How tight should a leather bracelet be? 

Your leather bracelet should be comfortable and secure around your wrist. Well-fitted leather bracelets enhance style and comfort, complementing your look without causing discomfort. Style them solo or stacked - you can explore our men's bracelet collection for inspiration.

To test the fit, try sliding one or two fingers between your bracelet and wrist. If that is easy, the bracelet should stay secure and comfortable for long periods of wear. If you want to wear your bracelet under a sleeve, consider the bulk of the design when selecting your piece.

Can leather bracelets go in water?

Your leather bracelet is water-resistant, which is not the same as being fully waterproof. A water-resistant piece can be worn throughout the day, and brief exposure will not harm the material. If your bracelet comes into contact with water, gently dry it with a soft cloth and let it air dry.

Leather is porous, meaning it absorbs moisture. Prolonged exposure to moisture can degrade the bracelet's appearance, making it stiff or misshapen. It's best to take your bracelet off before swimming, showering, or similar activities.
