Q; My Pants are a size 30, but when I measured where I ware my pants like you suggest in the belt descriptions, it says 36. Which size should I order.

A; The correct size to use is the one you came up with by measuring.
Unfortunately I can not tell you what size your belt needs to be based on your pants size. Many pant manufactures do not make their pants using actual waist measurements for their waist sizes. Another problem is that pants relax and stretch over time.
Think of my belts as being tailored. Getting as close to a specific measurement, on your body, as possible is best.
When you measure for your size please measure where your belt will sit. So if you’re a lady and wear low rise jeans measure where your jeans sit.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Q; My current favorite belt is 45 inches long with 5 holes and I’m using the first hole, if I get any bigger I won’t be able to use the belt. Does the 45 make my waist size a 39 in your belt?

A; Unfortunately I cant tell you what size your belt makes you without measuring you. There is no standard for all belts on how far the holes are from the tip of the belt, nor the distance between the holes. They all vary by maker. Based on your description you can be anywhere between a 39 and a 43.
Think of my belts as being tailored. Getting as close to a specific measurement, on your body, as possible is best.
When you measure for your size please measure where your belt will sit. So if you’re a lady and wear low rise jeans measure where your jeans sit.
If you have any questions please contact me.
__________________________________________

Q; How do I measure to get the right size for my belt?

A; The easiest way is to simply take a tape measure and wrap it around yourself where you wear your belt.

~How to Measure your Waist
1) Take a tape measure, and/or peace of string/rope.
2) Put the end of the string/tape on the button of your pants and wrap it around once.
3) Pull the string/tape to the tightness that you will wear the belt.
4) Mark where the string/tape meets on your button.
5) Note the measurement of the string/tape.

~How to measure your old belt
Buckle; Measure from the fold holding your buckle to the hole you use most. (though because of how much old leather can stretch this can also be inaccurate.)
Ring; Measure from the fold holding your ring to where the belt passes through the ring.

When you measure for your size please measure where your belt will sit. So if you’re a lady and wear low rise jeans measure where your jeans sit.
If you have any questions please contact me.

I seal all of my Leather thoroughly. But the color does fade with time, no matter what you do. It's just general wear and tear. How much you wear the Item, and how long it is in the sun contributes to how fast fading happens. Leather also stretches over time.
__________________________________________

I only dye the backs of belts and straps as a special request, and am very against it. I AM NOT to be held responsible for any color bleeding from the back of a belt/strap onto clothing. I have never had a problem, but accidents do happen. I only do it because people ask for it. I take multiple precautions to prevent bleeding.
1) I only dye the visible backing.
2) I only apply one coat of coloring to the back of the belt/strap. So it won't be dark black, but a soft black, more like a very dark gray.
3) I thoroughly seal every dyed back multiple times
