They are all difference sizes. The BLT0 are about 110 cm. The BLT range in size, from about 200-220 cm - I think that it's cut directly from the longest part of the buffalo hide, so the length will vary depending on the size of the beast. I think that the people at SSENSE are on mistaken. They have one priced at the BLT level, and one at the BLT0. It would be nonsensical that both are the same length

Surprise! They're both short. (Confusingly, the one I just got, at the higher price point, is tagged BLT, but it's also only around 110 cm.)

That... makes no sense to me. My wife has a BLT0, and I have 3 BLT (rust, oxblood, and black) and the BLT is far thicker and longer. I'm so confused. Did they use the same model number for a different model? Was it mislabelled? Was it just a very small buffalo? Did someone buy, modify, and return, and the staff just didn't know any better?

Thanks for taking one for the team!
Search continues but I’ll probably fold and buy from Antonioli

And if you got the thin one then it’s even more screwed up because Ssense told me it was 150cm

I have no idea. I had earlier bought the one they put on sale right at the beginning of the sale, which was $109-ish on sale, and which I should have realized would be the shorter one. Labelled BLT0; I returned it after I saw the more expensive one being discussed here was on sale too. It just arrived; it's labelled BLT; it's not noticeably larger than the one I returned. I emailed them to ask what the deal is.

I think that Jen (my wife) actually wore hers today, so I can't take a quick picture for you, but the BLT one is really quite thick. Incidentally, a great belt for every day wear, but I do not recommend wearing it to the airport, as everyone will look at you like "you knew this was going to happen" as you take out two full lengths of belt, then have to put everything back together.

This is actually consistent. 150 cm is approximately 59 inches.

That seems like a weird length though. Jen's BLT0 is around 110 cm. And my shortest BLT (the black one) is about 205 cm, and my longest is easily about 220 cm, and i have to figure out, when I wear it, where I will put all of that excess length.

@LA Guy right, but @oulipien said it was more like 110cm when he got it, not the 150 that Ssense quoted me.
So Ssense measurements don’t line up.
I passed on it at 150cm because it didn’t seem long enough. I want that thing to trail past my knees.

150 cm is probably long enough for that purpose, unless you are a much wider dude, or super tall. Assuming a pretty standard 36 inches to get around your waist, that leaves nearly 2 feet of belt Much longer than that, and you are looking to trip yourself up.

I pulled out a measuring tape and wrapped it how I would wear it and it would only be mid thigh at best.

Fair enough. How tall are you. Because this, at 210 cm (trust me, they vary by +/- 10cm, I mean, that is a looooot of extra length. We are talking an extra 3'.

 

[oulipien]

They just got back to me with a max length of 49 inches, or one inch over four feet, or 124cm (which is what the belt I got measured, as I was able to confirm after taking it home where there's a measuring tape)—so they've now decided that they belts don't even measure five feet!
