      Firstly, do not put holes in it.  It is designed to be taken apart and shortened from the buckle end.

      1. Close enough for Government work
      2. Yes
      3. Yes

      But just get an XL and shorten it (I think even @Seul ) managed…...

      Great, thank you very much for the answer. The one I own from SENY, I've already put holes in before I worked out the shortening mechanism, so that ship has sailed. I did a tidy job, but I see from your useful film what I should have done and I feel like a dick now  😠 . But yeah, I could manage that….

      I'm looking for a new one as the SENY belt has so much transferred indigo on the inside it will feck up my new 666D's.  And this nu-buck is fit (as they say in Liverpool).

      Also, it's good to know that @Seul is useful for more than drinking beer and cuddling pigs….

          Actually I'm forever thankful to @Seul for getting me into Gueze and pointing me in the direction of the good ones. So hopefully he knows I'm just joking and that was a cheap shot [emoji16]

          And I notice that my forum status just got upgraded to "Haraki-san Expert". That's some amazing irony considering the amount of dumb-ass questions I still ask on here.

            What a perfect timed coincidence.  I had received an XL nubuck belt yesterday, but it's too big.  Was contemplating getting the L sized belt, or punching more holes in my XL.  Glad you guys discussed shortening the belt before I did anything, phew!

              Good stuff! Can I ask what size jeans you take? Shortening looks like fun and games, but if the L fits right out of the bag I might as well go for that.

                I am a 33-34 in IH bottoms, and the L fits perfectly out of the bag.  However, as a former 34-36, I would say the L probably would not work as well as sticking with the LL/XL and making the adjustments.  Just my two cents.

                    I'm a W36 and the XL is just a tad too long.  But seeing as it's easy to shorten the belt, I think I'll just do that instead of ordering an L, and risk finding out it's a bit too short.

                        I pulled the trigger on an XL just before you posted  😉 According to the site measurements the first hole should do. But my XL from SENY doesn't match those measurements so we'll see. Bit of DIY leather fuckery will be fun, anyways. Thanks for answering though!

                            Giles, could you please measure the L version from the base of the buckle (end of leather part) to the middle hole?
                            Thanks a lot!!!

                              Ouch sorry @jay-cy

                              @Winchy @Alex Please could you do that - IHB-01 has measurements in it, so please use that as a guide, do the IHB-04 too.  Please make a note to do it when IHB-02 is restocked.

                              The measurements may be in the sizing folder as they were def online on the last version of the website

                                Yessir, there is a sizing range on the website but I would need the mentioned measure in order to decide for an L or XL (I like to end up in the middle or in the 5th hole)

                                    If you have any doubt, I would go XL. You can always cut it down to size (this is way easier than it sounds… there's even a video somewhere).

                                      I can confirm that getting a custom fit off an XL is a super easy, super satisfying job. I've done it twice with great results. A screwdriver, stanley knife, hammer and some kind of hole punch and you're golden.

                                        This is what I did with the 01. The 05 in XL is out of stock at the moment…

                                            Now with the measures at hand, I would end up in the middle hole what I dislike a bit (I prefer one hole tighter for optical teasons - I am a pit picky, I know…).
                                            So I will wait for a restock in XL and then shorten with my 01 as template.
