Just got my belts a few weeks ago...mine are tough as hell and stick out too. My friend wore his for a while now and the leather's a lot softer and more fitted to the waist. You just have to break it in.

I got the Mahogany...it's a lot darker than it looks on the website. More of a reddish brown. I like it better IRL than the pic on the site.

Hope this helps!

get the one that is your measured waist size from their website: >>All of our belts are graded to fit as true to size as possible. Because of the thickness of the leather we use, our grading system is +2” longer than the stated size. A size 34 belt will measure 36” from where the leather folds around the buckle to the center hole. If you have any questions or concerns about sizing, please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected].<<

I'm 33-34 TTS. Just ordered a 34 Standard Black with the Copper Hardware (Premium I guess).

Looks freakin cool with the black/copper contrast; will be my go-to casual black belt.

Will report back on fit.

Just got mine in london tan. It's also lighter in person, but that's good in my book. Beefy as ****. Splattered's reaction is pretty understandable.

Buckles are just 'meh'. Ordered the nickel roller and a stainless self-keeper, and opted to re-use one of my favorite buckles instead.

Otherwise, will def. order another...maybe a few. Cust. srv. was great with a quick reply abt. shipping.

I got the Standard belt in Nickel last week, and it's great! This is the best belt I've ever owned. I bought it at Uncle Otis for $118 Canadian, which seems like there was a healthy markup involved, but I'm still pleased.

I wear a 31 waist and got the 34. It hits perfectly at the 5th middle hole.

This belt feels well made, like it just "clicks" and works.

It's a bit thick / bulky, but that look works great with jeans (which I always wear.)

Good job Tanner! I saw the untreated leather and was considering it. If I get a second belt, that will be the next one.

Looking to pick up a few gifts for Christmas.. should I expect any coupons soon?

I was considering the london tan but got the natural instead... pretty light colored belt but i slapped it on this morning w jeans and a tshirt and it just works. I dig it. Lovin these belts... so far i've only worn my double prong. I'm not so sure i need my two standards as well. Considering picking up the leather keepers after the fact too.

As for the sizing question... i wear sz 30 jeans, so i ordered sz 32 belts. General rule is to order two inches longer than your waist size. Then i saw the sizing tab on their website and it states the belts are listed as true to size... so i should have actually gotten a 30. I emailed customer service and they said no, if you have size 30 waist then you need a 32 belt. I received them and they maybe fit an inch large but i dont think a full 2.

The belt i wore all day yesterday already broke in a fair amount where the prong/keeper was, so im not that worried anymore

How long did it take for you guys to get the belts? I ordered last week. It would be nice if I got it before Christmas but I'm in no rush.

They take orders directly online. Via Paypal, so conversion is taken care of.
