Create strong, professional-quality leather belts with our 38mm veg tanned full grain belt blanks. Each blank measures approximately 1.2–1.4 metres long and 3.2–3.5mm thick, providing an excellent balance of strength, flexibility and workability.
Made from genuine full grain vegetable tanned leather, these belt blanks retain the leather’s natural grain and character. Vegetable tanned leather is highly regarded by leatherworkers because it can be tooled, stamped, dyed, conditioned, edge-finished and burnished to create a truly personalised belt.
The convenient 38mm width eliminates the need to cut a full hide into straps, saving time and reducing waste. These blanks are ideal for professional leatherworkers, hobbyists, beginners and anyone wanting to make a durable handmade leather belt.

Uses and Applications
These 38mm leather belt blanks are an excellent starting point for making everyday belts, work belts, dress belts, personalised belts and decorative tooled belts. The versatile vegetable tanned surface allows makers to create a variety of finishes using leather dyes, oils, conditioners, stains and antique finishes.
The blanks may also be stamped, carved or embossed with decorative patterns, names, initials or custom logos. Makers can complete their belts by adding a buckle, keeper and Chicago screws, rivets or stitching, depending on their preferred construction method.
The 38mm width accommodates a wide variety of commonly available belt buckles and is suitable for many men’s and women’s belt designs.
Why Choose These Belt Blanks?
Purchasing a pre-cut belt blank saves the time and equipment normally required to cut an accurate strap from a full hide. The consistent 38mm width gives you a clean foundation while still allowing you to shape the tip, prepare the buckle end and finish the edges to your preference.
Full grain vegetable tanned leather is valued for its natural strength and ability to develop character with age and use. Rather than merely assembling a prefabricated belt, you can create a unique item with your preferred buckle, sizing, edge treatment and finish.
Mac-Lace Leather supplies Australian leatherworkers, saddlers, craftspeople and hobbyists with dependable leathercraft materials for projects of all sizes.
