Straight Answers
QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Sizing, shipping, returns, and what the gear is actually made of. If it is not here, contact us and we will answer it straight.
Sizing & Fit
How do I pick the right belt size?
Measure your waist at navel height over a t-shirt - that is where the belt actually sits - and match it to the size chart on the product page. Pant size is the most common way people get this wrong.
Should I size up if I am between sizes?
Size up. Genuine leather breaks in and softens with use, so a belt that starts a touch roomy settles into the right fit rather than becoming unusable.
How long does a leather belt take to break in?
Around 2-3 wears. Full-grain leather starts stiff on purpose - that stiffness is what supports you - and it softens to your shape without losing structure.
Shipping
Where do you ship?
The United States only right now. International shipping is on the roadmap but is not available yet.
How fast do orders go out?
Orders are processed and packed within 3 business days. Once shipped, most arrive in 3-7 business days depending on carrier and location. Delivery estimates come from the carrier and are not guaranteed.
What does shipping cost?
It is calculated at checkout from your order weight and address using live rates from USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL Express. You see the exact cost before you pay - nothing gets added later.
Do you offer free shipping?
We run free shipping promotions from time to time on select orders. When one is active it applies automatically at checkout. We do not have a standing free shipping threshold.
Will I get tracking?
Yes. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking once your order is dispatched.
Returns & Refunds
What is your return window?
You have 14 days from the date of delivery to request a return or refund. Requests after 14 days cannot be accepted.
What condition does the item need to be in?
Unworn, unwashed, and in original condition with all original tags attached. Items that do not meet that may be denied a refund or sent back to you at your cost.
Is anything final sale?
Yes. For hygiene and quality reasons, water bottles, shaker cups, keychains, necklaces, funnels, and towel and bag sets are final sale unless they arrive defective or damaged. Everything else is returnable within the window above.
Who pays return shipping?
If we sent the wrong item or it arrived defective or damaged, we cover return shipping in full. For change-of-mind returns such as the wrong size, return shipping is on you.
How are refunds issued?
Once your return is received and inspected, you are refunded to your original payment method. Processing time depends on your bank or payment provider.
My order arrived damaged or wrong. What now?
Contact us as soon as you can with your order number and photos. We will review it and make it right, and we cover the return shipping in that case.
Products & Care
What are the belts actually made of?
Full-grain leather with double-stitched seams. It is the construction that holds up under repeated heavy loading rather than flexing or delaminating over time.
How should I care for a leather belt?
Keep it dry and let it air out after training. Wipe off sweat rather than soaking it, and store it flat or hanging instead of folded. Do not machine wash it.
How do I wash the apparel?
Cold wash, inside out, tumble dry low or hang dry. That keeps the print from cracking and the fabric from shrinking.
