The British Belt Company is one such brand (with a name like that, we should have guessed.) Launched in 1946, the company brings together the finest leathers, crafting them with the centuries-old traditions of leather working that have been passed down through generations, to produce timeless leather goods and accessories.

The company, which employs more than 50 craftsmen in its factory in Rutland, also makes braces, bags, and small leather goods. The styling is slick, sharp and clean: team a crisp white shirt with a hand stitched blue Launde belt and some suede loafers for a look that's as classic as it is mannish. Form a queue, ladies.
