The Pioneer Belt
The Pioneer is cut from a single strap of light tan, full-grain veg tan leather with a rich pebbled grain that gives it character from the first wear. Bold against denim and dark trousers, it deepens in colour and moulds to you over time, so it becomes more yours every year.
The leather
Full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather from a British tannery, supplied through Abbey England. Compared with our Tuscany belts, it has a slightly softer temper. The surface is rolled flat during finishing, which keeps the pebbled grain low and even and gives it a more natural, tactile feel under the hand. It is comfortable from day one, and the light tan will darken and burnish where you wear it most.

Sizing
Add 1 to 2 inches to your trouser waist measurement to find your belt size: 1 inch for a closer fit, 2 inches for a more relaxed one. Then choose the range that includes it.
The Pioneer works as well with worn-in denim as it does with tailored trousers. It's understated enough for every day and well made enough to last for decades.
