The design for these sword hangers comes from a surviving example in the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds that's date to the mid 17th century. They are made from vegetable tanned cattle hide that have been dyed using period dyes and they are made entirely by hand. They are also available in oil tanned buff leather. They have a brass buckle modelled on the surviving Leeds Armouries hanger with a brass buckle plate and the seams are stitched with a decorative cross stitch.
The belts are 2 inches (5cm) wide and up to 65 inches (164cm) long and will be cut to size. The two sword loops are 6 1/2 inches (17cm) wide and will take a sword scabbard that is up to 2 inches (5cm) wide.
