A refined blend of heritage craftsmanship and the unmistakable character of Italian leather.
Our Italian Leather Sam Browne is made from premium Tuscan-tanned leather, sourced through our trusted local saddlery. Tuscany has long been regarded as the heart of traditional vegetable tanning, producing leather known for its depth of colour, smooth natural grain, and exceptional longevity.
Each hide is carefully selected before entering our workshop, where every strap is hand-cut and crafted by us. From edging and shaping to stitching and finishing, each stage is carried out with uncompromising attention to detail—ensuring your Sam Browne meets ceremonial standards and carries the Douglas Leather signature of quality.
All fittings are solid brass, removable, and designed for durability and authenticity.

A Note on Natural Leather
Italian leather carries the organic beauty of its origins. Variations in tone, subtle grain differences, natural markings, and character lines are part of its authenticity. These features ensure every Sam Browne is unique, with no two ever identical.
