Lead Times & Policy

Lead Time

Current ESTIMATED lead time to ship on new orders is back down to 3 to 4 weeks! YAY!

Lead time to ship is an ESTIMATE and your order may be completed and shipped weeks in advance or after this ESTIMATE.
Your method of payment will be charged at the time of your order. This secures your order and materials.
HOLIDAY ORDERS: October through January are always my busiest months. Lead times are almost certain to extend during this time. To receive an order in time for Christmas, please place your order NO LATER THAN October 1st and I will try my best to get it shipped in time to deliver by Christmas. Alternatively, a Mason Leather gift card is a great holiday gift that gets delivered immediately by email.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your order for any reason, please email me at lee@masonleather.com as soon as possible. If I have not yet started work on your order I will cancel and refund your order no questions asked. If your order is already in work I will not be able to cancel it.

Mason Leather belts are hand-cut from the finest American tanned English bridle leathers, tanned at the famous Chahin tannery. Starting with an entire side of leather (half a steer), I cut a straight edge down one side as a guide, then feed the side through my hand-crank strap cutter adjusted to cut 1.5 inch thick straps. From there, I inspect each strap and scrap any that have structural imperfections. Then, I cut the tips using a custom cutting die I designed and had made right here in the USA. The die precision cuts the classic English point tip and the seven adjustment holes, each exactly 1 inch apart. After you order I select a strap for your belt, measure, mark and cut to your belt size by punching the buckle-end with another Mason Leather-designed die. The length is cut so that your size has you buckling to one of the center-most holes, that way you have several inches adjustment tighter or looser. Lastly, I skive down the buckle end to be slightly thinner to reduce bulk and install your solid antique brass buckle using matching solid antique brass Chicago screws. From my shop to your waist, each belt is handmade just for you.
