REGARDING SIZING:
*Please read carefully*
BELTS - **READ CAREFULLY!! - *Please make sure you check your size. Do not rely on the number on your old belt or on a well-worn pair of jeans: these things stretch over time!
I recommend this procedure:
Put on a pair of pants that fits to the place you are most likely to wear this belt (low-rise pants will measure differently than your actual waist size!) Feed a tape measure through the loops; make sure it doesn't get twisted -- pull the tape snug but not tight. This is the measurement I need.(If you are giving this as a gift, the waist size of their NEWEST blue-jeans is an acceptable alternative measurement)*

Getting a correct measurement is the Buyers responsibility - Please don't guess!! If you need help, I am glad to assist.

WRISTBANDS & CUFFS:

A MEASUREMENT OF YOUR WRIST IN INCHES OR CENTIMETERS IS THE MOST USEFUL NUMBER TO SEND ME TO ASSIST YOU IN DETERMINING SIZE.

My wristbands are sized according to wrist measurements. I add the necessary length to this wrist measurement to allow for bending around the wrist and overlapping/snapping. If you don't have a cloth tape-measure, you can fashion a measuring device with a strip of paper - wrap it around your wrist and then measure the result against a ruler.
Because people have different preferences on how a band should fit, most of my bands are listed with a sizing range between 2 numbers. This indicates that it will fit loosely on a wrist in line with the smaller number, snugly on the larger wrist. For example, if a size reads "will fit a wrist measuring 6" - 6 1/2" " then it will be loose (not sloppy) on a 6" wrist and snug on a 6 1/2" wrist. Keep this in mind when ordering.

FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE SPECIFICS:
As an example, a size small is made for a wrist measuring 6" - 6-1/2" (15.2cm - 16.5). . The overall length of the cuff is about 8-1/4" (21cm) , the distance between snap centers is about 7-1/4" (18.4cm). About 3/4" (1.9cm) is "eaten up" by the thickness of the leather and the physics of circumference, so this gives an interior measurement of about 6-1/2" (16.5cm) , resulting in a snug (not tight) fit for a 6-1/2" (16.5) wrist and a more relaxed fit for a 6" (15.2cm) wrist.
A medium is 1/2" (1.3cm) larger on all the above measurements, a large is 1/2" (1.3cm) larger than a medium.
This info applies to cuffs & wristbands with the heavy-duty snaps. The 1/2" wide bracelets (characterized by a lightweight snap) are sized differently, to fit like a bangle. If you'd like specifics on those, feel free to write me with your questions!
:-)

If you are requesting custom sizing and you're using a favorite band as a size guide, please measure the distance between snap centers (not end to end) and let me know that you are sending a "band" measurement, not a wrist measurement. It is also helpful for me to know if the band you are measuring is of a substantially different material than the full-grain cowhide I typically use. Variations in thickness will affect the sizing.
If you have any questions regarding sizing, please let me know.
If you order the wrong size (it happens!) please let me know right away. I will be glad to make arrangements for you to return your band for resizing. (There will be a shipping charge for this.)
Remember: Sizing is important and is the responsibility of you, the buyer.

COLOR:
Each dye lot is unique and each piece of leather will "take" the dye in its own way. For that reason, the colors you see in the listings may vary somewhat from the item shipped. If a specific shade or tone is important to you, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request.

LEATHER CARE:
All of my Belts, Cuffs, Bracelets and Earth Medallions are finished with protective products that guard against damage from casual moisture, such as getting caught in a rain shower. However, remember that leather is an absorbent material... I DO NOT recommend immersion in water - please don't wear it in the shower or while you're swimming. I've written a blog post on the subject - you can find it at this link:
