There has never been a better time to buy and support Aussie made products.
Made right here in Melbourne! (excluding buckle)

After a bit of a hiatus, we are back to clear out some older stock of our leather belts.

Straps are cut, clicker pressed and burnished in Springvale with resizing, skiving and buckle assembly finished in our warehouse in Dingley Village. We use leather sourced from a few of Australia's remaining tanneries and now New Zealand too.

We have changed the design from the belts offered in the past.
We no longer use a separate retainer for the buckle. Instead the belt is a single long strap of leather that loops around the buckle.
This has made producing them much easier and faster and has allowed us to keep costs down which we pass on to you.

Leather is a full grain oil pullup
These are vegetable oil infused leather belts. NO AZO + NO CHROMIUM for those who may be sensitive to common tanning chemicals.
These are known as hunter leather belts, they are supposed to show signs of wear and scratches.

We have two widths available 35mm for work pants and 39mm for jeans.
All have removable buckles. Measurements are taken to the middle hole.

I've made taking advantage of these offers as easy as possible. All you need to do is add the products you want to the cart and the cart will automatically apply discounts depending on the quantity.
Do not use the "express checkout" option, this skips the section where the discount is applied.
We use Paypal to process our payments.

We pride ourselves on only tanning leather that is a bi-product of the meat industry.
Free shipping Australia wide
International shipping is calculated at checkout.

Our warehouse reopens on Thursday and we will start to ship orders then.

Thanks!

    39mm seems wide?

      Yeah, that is a wide belt indeed. Check the loops it'll pass through before you buy.
      Also, depending on your stature, it might be uncomfortable when sitting.

          If a belt is $19 it isn’t full grain leather

          • Associatedclosethedeal @ Close The Deal on 17/02/2021 - 15:03

            @piston3461: why dont you buy some belts, take them to any leather specialist (usually a shoe repair store or leather furniture repairer) and if they tell you its not good quality full grain leather, ill refund your order.
            Have a look at the comments, there are people who bought my belts over 2 years ago and they are still going strong with daily use.
            You will be able to see the hair follicle holes, insect bites and other imperfections that are all natural.
            Thickness is around 3.2mm, any more than that and you be wearing the flesh of a cow around your waist :)

    Hi Closethedeal. Thanks for posting.
    Would your size 30s fit someone with size 28 trousers? I'm buying for my groomsmen and these would be perfect.

      Size 30 will have holes from 28 to 32 inches. Send me a PM if we don't have the sizes you need and I can make them to order if you can wait a week.

    I've got 2 of these belts, the distressed tan and hunter brown. The buckles are trash (one snapped), but the leather is decent. IMHO vegetable tanning, is much, much better than chrome tanning, so a big plus in my book.

    They are a touch wide for a professional look with a suit.

    • docians on 16/02/2021 - 22:27

      The buckles are trash (one snapped),
      is it easy to replace?
      where would you find a replacement buckle?

      as per the website

      Leather Craft Australia' belt buckles are attached using quality Chicago screws

  • Yanoflies on 16/02/2021 - 17:41

    I can vouch for the leather, wouldn't buy these sizes myself as they are too wide, but I had a 32mm from a while back that was excellently made (but I haven't worn it much so take that into consideration).

  • AdamFury on 16/02/2021 - 17:50

    Bought these in April 2019. Happy with the quality. Just ordered 3 more. Thanks OP.

  • dryandra on 16/02/2021 - 17:59

    Are the belts made from one piece of leather, or sewn together from 2 pieces ? thanks

    • mattman on 16/02/2021 - 18:27
      +1

      I have one from a deal 2.5 years ago, worn daily, and it's still great. Ordering more but only because I can order smaller this time :-)

      And yes they're weirdly cheap - no complaints here though!

    • ethan961 on 17/02/2021 - 11:26
      +1

      I've used mine every day for work for the last 3+ years and it's held up great. The belt does see some abrasion due to the nature of work and has held up well with only scuffing that you'd expect under those conditions. I would probably eventually wear mine out with this job but if I worked an office job it could easily be a lifetime belt that would stay in great cosmetic condition. It's the real deal, and while I got mine on sale it's worth the full price.

    I have tried various leather creams to try and help it soften up but doesn’t seem to work. Any advice? Did I get two different types of leather even thought they were supposed to be the same?

    • Associatedclosethedeal @ Close The Deal on 17/02/2021 - 10:39

      The more you use it, the softer the leather will get.

  • macrocephalic on 08/03/2021 - 15:12

    These appear to be Leather Craft brand belts. I have used LC belts before and they have been great. In fact I'm wearing one now. The buckles are trash, but it's easy to replace them. Personally I replace them with titanium buckles, but you could just cut the buckle off any belt that you're throwing out.

    Edit: it looks like Close The Deal is the same company as Leather Craft Australia (same address and phone number).

      I've just bought them from ebay. They cost about $40 each at the time, which is expensive, but they're a pretty timeless look and I'll move them from one belt to the next when the leather wears out.
