Are the belts reinforced?No. Most of our belts are considered very heavy and do not need reinforcing. They are made from thick, firm tempered hides that are resistant to sagging. However, if you insist on a reinforced belt, we can accommodate that request. Email us for a custom inquiry.
-
How do I get the correct belt size?DO NOT USE YOUR JEAN/PANT SIZE WHEN ORDERING. YOUR BELT WILL NOT FIT. There are two ways to measure for a belt: Lay your old belt out on a flat surface. With a tape measure, measure from where the leather folds around the buckle to the hole most used. Round that number UP, if it falls between sizes. Thread a fabric tape measure or non-stretch cord through your pant loops (while wearing them). Overlap the tape on the front and where they meet, that is your measurement. Again, remember to round UP if it falls between sizes. Please see our Videos linked below for more help.
