The nap on this one is a deep coffee brown, several shades darker than most suede belts on the market and closer to a bitter chocolate suede chukka than to anything tan. Two details are worth knowing before it arrives. The edges are finished dark and cleanly, so the belt keeps a crisp outline even though the face of it is soft. And the underside is left in the pale natural colour of the leather, which flashes for an inch or two wherever the tail turns back through the keeper.
Dark brown suede is more versatile than it sounds. It works against grey flannel, olive cotton, tweed and mid-blue denim, and it does not fight with brown shoes the way a bright tan belt would. For the same texture in a warmer register, the cognac suede is a lighter, redder brown.
Thirty-five millimetres wide, edge-stitched in a matching brown, one suede keeper, brushed metal pin buckle. A cross-thread screw under the keeper releases the buckle, so the belt can be shortened if it runs long. Sizes S to XL, cut for waists of 28-30, 32-34, 36-38 and 40-42 inches, so order by trouser waist.
John White set up on his own account in Northamptonshire in 1919. He was thirty-five, and had spent around twenty years in the trade, much of it cutting uppers as a clicker before he put his name over a door. The name is designed in Northamptonshire today and made by partner makers.
Care: A suede brush after each wear lifts the pile again, and the fold behind the buckle needs it most, since that is where it flattens first. Apply a suede protector from new. Dry marks come out with a suede eraser; wet ones need the belt left to dry naturally, away from a radiator, before you touch it at all.
