Any suggestions on who makes a decent quality (and priced) woven leather belt? ~3cm width

I struggled with this, including trying to make my own. I like my Uniqlo one a lot, which was about $40.

If I wanted to get something nicer, I'd reach out to Tightly Stitched on Instagram

thanks, good to know my struggle to quickly find something is expected.

I'm unsure of the width, but you could look at Gazman, as I know they had a woven leather belt in their range.

Also, do you want the whole belt to be woven? Or do you want the buckle area to be solid leather?

If the former, then I'm sure that RM Williams still make their classic woven kangaroo leather belts.

Edited to add:

continuing on woven leather belts… if the RM Williams kangaroo woven belt is your style this seller in Qld looks to do the same product for $150-200 cheaper

How easy have people found it to get a haircut? I’ve one booked for Monday but today saw long lines outside a couple of barbers in Gunners.

I think next lockdown Barbers should be classified as essential service workers.

Belt received and I’m quite satisfied. Though having not previously handled them in person I did forget kangaroo can be quite thin and the leather is definitely on the thin side. Which I think will work quite well used casually - lightweight, no chunkiness - particularly with some shorts

Also I bought from Etsy and they threw in a free slim kangaroo leather wallet.

Pretty good for $80 plus shipping!
