Hardy & Parsons

Hardy & Parsons is a British maker of belts and leather goods, founded in 2002 by Maurice Greig. His aim was to fill a gap at the prestige end of the market for superbly crafted belts and leather accessories. The label describes itself as master saddlers, and the saddlery background shows in the materials. Only English bridle leather is used, paired with solid brass fittings. Each belt is made entirely by hand in the brand's own workshop in the UK, using traditional craftsmanship techniques. It's a focused range rather than a full wardrobe, which suits anyone who wants one well-made belt to wear for years. Look here if you care more about how something is built than about following trends.
