A speciality belt - for leather enthusiasts 

This Oak Bark leather belt is handmade in Sydney, Australia using leather tanned purely in Oak Bark, from the J.&F.J. Baker tannery in Britain. This specialist tannery is the only remaining traditional oak bark tannery in Britain. 

At 32mm wide this belt is the perfect width for everyday or formal occasions, paired with an antique solid brass buckle and keeper - We believe that this belt is one of the finest belts available in Australia.

This is a waxy leather (which is buffed into the belt before its sent out) with an unmistakable aroma of oak. 

Very durable and has traditionally been used for saddles and harness in the upmarket UK Equestrian trade. 

Guaranteed for 7 years of daily use!


More on the Tannery:
J & F J Baker have been Oak Bark tanning since 1862 at a tannery that dates back to Roman times. Generations of knowledge have perfected our process to produce beautiful, hardwearing and unique leather with superior tensile strength. Using all natural, locally, and sustainably sourced materials each piece of leather takes over a year to produce and many hours of labour intensive work. 
Please note that these leathers are all hand dyed on the top side of the leather (not dyed in large drums as typical) - as a result, there may be dye marks on the flesh side (inside) of the belt. This is not seen as a defect and serves to accentuate the nature of the completely handmade process of this leather.

Customer photo review of The Oak Bark Belt

Got this belt to match a pair of Kudu leather boots. As soon as I opened the box you can smell the oak tanning. It smell fantastic. Quality is great. Can’t wait to get some patina on the belt

Already had an everyday belt which I loved and saw The Oak Bark Belt which sounded like something special. As usual, quality is outstanding, looks great and feels special. Definitely will purchase more products from Anvil as they are a pleasure to deal with.

I have 2 everyday belts myself so I purchased 1 Oak Bark belt for my father and 1 everyday belt for my brother. Why you ask?... simple you will not find a better belt than those made by Aaron from Anvil Hide.

Excellent belt. Can’t fault it at all. Comfortable from the first wear and obviously very well made so looks great. I wanted to call all of my friends and recommend they get one straight away. I didn’t want them to miss out. I decided they might think that was s little strange but at least I can tell you. Cheers

I've been looking for a 'forever' belt for more than 2 years now, without much luck. Stumbled upon this and it's exactly what I had in mind. Aaron was incredibly responsive and helpful and the outcome was flawless. Couldn't be more impressed.

The Oak Bark Belt

Belt was exactly as described. really incredible quality, thick full grain leather and brass hardware, no obnoxious branding or anything of the like. it’s not overstated but the quality is amazing. i bought it because i was sick of genuine leather belts that peel and crack and look cheap. got exactly what i paid for and im certain i will be keeping this belt for a long while

Highest quality material and craftsmanship

The Oak Bark Belt

Probably my 8th order from Anvil Hyde. I like the solid state gravitas and robustness of the belt which is a direct opposite of Asian made "fast fashion". Built to last and gives superior support to the trousers. Made and designed the "old way". This is the sort of belt that was available in your grandfather's day. Shall most likely last until the 2nd coming of Christ.

Bought this belt for my son as it sounded quite unique being tanned in oak in the UK. He loves it. I previously bought the unbreakable belt for myself, which I’m sure will outlast me
