These are the best belts money can buy

These are the best belts money can buy, in my opinion. They look great, with classic understated design, and are built from first class materials and components.

Worth every penny and will last for many, many years with a little occasional TLC.

Thanks again from a repeat customer!

Had an issue with a wallet

Had an issue with a wallet. Wanted Banes & Moore to look at it, this was not entertained. Basically told it was my fault.
Customer service very poor, and unlikely to be resolved. Very disappointing.

Update response:

In response.

You have got this all wrong. Let me explain so that that readers do not get taken in by your long winded prattle.

You have conveniently omitted some facts and timelines.

First. I have never asked you to replace my wallet. All I wanted was for you to take a look at my wallet see if this was normal. You did not oblige, instead asking me for proof of purchase. I did not have this but was able to show you my credit card statement.

Second, I purchased the wallet in Aug 2024, and only started using it in Jan 2025. Fact, you said I returned it to the store a year later, which by my reckoning would be Aug 2025. We are still in June 2025. FYI, that makes it six months before I then wrote to you.

Your claim that the store owner of Uniform Buffalo said that it was caused by “wear and tear”, is simply not true. I asked to store owner to look at the wallet and see if this was normal. The owner was in the process of packing up stock to sell, and was closing the store the following day. If you look at his website you will notice that he is still closed. The store owner told me it was the patina. A patina when used in reference to a leather product is ageing due to frequent use. I do not expect to see a patina after two months, especially since the rest of the wallet is in good condition, as I have acknowledged to you, and has shown no signs of wear. In no circumstances did I as the store owner to replace the wallet. I wanted his opinion. When I contacted you the day after my visit, the store was closed for business. My email to you confirming this is factually correct. You have clearly misunderstood or not understood the timelines. Let me clarify. Email to you; visit to store; store closes the next day; email back to you. Again let me remind you that I did not go there with the express intention to replace the wallet. I went there to purely to get an opinion.

Uniform Buffalo did not mention friction in the pocket caused by the wallet being closed. This is your claim. You also claim that a probable cause could have been from a sticky substance on the wallet in that area, and then folded resulting in the surface being damaged. What a bizarre response. How on earth would I get a sticky substance on the inside on the wallet? And surely I would have noticed when I next opened the wallet.

Your claim that I demand a resolution is not the case. My one and only ask from you was for you to look at the wallet yourselves. I have never asked you or said it was your place to supply me with a new wallet. This is untrue in your response post.

As I said above, you need to be clear with the timelines involved and the clear facts. Do not try and spin this to appear otherwise. I have no doubt that you have a good reputation and that all your products are indeed very interesting. But you should understand that at the end of the day, I only asked for one thing.

Further update response:

First, I’ve no doubt that your customer service with your customers is anything other than very good, as you say, and according to the reviews I have read. This doesn’t mean that I am wrong in my experience and how you have responded.

Second, I have not conveniently omitted any details of my claims as you allege. Again you have not read my review. Your facts are incorrect as is your timeline.

Returning to the store, Uniform Buffalo a year later is incorrect. Product bought in Aug 2024. Asking the store owner to look at the product in March 2025 is seven months later. As I said, I did not start using the wallet until Jan 2025. There is nothing unusual in doing this. And again regarding the store owner, you have not read my review. I did not tell the store owner that there was an issue. I asked him to look at the wallet to see if this was normal. What part of this whole episode do you not understand. He said it was the patina. I literally spoke to the store owner about his issue for less than three minutes. As I also said, the store owner was packing up cartons of clothing from the store.

When I contacted you the next day, the store was closed. I have asked you to check out the website, which confirms this and that they are moving.

The sticky stuff on the wallet is laughable. As is your claim that I demand a resolution. I have only asked that you, Barnes & Moore Leatherworks, look at the issue. You have only now made it clear in your post above that you feel this is unnecessary.

By the way, I have never suggested that it was your place to supply me with a new wallet. This is factually incorrect and your choice of words.

Firstly, our customer service, in the opinion of the majority of our customers, is very good, and, reading the reviews listed will support this.

Secondly we notice you have conveniently omitted any details of your claims to back up this review, so lets deal with the honest facts, and let rational people make their own judgment on our business ethos.

You purchased a wallet from a store called Uniform Buffalo in Chelmsford in August 2024, and then returned it to the store a year later (claiming you had only just started using it). You told the store owner there was an issue with a small area of colour wearing off on the inside face of the leather (the inside face where the cards and money are kept). The store owner inspected the wallet and explained that this was not a fault, but caused by use and wear and tear.

You then got in contact with us, explained your issues, and claimed that Uniform Buffalo was “closed’ so you were unable to return the wallet to them, hence getting in touch with us. We spoke to the store and established this wasn’t true, as you had indeed paid the store a visit, but were unable to get the store to replace the wallet your claims were deemed unreasonable.

We responded in great detail to your emails with courtesy and you sent us images of the wallet. On inspection we supported Uniform Buffalo’s decision, as the marks in question looked to have been caused by friction in the pocket of the two surfaces coming together and rubbing when the wallet is folded, this is called friction, and is not a fault in the leather as you claimed (otherwise, obviously all the inside surfaces would show colour loss, not just one particular area). The cause could also have been from a sticky substance on the wallet in that particular area and then folded shut resulting in the surface being damaged.

It was politely explained to you that we do not accept responsibility for customer use of our goods, and the wallet wasn’t deemed to be faulty, therefore we could help no further. Inspection of the wallet in person was unnecessary, as it was clear from the images that the claimed issues were from customer use.

You still continued to demand we offer you some resolution, refusing to listen and accept to our honest, and factual explanations, and also refusing to accept any liability yourself, clearly of the opinion that your vast knowledge of leather and leather goods was superior to ours and it was our place to supply you a new wallet. It isn’t.

Prattle is an interesting choice of words implying that we are being inaccurate with our assessment of the situation, which we are not. Yes, we were a a few weeks out, but you get the point that you purchased the wallet, on you own admission in August 2024 and then returned to to the store almost a year later with your claims that it was faulty. In the store owners opinion it was not, and in our opinion it was not. So, you have had two opinions from two different people, which you are not happy to accept. Uniform Buffalo are still trading in Chelmsford, but have now moved, as stated on their website. We also wouldn't describe the potential of you getting a sticky substance, or similar on your wallet as 'bizarre' as this is potentially a very realistic scenario. Whether it is the cause of the mark on your wallet or not is, of course, debatable and we will never know. What we do know is that small areas of leather don't develop 'faults' when all the surrounding portions remain unmarked, so there has to be root cause to make this happen. We have explained in detail that two surface pressed together may cause wear, this is a factual statement, and we have no control over this, and there isn't a manufacturer in the world who can claim differently. With this is mind perhaps your expectations may be deemed as unrealistic.

Fantastic company and products

Bought a Garrison belt in oak bark leather, oxblood and copper buckle. Prior to placing my order I was a little unsure what size would fit best and a few emails to Steve my questions were answered and my order was placed. A few days later and DHL promptly gave me a parcel. Upon opening I found a beautifully presented package that was certainly of premium quality and care. Like a kid in a sweet shop, I carefully opened the box to reveal my new belt.
A thing of beauty and craft was sat in a beautifully presented box. The smell!! Wow!! It smells fantastic, looks fantastic and is a true work of art.
I don’t know who specifically crafted my belt but thank you to Barnes and Moore and of course Steve for the emails and help.
Keep doing what you’re doing!

Beautiful, high quality belts. Just be sure to look at the size guide before purchasing as they are slightly longer than their equivalent pant size.

Best quality and service

Barnes an Moore went out of their way to fulfil an order for me for a birthday present. You very rarely get customer service like that now.
Items ordered a belt and keyfob were stunning. Cannot rate this business high enough for quality and service.

Very happy with the purchase

I bought a submariner belt in oak tanned oxblood. Very sturdy and superb finishing. It comes with a free key fob in the same leather as well. The solid copper buckle is already showing some patina on Day 3 (!) Friendly and responsive customer service. Very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend.
