Why do belt sizes stop at 130cm? How do I order for a larger size?

We offer belt sizes between 70cm and 130cm. This measurement corresponds to the waist circumference and not to the total length of the belt.

However, within the limit of our stocks of cowhides, we can, in certain cases, manufacture belts with a size greater than 130cm (also possible for a size smaller than 70cm).

In these two cases, do contact our customer service by email at info@ceinturier.com or call us at +339 52 711 611.

What if I don't want to receive a box when ordering?

Good initiative! At LE CEINTURIER we work actively on environmentalism and it is important to us to use less packaging.

Many of our customers appreciate the boxes and the packaging of Le Ceinturier, for others, more sensitive on this point like you, it is too much.

We try in all cases to avoid unnecessary packaging and to use smaller cardboard boxes.

Where are LE CEINTURIER products made?

At LE CEINTURIER, all our leather products are entirely manufactured in our own workshop located on the French Atlantic coast in Vendée, in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.

From the skins tanned and pigmented in our partner tanneries specializing in vegetable tanning (all the processes of which we control and master: colors, strength, touch, etc.) to the making of the products, all the manufacturing stages of LE CEINTURIER products are Made in France.

Made in France is the guarantee of traditional craftsmanship, a preserved heritage and products of the best quality.

Where does the leather used by LE CEINTURIER come from?

Our skins come from the best French tanneries for the most part, but also from high-end Spanish and Italian tanneries to allow for a wider choice of finishes.

We exclusively use vegetable-tanned full-grain cowhide leather (without chromium salts) to manufacture our collection of LE CEINTURIER belts.

What is tanning?

Tanning is a succession of very precise operations which consist in transforming a skin into rot-proof leather.

At LE CEINTURIER, we have made the choice for our belts to be made with skins resulting from first-rate vegetable tanning only, a process that is more respectful of the environment.

What is vegetable tanned leather?

Vegetable tanning is the most environmentally-friendly tanning method. However, it is longer to produce than chrome tanning which is chemical.

The tannins are organic and used in the form of powders mixed with the skins with clear water in huge wooden drums (also called fullers). Tannins come from plants (bark, leaves, sap) such as oak, mimosa, rhubarb, spruce, chestnut, among others.

Vegetable-tanned leather is fully recyclable and contains no toxic substances. It is for these reasons that, at LE CEINTURIER, we have turned to this natural tanning technique.

What is full-grain leather?

Full-grain leather is leather that has retained all of its original grain. The surface was therefore not sanded. The leather has retained the natural grain and all the characteristics of the skin: suppleness, hold and resistance.

Our leathers for the manufacture of our belts have undergone deep pigmentation (dipped leather) as opposed to the very widespread surface coloring techniques by spray: this gives them unequaled durability over time.

At LE CEINTURIER, you are guaranteed to have a belt that will never tear or crack (even at the holes). On the contrary, the leather will develop a nice patina over time instead of losing its color.

Which belt width to choose?

At LE CEINTURIER, you can choose from our 4 belt widths:

4.0: With a leather width of 39mm, this is the everyday belt. Classic, Man or Woman, this belt is made to be worn with both jeans and trousers. You can also wear it with shorts or chinos. Its width does not allow it to pass through the loops of a suit.

The advantages of this belt: it lies flat in the loops of the trousers, which avoids the discomfort of a belt that goes up in the loops at the back. Because of its width, this belt has a very good hold on the waist, especially if you like to wear your belt tight.

It is the casual look par excellence.

3.5: The most versatile belt! This 34mm wide leather belt is a master key. Both men and women alike choose this versatile width. Neither too thin for jeans (it won't ride up in trouser loops), nor too wide for suits (it fits in the vast majority of suit loops or pleated trousers). Highly appreciated by businessmen and globetrotters, its ultra versatile style will allow you to have a belt for work and for travelling!

3.0: More select and, depending on its loop, possibly more discreet as well. This belt width with its 29mm leather is a belt with a more elegant touch because of its thinness. Very appreciated by women but also by men, you can wear it on your most sophisticated outfits such as suits. Wearing it in jeans is possible, but depending on the morphologies the belt will tend to ride up at the top of the trouser loops. You need a belt for a wedding, an occasion or for a light style, this is the belt for you.

2.5: The thinnest width with its 24mm wide leather is the belt for women who want a very discreet belt. Men also sometimes let themselves be tempted by this width, but you have to bear in mind that it is a belt that will remain very thin on the waist and in the trouser loops. Often worn on skirts or dresses, this belt will hit its mark to the highest degree!

How to maintain the leather?

All the leathers used in the manufacture of LE CEINTURIER products are tanned in the best possible way, they are perfectly well-nourished with natural oils during the tanning process.

If you want to help extend the longevity of your items purchased from LE CEINTURIER, we offer a new range of leather care products made primarily from raw materials of natural origin and entirely manufactured in France by a family business.

Find all our products and application tips in ACCESSORIES.

Will my belt look exactly like the picture?

The natural character of leather means that no two skins are identical (veining, grain, etc.). therefore, no two LE CEINTURIER belts will be identical.

The photos of products visible on our LE CEINTURIER website must be used for information purposes only, and not as an exact representation. Minimal differences are to be expected in the manufacture of each product, small variations are indeed inherent to the artisanal manufacturing process of LE CEINTURIER.

The manufacture of the products piece by piece guarantees very particular attention to detail and therefore the assurance of high quality for each belt or product leaving our LE CEINTURIER workshop.

Do you offer the possibility of having a custom size?

If your size does not appear in the choice we offer for the products available in the current LE CEINTURIER collection, do contact our customer service at info@ceinturier.com. We will do what is necessary to answer you as soon as possible and to make the article to the desired size if possible.

What is the size of the belt buckle?

Find all the dimensions of each belt buckle on the corresponding product page under the MEASUREMENTS tab located next to DESCRIPTION and FEATURES of the product.

What are your belt buckles made of?

LE CEINTURIER is also the guarantee of having a belt buckle that matches the quality of the leather. A belt buckle that won't break even after tough adventures! Made from the best materials such as solid brass or an ultra-resistant alloy (composed of Zinc, Aluminum, Magnesium and Copper for its soft and non-brittle characteristics), all LE CEINTURIER buckles are designed to withstand heavy loads in order to have a maximum lifespan.

We have certificates from our various partners responsible for the manufacture of LE CEINTURIER belt buckles, guaranteeing levels (traces) of nickel very well below the thresholds in force.

Our solid brass or nickel-free buckles (devoid of nickel) are perfect for people allergic to nickel.
