These are handsome, high-quality, lifetime belts – both the good ol' basic black and the milk-chocolate brown brown, and their solid brass hardware is a big, broad, welcome fit that's nicely spaced between an IH pair of jeans' two front belt loops... 
...  and guess what else ?  Main man @Giles was kind enough to offer to find, and then to bring-in some extra, nickel-plated (garrison) buckles – one of which I've bought and have swapped for the brass hardware of my black Tochigi IHB-06, so as to match the silver of the chain-linkage of the black wallet, and of the black key-fob, that I wear with my jeans.  How's that for attention to detail ?  Thanks again, IH !

Shortened mine today, had been putting it off as I was certain that I'd f it up.. surprisingly straight forward and fits perfectly now

Does anyone know if the "keeper" is attached to the belt or can it be removed.  I'm just wondering how this belt would work with the Iron Heart Big Brass Buckle.  Maybe the IHB-07 would work better with that buckle? I normally just slide the excess of the belt into a pant loop.  I would just buy the IHB-07 and be done with it because ill be using the big brass buckle anyway, but I like the style of the stock buckle with the IHB-06 better, just in case I want to use that one from time to time.  It may sound a little confusing but bottom line, is the brass "keeper" removable? thanks.

It falls out when you undo the screws:

Perfect. Thank you.

Thanks again for the help.  Just placed order for belt and buckle.

Does anyone know if the black Tochiqi leather is vegetable tanned only, or chrome (or a combination such as Horween leather)?

[Giles]

i don't know for definite, but veg only I think.

Great, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to a large coming back in stock. Loving my natural tan but I can't quite make it work for business casual. Black on the other hand….

I was actually trying to decide between this one and the IHB-07 and I like this one better than the IHB-07. But there is one question that I would like to clarify. I will be using this one on my IH-721 Khaki Chinos which I have in tag size 32. I just measured the distance between the front 2 belt loops and they are just 8 cm apart. Now going by the dimensions of this belt, the square brass buckle is about 5.7 cm.

Can anyone please tell me what is the distance in cm for the dotted line that I have marked in the image below?

I just want to know if the brass hardware will sit comfortably in front of the pant loop or will it have to fight against the pant loop for space? Do you know what I mean? Can someone help me out?

EDIT: I got the reply from IH service and the measurement between the first blue dot and the 3rd blue dot is roughly 10 cm. Might be useful for anyone else!
