1.5" Tärnsjö Quick Release Belt

Tärnsjö Garveri is among the remaining 5% of tanneries in the world that still employ the traditional vegetable tanning process that utilizes only natural bark extracts, water and water based dyes. The result is a gorgeous leather that is kinder to the environment, and that is a pure joy to hold and behold.

This leather weighs in at a modest, yet durable and extremely comfortable to wear 8-9oz. The dye is semi-aniline, meaning that you can still see the natural and beautiful character of the leather. Tärnsjö possesses a beautiful grain, often with a quality that appears like wavy marbling and tiger striping.

Available in brown, dark brown, red and green. Any of these colors are going to darken with use as they develop a patina that you would expect from a natural vegetable tanned leather. Pair with my Patented Double Prong Quick Release Buckle, or the original single prong quick release buckle that has been around for 200+ years. The manufacturing origin of the hardware is listed next to the buckle style- JP meaning Japan, and ENG for England. The Japanese hardware is of a higher quality than the English made hardware, with slightly thicker elements and an overall higher quality finishing. The Japanese hardware also comes with my signature pigeon stamped keeper.

All quick release belts are made with teardrop holes, which besides the aesthetic difference, will allow the buckle to lie slightly more flat than a round hole, due to the oblong shape of the hole. Hardware will be secured with Pigeon Tree branded rivets for the brass and copper hardware options, while black nickel will be stitched with tonal thread, and nickel will be secured with nickel Chicago screws.

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.

All belts unless otherwise stated are Made to Order. You can always find my MTO queue time in my website banner.
