Thank you for stopping by my Etsy shop, the home for Moxie and Oliver's internet shop. Though in name we are two, it's just me, Caitlin, here making, selling, answering convos, and writing my shop policies. I've been making leather goods since I was a wee child, but began doing it as more than a hobby in 2005. I realized that I needed a black belt, and couldn't find one that I liked. So, I made one myself. Then, a few violations of the dress-code later, I began making fashionable accessories that were unique, timeless, and fully office-appropriate. There's no reason that your accessories can't be interesting, even if your apparel can't be. Since I started Moxie and Oliver, I've worked on refining my techniques and designs. Where my work is rooted in traditional leather techniques, it's taken a very modern twist and direction. I use the same durable full-grain tooling hides that traditional leather crafters do, but give them my own unique spin. Most of my items are lovingly made-to-order, and since each one is individually handmade, no two are exactly the same. I hope you enjoy my work, and if you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask.

SIZING

Anything in my shop that comes in sizes will be made to order (this mostly includes belts and watches) and the very best way to get the very best fit is to provide me with your exact measurement when ordering, or shortly thereafter.

WATCH MEASUREMENTS: I need your tight wrist measurement, so please make sure that whatever method you use, it's snug, and don't add anything to it (please!!). The best method is to use a cloth tape measure, like a seamstress would use. If you cannot find one, the next best thing is to grab a friend and a strip of paper and a ruler. Wrap the paper tightly around your wrist, and mark where the paper meets. Measure this distance, and that should be your tight wrist measurement.

BELT MEASUREMENTS: You can measure your hips/waist with a cloth tape measure where you wear your jeans. That's the best way, or you can measure a belt (using a tape measure, or cloth tape measure) from the end of the belt to the hole you currently use. This is not such an exact science, because there are seven holes in the belts, spaced 1" apart. I will put your measurement on the middle hole, so if you've made a mistake in measuring, there are still six other holes to choose from.

If you're buying a belt for a gift, or have no tape measures, you can choose from standard sizes (below) or contact me with the recipient's pant size:

XS: Smallest hole at 27", largest at 33"
S: Smallest hole at 29", largest at 35"
M: Smallest hole at 31", largest at 37"
L: Smallest hole at 33", largest at 39"
XL: Smallest hole at 35", largest at 41"

Smaller and larger sizes also available.
