**YOU MUST MEASURE YOUR BELT SIZE ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW - IT IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR PANT SIZE.**
THE ONE STAR BELT
A simple strap of superior quality leather, finished with a durable buckle. Buckles are secured with rivets, but if you would prefer the buckle to be removable, Chicago screws are an available option: You may add the $2 listing "Belt add-on: Chicago screws instead of rivets (set of 2)" to your order when ordering your belt (find that listing in the Belts section of the shop).
The leather is incredible - Chromexcel from the legendary Horween Tannery in Chicago. This leather is soft and supple and will stretch about 1" as you break it in (I work that into the sizing, read below). The edges are not beveled, but will develop a nice, crisp rounded shape as the belt wears in.
BELT MEASUREMENT ("SIZE" - ENTER ABOVE) - **IMPORTANT**
Each belt is custom sized. The measurement I need is *NOT* your pant size. Keep reading:
To determine your belt size, measure a current belt that fits you well. Measure the distance (in inches) from the hole you use most to the other end of the belt where the leather folds over the buckle (at the base of the buckle prong). You will probably notice that your belt size is a few inches larger than your pant size. See the included photo for how to measure.
When you receive your belt, the middle of 5 holes will be 1" smaller than your measurement. This is to account for about 1" of stretch in the belt as it breaks in. After break-in, your given measurement should fall close to the middle hole. This is not an exact science and each piece of leather will break in slightly differently.
Remember to double check your belt measurement! WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MISTAKES IN MEASUREMENTS. The size you order is the size you will receive.
Custom sized belts are not returnable unless we made a mistake (in which case please contact us and we will correct it!).

The strap itself is very nice. Nice and simple piece of top shelf leather. No stitching. No tooling. Exactly what I wanted in a strap. My gripe lies with the hardware and the listings of the products. In all the photos, Chicago screws are used as the attachment hardware for the buckle… So it’s not unreasonable for a person to assume that the depicted hardware is what he will receive. It wasn’t until I received the item that I came to the realization that Chicago screws are only used if you specifically ask for them. That detail is buried within the item description. Rivets are used by default. Maybe it’s my fault for not reading that detail but I assumed I would receive what I was looking at. I change buckles on my belt depending on the clothes I’m wearing. I love the belt overall but I won’t wear it as much as I intended.

Excellent quality as always. Thick heavy leather. Sizing is shorted to allow stretching. Currently two buckle holes too short, I'm trusting it will stretch. The smell of the leather is very nice and leathery. Far superior than store bought belts and the price is low for what it is.
