    Buy one size smaller

    I just bought a 32” Old Bull Belt (1 1/2”) in dark coffee brown. It is an amazing belt that looks to last the full 100 years if properly cared for. It is only a hint darker than chestnut and without the reddish hue. 5/5 star quality, service, and shipping from Saddleback Leather Co: simply the best. However, I have had quite a time finding the right size. Apparently, the 34” belt is abnormally long and not at all 34”. In fact, I have a 34” chestnut tow belt (which I have dubbed “The Anaconda” because of the way it constricts when I try to take the thing off; it is very, very thick) that I can only wear by using the very last hole, leaving a comic length of belt sticking out to one side. So after no small amount of frustration, I ordered the above mentioned 32” OBB (Old Bull Belt 1 1/2”), and it fit! I can now proudly and properly display my fashionable Saddleback belt by using the middle hole as intended. In short: it is my humble recommendation that the reader order a size smaller than usual (i.e. if one has a 34” waist, order the 32” belts). In any case, be sure to talk with a customer service representative first; they are an excellent resource to help you find the right size. My only wish is for Saddleback Leather Co. to dispel any confusion by advertising the belts by their actual sizes (the average reader can stop here). I measured the belts and came up with the following numbers: The 34” tow belt is actually a whopping 42” long, not including the buckle (which, by the way, is about 2” long, sticking out only 1 1/2” before it overlaps with the leather. So 42 + 1.5 = about a 43.5” long belt including the buckle). Using just the length of the leather, without buckle, the holes are made at approximately 34” (very last hole), 37” (middle hole), and 40” (first hole), respectively. That translates into me wearing the very last hole as I am a 34” waist. Now the 32” OBB is actually 40” long (just the leather; with buckle, maybe 41.5”). Using just the length of the leather, without buckle, the holes are drilled at approximately 32” (very last hole), 35” (middle hole), and 38” (first hole), meaning I can wear the belt using the middle hole (since I'm a 34” waist). However, if I was truly a 32” waist (that was ten years ago!), I would have to order a 30” belt (if there was one), or I would look very silly! Again, I wish Saddleback Leather Co. would advertise their belts according to actual size. I do not know how they currently measure their belts, but it sure is frustrating at best and deceptive at worst. Now, I have to return the 34” belt...

    Too thick. Very uncomfortable.

    This is a quality belt, and it's obviously well built, but it's a poor design. The leather is far to thick to fit through any of my Levi's comfortably. I really want to like this, but it's just a bad design. Off to eBay.

    Buy it!

    So I just received my Texas made Old Bull Belt in DCB.... All I can say is WOW. Don't be surprised if like me, you notice this thing is twice as thick as your other belts. It seems as though it'll surely last a life time. You just might outgrow it before it wears out. I bought mine from Dave's Deals, but will gladly pay full retail price for another one in a different color... They are that nice. If you're tired of wearing "trash belts," you need one of these. I highly doubt you'll write a review saying otherwise. Thanks Dave.

    Holy Cow!!!- no pun intended

    I was very skeptical of the belt. I was very nervous that I probably ordered the wrong size or something. Nope, I followed the sizing instructions and it fits perfect! This belt is PHENOMENAL! I ordered mine in the DCB and will be ordering one in black very very soon. YOU WILL NOT be disappointed if you purchase this Old Bull Belt. Thanks SBL for yet another great experience.

    A Rite of Passage

    Since I was a 13 year-old boy, I searched far and wide for a thick, wide belt that would outlast me, something that would make me a man. My search continued for many years, to no avail. How many wussy belts I've gone through, is disheartening. Enter the Old Bull. That was almost half a decade ago, and, while I have begun to show my years, the Old Bull has not aged a day. The sun now shines upon my face, and the peasants grovel at my feet as I walk by with this Beast around my waist. My life is different now than it was before I wore an Old Bull. This is what it's like wearing a man's belt. Perhaps the only reason SBL doesn't offer it in a 2-prong version is because something that hardcore is likely federally regulated.
