? If they are good enough to purchase, they are good enough to be cared for from manufacturing through shipping! Both the belt and packaging are exceptional!!

Badminton

Beautiful belt. Highest quality and snaffle detail looks really classy.

Badminton

Amazing customer service from M&G. They were super helpful to me when it came to picking out an item, and their adjustment service is an amazing thing to be able to call upon. The belt I purchased is of a fantastic quality, and I loved the monogramming service! I can’t recommend M&G highly enough - I’m a first time purchaser, but will be back!

Badminton

Well made quality product.

This is my second Badminton belt. I never fail to get compliments from my horsey friends. I wear it for riding, work, and pleasure.

Badminton

Another lovely belt from M&G. It looks great with jeans or smart trousers. I’m very pleased with it.

Badminton - Black

A timeless classic belt that can be worn with jeans or on its own with a dress

Badminton

Always great customer service & high quality workmanship. British made excellence.

Badminton *Custom*

Great belt, purchased for wife's birthday, she loved it, had to contact yourselves and the response was quick and positive, thanks

Badminton

Beautiful belt! Stunning quality!

Badminton

This belt is great quality and looks great in both colours. Although I did return the one I brought as a jean belt as I felt the snaffle bit detail was lost when worn with a longer jumper/top. I image it would work better as a waist belt or when top is tucked in.

Badminton - Black

I’ve yet to receive the belt or hear back via email what’s happened to it 😢

Badminton

Very nice, good quality

Badminton

Love my new belt in tan, so good Ill be buying a black one next as it makes any outfit just that little bit extra perfect

Badminton

Bought this for the wife lets just say she was more than happy;-)

Badminton - Black

The belt arrived in its own bag within a lovely presentation box. Such a beautiful warm chestnut tone and the snaffles are perfectly placed. Great quality as usual. To be perfectly honest, I won\'t buy my belts from anywhere else because M&G products are of a consistently high standard. Lovely company to deal with. Now looking to purchase something else. Thanks guys :)

An absolutely beautifully made belt. Looks fantastic with jeans and equally as fantastic with a dress. I have it in chestnut but also want it in black now too!

I purchased this belt at a local county show going on approximately 5-6 years ago. This belt has been literally through everything and has still got plenty of life left, absolutely love this belt

Received this as a Christmas gift last year with my initials on and its beautiful. The detail is lovely and the Chestnut colour is so versatile
