Matching Additional Leather Belt Loops / Keepers

Select Colour and Belt / Bag Strap Width the Loop (also known as a Keeper) is intended to fit.

Sizes are in millimeters (rounded to nearest 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 inch).

Once we receive your order we will make a loop to fit the Belt Width / Bag Strap Width you have selected. i.e. If you select '40mm' we will make a loop to fit a 40mm wide Belt or Bag Strap.

We allow for two strap layers - Please see further down the page for more details on the strap thicknesses we allow for.

Made in UK by Belt Designs.

N.B. These loops are made to slide onto an existing belt or bag strap etc.

The leather loops do not unclip – i.e. the two ends are joined by a fixed rivet.

If you require a loop / keeper that unclips we sell these via the following link:

We also sell Stitched Edge Leather Loops with a fixed rivet on a separate listing. If you require stitched edges please see link below:

Instructions:
-----------------

Measure the width of your belt and select the desired ‘Colour’ and ‘Belt Width’ from sizes offered on the drop down list.

The 'Belt Width' Size is shown in Millimeters with an Inch conversion shown in brackets. (THESE CONVERSIONS HAVE ALSO BEEN LISTED BELOW - SCROLL DOWN TO VIEW THESE)

We will then make a loop with a circumference that will accommodate the width of the belt you have selected.

N.B. The sizes we provide are not the diameter of the loop.

Loop diameters are always wider than the belt width as they must be able to slide over two layers of the belt and must also accommodate the width of the belt or strap it is intended for.

---------

SIZE CONVERSION Millimeters To Inches.

We use Millimeters to describe belt / strap widths but if you require the size in Inches then we have given a rounded approximation on the drop down box and below to help you visualize the sizes we use.

Millimeters To Inches (rounded to nearest 1/16, 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 inch):

10mm = 3/8 inch
12mm = 1/2 inch
15mm = 5/8 inch
20mm = 3/4 inch
22mm = 7/8 inch
25mm = 1 inch
28mm = 1 1/8 inch
30mm = 1 3/16 inch
32mm = 1 1/4 inch
35mm = 1 3/8 inch
38mm = 1 1/2 inch
40mm = 1 9/16 inch
45mm = 1 3/4 inch
50mm = 2 inch
55mm = 2 3/16 inch
60mm = 2 3/8 inch

Dimensions we use to make our loops
----------------------------------------------------
1.LOOPS/ KEEPERS Made for Belts and Straps OVER 28mm (1 1/8") Wide:

Loops made for belt and bags straps that are 28mm (1 1/8") wide and over are made to accommodate two layers of leather that are approximately 3.5 - 4mm thick for each layer i.e. a maximum of approximately 8mm ( 5/16" ) thick for two layers.

2.LOOPS/ KEEPERS Made for Belts and Straps UNDER 28mm (1 1/8") Wide:

Loops made for belt and bags straps that are under 28mm (1 1/8") wide are made to accommodate two layers of leather that are approximately 3 mm (1/8") thick for each layer i.e. a total of approximately 6mm (1/4") thick for two layers.

---

We use the above measurements as we have found them to be the average size for most belts and bag straps.

If your belt or strap differs to the average measurements we use to make our loops or you need the loop to accommodate more or less than two layers then you may need to size up or down to allow for this difference.

Alternatively please contact us if you require a custom size and we can provide a price for this service.

N.B. Customized products are non-returnable as they are made to your specification and cannot be resold as a standard product.

---------------------

The width of the leather strips that we use to form the loops are as follows:

Loops made to fit belts that are 10mm (3/8") - 25mm (1") Wide - The Leather strips that we use to form the loops are 10mm (3/8") wide.
Loops made to fit belts that are 28mm (1 1/8") -35mm (1 3/8") Wide - The Leather strips that we use to form the loops are 12mm (1/2") wide.
Loops made to fit belts that are 38mm (1 1/2") Wide and above - The Leather strips that we use to form the loops are 16mm (5/8") wide.

i.e. The strips of leather are formed into loops and will accommodate the width of the belt selected from the drop down list. i.e. If you select 30mm (1 3/16") we will make a loop to fit a 30mm (1 3/16") wide belt and the strip of leather used to make this loop will be 12mm (1/2") wide.

Belt Loop Colours: Black, Brown, Dark Brown, Tan, Light Tan, Navy Blue, White, Green, Burgundy, Natural, Natural Aged and Red

This leather is tanned using only natural plant extracts which are not harmful to mankind and the environment.

It is long lasting and will develop a patina with age.

By wearing products made with vegetable tanned leathers you can feel good about contributing to a cleaner and safer environment.

Its by-products are also easily recycled.

Handy Tip:

If you require an additional leather belt loop to be positioned someway around your waist when wearing trousers then the following is the best way to achieve this:

Hold the leather loop in position against your trousers waist band where you intend to use it. Slide the belt through the first trouser loop(s) and then the additional leather loop whilst holding it in position against your trousers and then through the remaining 'trouser loops' . You will then find that you do not need to pass the free sliding leather loop through the restricted area of the 'trouser loops' as it will already be in the correct position on your waistband.

------


N.B. If you would like an additional loop that should match a Belt Designs belt then please add a note to your order.

If buying at the same time as the belt its intended for then please state to match belt purchased.

Or if for a previous belt purchased from Belt Designs then please include the SKU code of your belt or the page link / URL.

We will then make sure to send the correct matching style.

Ideal to hold belt tip in place.

Or to add additional loops to a belt to change the design.

Mix and match colours depending on the colour of your clothes.

A great way to redesign the look of an outfit.
