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.

  • Oil-rich pull-up effect
  • Natural markings visible
  • Develops a vintage patina

Finish: Hand waxed pull-up

Material origin: Tuscany, Italy

The Chester is a classic 40mm belt handmade near its namesake city in our Shropshire workshop.

Full-grain, vegetable-tanned saddle hide is paired with a hand-polished and lacquered solid-brass West End buckle. Its versatile width works particularly well with jeans and can also be worn with smarter trousers.

My wife loves this belt. She had one that is now too small due to successful diet ( I have it now) so I got her a new one. Very smart and excellent quality. Thank you

Customer photo review of Chester - Black

Straight out of the box I was struck by it's quality, stitching is so strong I know I won't have to worry about it failing like so many of my old belts. The smell of good leather hit me straight away too and the thickness of it adds to the feel of quality. Worth every penny I know it will last for years. Thankyou.

I have the Chester Belt in Chestnut and love it so much I had to get the Black version too. It is beautifully made (in England too!) and goes with everything. Thank you for making a product that looks nearly the same after a year of use, and many more to come!

Second belt bought, very well made.

Chester - Black

I’m old and it’s easily the best belt I’ve ever owned.

Chester

I really like this belt however it isn’t perfect as there’s a blemish on one of the side inserts.

Chester

Store owner replied: Hi Jonathan, I'm sorry to hear you weren't 100% happy with your purchase - please send us some photos so we can help determine what has gone wrong here. Our Chesters purposefully use a full grain naturally veg and bark tanned leather, that we choose to show of all the natural growth marks within the leather, rather than a leather than has a falsely applied finish, and is a pull up leather, so areas that bend or fold the top hand waxing of the tanning will show the underneath tanning. Often called "loved leather" - it is designed to create a beautiful patina quickly, giving a lived in character unique to each owner. However, this can be polished easily to look uniform, so we'd be keen to see the issues youve experienced to see if we can help.

Top quality, super service as ever

No contact with the seller; they can't seem to answer the phone, call back, or reply to messages. The belt isn't actually that well-made—not worth the money.

Store owner replied: Hi, I can only presume there must be an issue with your belt that we've missed during in QC, as I've not heard any of our products described as not very made before :( Please reply to this and someone will be in touch tomorrow morning - so we can work out what has happened here and find a way to fix it. I'm wondering if we've missed your calls as we are a small team and our CS manager works part time - but we can't find any messages from you on the system.

Great quality and finish

Chester

Great product.

Chester

All the belts are great. This one was a present to daughter who says it is perfect, literally.

Chester

A gift for my husband. He already has this belt in brown and is very happy with both. Super quality and simply stylish!

Chester - Black

I must accept most of the responsibility for my disappointment as having gained some weight I ordered the 38-40 inch rather than the 36-38 belts previously purchased- I somewhat regret not taking advantage of your Christmas discount offer as I could have obeyed my instincts to purchase a second belt in the smaller size. At present the new belt is too large to be worn until I get around to drilling addition holes for the buckle prong.

Chester - Black

Store owner replied: Hi Roger, we are always happy to exchange your belt, or make them shorter! Please do get in contact. In future we are always happy to assist with sizing, a tape measurement is the safest way.

Absolutely gorgeous belt ! I have my eye on another one Love the colour!

Chester

I bought this for my husband for Christmas, it went down a treat! The personalised aspect makes the belt extra special. Delivery was very speedy and efficient!

Chester

Just one niggle and it’s a personal preference. I am a size 34 waist. If I order a Size 3 and buckle the belt around my waist, the remaining tongue is short. Personally, I’d like the tongue a little longer. For example, if I wore a belt with five holes, I’d want 34 inches at the centre hole. It’s not a criticism, just a preference. The M&G belts are still very high quality.

Chester - Black

Gorgeous belt bought for my son’s Christmas present .

Chester

Beautiful handmade belt, fits true to size. Perfect christmas present.

Chester

Chester

Beautiful belt and beautiful quality, absolutely delighted

Chester

I bought as a present for my partner who has owned a Mackenzie and George belt for ages and it’s always done him well. This belt is beautifully handcrafted, 100% worth the money and we will be returning customers for sure. I am always happy to support small, British businesses.

My brother absolutely loves his Chester belt, personalised with his initials while we waited in the workshop, for his special Birthday. Everyone is so impressed with the quality, it is just perfect and the gorgeous packaging was the icing on the cake. Want one myself now!
