I hope you don't mind a little picture spam here. But I love this belt and want to share my enjoyment with you. I had had plans to indigo dye it…. But I don't think I will. It's way nicer and more sublime than I could have ever imagined.
The way the belt is designed is absolutely genius. You can alter the length and it will have the se appearance…

I have that fucker in the black leather with the plated buckle and … it's unreal. Yours is super rad looking, @Filthy
Epic modding, too. Some pro level shit right there. -
Yeah man the belt is so awesome! Thanks for the compliment. But the design makes it so anybody can do it.

After about a year or so of daily wear.

What’s the size guidance with these belts? I ask because I’m right smack dab in the middle of the M and L, measuring out with my favorite belts to 34 inches. So do I go with a medium and wear it on the 5th (last hole) or the L and wear it on the 1st hole? I would think M knowing that the leather will stretch a bit, but I'd worry that wearing a belt on the last or second to last hole is going to look odd.
For those of you between sizes; which way did you go and why?

Which is why we put a link to that vid in the product description…...
I have only had (needed) one IH belt in the last 15 or so years, but I sized mine so that it fitted perfectly when on the middle hole. I suspect I have subsequently used all the other holes as my weight has deviated/had large lunches/been on a pub crawls/worn jeans with different rises etc etc......
I have a friend who has been shedding weight over the last 4 years or so, every so often, we lop another inch off his belt....

Love it. Thank you. I completely missed the how-to video link.
The next question becomes; what size(s) hole punch do I need? After all, I always welcome another excuse to buy more tools.
ETA: after a brief interwebbing session, I see kits are more the norm. So the better question is; which brand of punches are reccomended?

If you’re in the USA Tandy makes a decent kit. Just make sure you use a ruler and take your time to make sure it’s centered.

Matter not, any of them will go through the leather multiple times. Our sets cost about USD10 per pop…..
