From our hands it passes into the care of the courier. Most orders find their way to homes across India within a week; now and then the roads run slower, and for that we ask only your patience. We write to you the moment your piece begins its journey, with the means to follow it to your door.

Alessandro means protector, and this is a belt built to hold its own standard: an embossed Italian leather with real presence, a solid brass buckle, and stitching worked close to the edge. A dress belt made to be worn for a lifetime.
The Alessandro is a dress belt cut from Italian vegetable tanned embossed leather, worked in a raised, sculptural grain, and lined in Italian vegetable tanned nubuck in a natural honey.
The leather is vegetable tanned in the Italian tradition and then embossed with a deep, patterned grain, so it carries real presence and a bold, sculptural surface in an honest, natural leather. It is finished with feather-edged stitching worked close to the edge, the quiet mark of a belt made with care.
The buckle is imported solid brass, given a high-shine nickel finish, set on a prong platform that sits clean against the leather. It is held by a solid brass Chicago screw, so the buckle can be changed by hand and the belt kept for as long as the leather lasts.
It is lined in Italian vegetable tanned nubuck in a natural honey, soft to the touch and finished to the same standard as the face.
Alessandro means protector, a fitting name for a belt built to hold its standard for years and to be worn every day without complaint. It is guaranteed for the whole of its life. Crafted once, and carried forever.
We stand behind the making of every Alessandro for the whole of its life. Should the stitching, the buckle or the leather ever fail, we repair or restore it. The leather is Italian vegetable tanned and embossed, and it is meant to age, deepening with wear into a patina that belongs to you alone. That is not wear. That is the point.

Service & Care
Complimentary shipping across India. Each piece is dispatched in James Aston packaging.
Should the size require adjustment, exchanges are accommodated within the stated period from delivery, with the belt unworn and in its original condition.
The James Aston Lifetime Warranty covers any defect in material or craftsmanship, unconditionally and without expiry. A belt made once, to be carried for a lifetime.
Keep your belt clean and well conditioned. Wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth to lift dust, and from time to time work in a little neutral leather conditioner to feed the leather and protect its surface. Keep it dry, store it with room to breathe, and away from prolonged damp and direct heat. Cared for in this way, the vegetable tanned leather deepens into a patina that becomes, over the years, unmistakably your own.
A GiftEvery piece arrives boxed in the House manner, ready to be given. A gift note can be enclosed on request.
