Look no where else, Alison is the best…

Look no where else, Alison is the best when it comes to belt shortening. My belt was shortened by local shoemaker who did a very bad job to three of my belts, but Alison sorted it out and did a great job. I’m happy with all the work done I can now enjoy them thank you very much.

I will highly recommend you to friend and family.

Alison was beyond helpful…

Alison was beyond helpful and nothing was too much trouble! She kept me informed throughout the process and made fantastic suggestions when I had no clue! The belt was a sentimental piece and it was treated with the love it required.
Thank you Alison!!

10/10

I couldn’t be happier with my belt repair. From the moment I reached out and emailed asking if it was possible, Alison’s customer service has been exceptional. She sent me samples to choose from and kept me updated every step of the way.

The quality of her work is outstanding and her passion for her trade speaks for itself. I would absolutely recommend anyone looking for a belt repair or new belt to use Hadston Leather.

Trust was very important to me as it was one of my prized possessions being sent for repair, but Alison exceeded my expectations and I’m so pleased I placed my trust in her.

Thank you so much again Alison.

Alison is amazing

Alison is amazing, so helpful from the start sending me leather samples to match by post, then taking 2 of my leather belts and altering their length, 1 longer, 1 shorter. The quality of her workmanship is spot on, expertly stitched and finished, received both items back perfectly altered as per brief/spec within 1 week. What a great service. Thank you!!!

Andrew L, July 2022

Amazing Service, highly recommend

Alison is brilliant. Extremely helpful with each request, replied very quickly and provided the service on belt shortening incredibly quickly and at a very high standard. Highly recommend Alison’s service.

New Leather Strap

Note from Alison - Tom emailed me his review below so you won’t see it on my Trustpilot page. I put a new strap on his Alexander McQueen belt so he could keep using the A.McQ skull buckle see on my blog post here.

I badly damaged a designer belt, and approached Alison regarding a solution. After some consultation, she sent me two swatches of leather that I could choose from - free of charge - to craft a replacement. This part of the service was a real bonus, and something not many other businesses offer. Once I had sent it off for repair, Alison kept me in the loop regarding the process and it was back in my hands within a week.

The leather used is top quality, and her customer service is flawless. Very impressed with the product and process throughout.

I hope I don't need another repair any time soon - but if I do I know where to go!

Couldn’t be happier

I was looking to invest in a belt and stumbled across Hadston Leather. I thought give it a go and I couldn't have been more satisfied with the experience and the product. I received really good customer care and attention to detail. I love my new belt and take pleasure in wearing it... thanks Alison.

Hadston Leather made a beautiful belt for me and were really helpful and communicative when I asked for help getting it in time for Christmas. Thanks!

Terrific, quality belt. Order with confidence

I chose Hadston Leather for my belt as I was looking for genuine craftsmanship and quality. After emails with Alison I felt assured and I must say I am very impressed with the workmanship and quality of the leather. I will order again.
The hole spacing was distanced at my request, so was in essence bespoke. I noted that repairs were also possible on other goods. A terrific product.

I have my old belt back (Very Happy)

15 years ago for my 40th Birthday I bought an expensive leather belt. I wore my belt virtually everyday for those 15 years. When the buckle pin snapped I was gutted as the item was of significant sentimental value. I kept the belt in a draw and replaced it with a similar belt. But... it was not my old belt. After 6 months I looked on line for leather repairs. I found Alisons Company. I now have my old belt back with a lovely new sturdy buckle and couldn't be more chuffed. Alison, you performed a much valued service for which I am very thankful. I wish you well.

Repair: The leather strap on his Gucci Double G belt had ripped and I replaced it with a bridle leather strap, the same as my Branton range.

Beautiful Card Holder

I ordered a beautiful card holder for my fiance's birthday and when it arrived it totally exceeded my expectations; the quality is beautiful and the packaging was so lovely. Alison was a pleasure to deal with, and she shipped my order super quickly. Thanks again!

Beautiful Leather Belt

I came across Hadston Leather by chance and am so glad I did. I ordered a personalised Branton bridle belt, it was beautifully made, excellent quality and was the perfect gift for my husband. It was a pleasure communicating with Alison who kept me well informed on progress and was just so nice to deal with. I would highly recommend her and she will be my first point of contact should I need any leather products in the future.

Classic Design, Craft Made and Superb Quality

Having had no success finding a suitable belt from the retail sector, I'm so glad I found Hadston Leather, offering classic designs, beautifully crafted from high quality materials, and providing a very friendly and efficient service. The Ancroft, 1 inch wide, veg tan leather belt is perfect for smart casual or dress wear with a suit. The classic, stainless steel buckle is very good quality and stylish without being too ostentatious or heavy. They are made to order so you can get just the right size. My order arrived on time, nicely packaged so would make a good gift. Highly recommended on all counts.

Form and Function!

The combination of the bridle leather and brass buckle make for the perfect belt for denim. Flawlessly constructed and finished I look forward to years of heavy wear and it improving with age as great things do

Simple, Beautiful, Classic

I ordered two bridle leather belts on Monday, they were with me the following Saturday. They are of absolutely stunning quality. The leather is thick, lustrous and flawless, the stitching immaculate and my initials stamped on the inside of the belt near the buckle a lovely subtle touch. Alison kept in touch throughout the process, and could not have been nicer. I simply cannot recommend her products highly enough.

I bought a belt initially and was really impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I then ordered a cardholder and billfold wallet, which were made to an equally high standard. It also means a lot to me to be supporting a local business from a sustainability perspective (less is more, especially when unique and high quality).

The leather belt Hadston Leather made…

The leather belt Hadston Leather made for me is spot on. Alison was really helpful in helping me find a buckle. She had all the information and was patient. Can't think of any reason why I should give less than 5 stars. Will definitely get another belt from Hadston Leather in the future.

Ruben, December 2019

Bought - 1 1/4 inch wide Ancroft Black Leather Belt. Ruben asked about a rounded buckle which I could get in a bright nickel finish.

Exceptional quality and customer service

Alison really went out of her way to produce something very special for me. It is the second belt I’ve purchased from Hadston Leather and I couldn’t be happier. I went directly to Alison to get a custom size and her customer service was exemplary. I have several custom belts but Hadston’s are my favourite.

Quality Belts and Purse Handcrafted

Very lovely and quality belts for both men and ladies. Brilliant customer service that went beyond expectations. We had three belts custom made and we are very impressed. Also had a handmade purse designed and crafted to match one of the belts. Great resource throughout the design process and very creative. Price was well worth the end results. Would recommend to anyone looking for great quality leather goods.

A good belt is hard to find… until now.

I don't know why it should be so hard to find a good quality, well-made belt, but it is. Hadston Leather ticks all the boxes for what I was after. The belt I bought is beautiful in its simplicity, just how a belt should be.

Perfection

Meticulous - perfection to every detail!

Adrienne, November 2018

Bought - 1 1/4 inch Ancroft Dark Brown Leather Belt with a rounded (London Dee) bright nickel buckle (Adrienne preferred a bright nickel buckle which I was able to do)

Brilliant quality for the price! Great stock of accessories.

Hadston Leather helped me source a bespoke belt made to fit my exact specifications. Having scoured shops online and in-stores for a good quality belt, I can fully attest to the value for money one gets here! Great-feeling natural leather, rounded buckles in several tones and a good range of belt widths. Highly recommend!

Exquisite Handcrafted Brown Belt for Men

I brought a brown belt back in June and it was such a great fit that I have not only worn it daily but also have now actually ordered another one in black. The product had a great finish, feel, looks smart and is of a very high quality. Customer interaction and experience was of the highest calibre and I would without hesitation highly recommend this exquisite hand crafted product.
