Product Insights
The Steel & Barnett Brown Braided Leather Bracelet is a handcrafted Belgian accessory made from full-grain aniline-dyed nappa leather, featuring a secure magnetic clasp that resists water but requires leather removal before moisture exposure. Priced at 99 CAD, it offers a fixed sizing in Small (18–19 cm), Medium (20–21 cm), or Large (22–23 cm) with no adjustment possible, and the braided leather may naturally stretch over time, so a snug fit is recommended. The 12mm width and magnetic clasp are consistent across the line for seamless stacking, making it a durable yet delicate option that demands care to prevent damage.

Small fits 18–19 cm (7.1–7.5 in), Medium fits 20–21 cm (7.9–8.3 in), and Large fits 22–23 cm (8.7–9.1 in).
What are the exact lengths (in mm or inches) for the Small, Medium, and Large sizes?The length is fixed and not adjustable; the leather may stretch slightly, but that does not allow resizing:

- Water tolerance
Clasp is water-resistant, but leather band requires removal before water contact.
Why this is supported
The magnetic clasp's 316L stainless steel construction resists corrosion from typical daily moisture, but the full-grain nappa leather band must be removed before swimming, showering, or heavy sweating to avoid damage, so overall water tolerance depends on the material.

Why this is supported
