Glaze & Gordon are delighted to have joined forces with the Atlantic Salmon Trust to design this exclusive Salmon needlepoint belt with 15% of sales being donated to the Trust. A matching leather dog collar, key fob, hip flask and card wallet are also available here. 

We have worked with the AST and the classic needlepoint company Smathers & Branson to create this beautiful, classic Salmon design on a dark blue background. A must for any salmon and fly fishing enthusiast. 

The hand-stitched traditional belts take up to 20 hours to create and are 1.25" wide, finished with full grain, vegetable tanned Italian leather and a solid brass buckle. These are made to last - they look and feel outstanding.

The Atlantic Salmon Trust exists solely for the protection of wild salmon and sea trout. Its aim is to create a positive future for these threatened species; using scientific research to understand their decline and put evidence-based solutions into practice to better protect them.

Brand Insight: Smathers & Branson 

Novelty needlepoint accessories for humans, hounds and homes

Smathers & Branson joined forces in 2004, after looking to buy needlepoint belts and realising there was not a company that created the finished item. The biggest challenge they faced was finding an artisan skilled enough to create a product to the perfect standard they were looking for – but after spending time in Vietnam and meeting with stitchers face to face to outline exactly what it was they were seeking they found their artisans and have formed an incredible working relationship. Since the success of the belts, the company has gone on to make lots of different needlepoint accessories – all special, unique and a wonderful addition to our Glaze & Gordon range.

Founder Note: 

Serendipity strikes again with Smathers & Branson. A spontaneous discovery, spotted out of the corner of her eye at a Christmas market in NYC's Grand Central Station as Becs, in true New York Fashion, dashed to catch her train.

Size Guide

Approximate size guide: 

For men: Add 2 inches your trouser size e.g. someone who wears a 36” would take a 38” belt. When the trouser is an odd size, increase the belt size by 3 inches (i.e. a size 33 wears a size 36 belt).

For women: Approx. UK size 6=28” belt, UK size 10=32” belt, UK size 12=34” belt, UK size 14=36” ‘belt, UK size  16=38”, UK size 18=40”. If between sizes choose the larger size belt e.g. UK size 10/12 = 34” belt

Exact size guide: 

Measure a belt that fits well from where the leather starts (bottom of the buckle) to the centre hole, as per the diagram below. This measurement is the ideal belt size e.g. if the measurement is 36", we would recommend a 36 belt

If the measurement is in-between sizes or an uneven size, we recommend rounding up to the next even inch to get the size.

Care

Material: Cotton/Leather

Care: If the cotton gets dirty, then use a small amount of soap with warm water and spot clean. For maximum protection you can use Scotchgard – but follow the instructions specifically and be careful to only treat the cotton thread.

Brass can be cleaned with a regular brass polishing product, but be careful not to spill onto the leather or the cotton.

Leather can be maintained with a leather cleaning product.
