Waist belt without buckle
Waist belt without buckle
How to choose the size?
Put your jacket or overcoat (or jeans) on, depends on what you want to wear the belt over. Take another belt, tighten comfortly and mark its buckle position. Put it off, lay it flat and measure the marked length. Let it assume you got 102 cm (39 ½ in.). Look to the chart below: 102 cm is in the middle of gap 96-108 cm for belt size 110. You should take this size. Sizes 105 and 115 also fit you but you won't be able to wear 105 over winter uniform or to tighen 115 if you wear harder equipment.
The tongue has 7 paired holes for the buckle at a distance of 2 cm from each other. The buckle should sit on the middle hole so that it can be adjusted by 6 cm in each direction.
Divide cm to 2.54 to get inches.

The color of the reverse side may vary from batch to batch: it can be light beige, beige, reddish‑beige, and other similar shades. This is high‑quality, dense natural cattle leather. All belts are black on the outside.
You can buy a buckle separately on our website. It's impossible to wear the belt without a buckle. We offer all basic buckle types made of steel or aluminum as well as rare buckles. If you need a tab for a buckle you can buy it separately. You can wear a buckle without a tab (tabs for some buckles are not obligatory).
This is waist belt of average quality for a good price. It's made of tight and resilient bull leather. Leather is not pressed, of natural colour. Smooth side of leather is inside, that sets German (and some European) leather equipment apart from others. Black finish is on face (outer) side. Leather parts are hewn. No manufacturer's stamp.
The belt must stand weight of equipment and not slack, that's why it is rigid enough. Cheap copies of these belts are usually soft (and this is inadmissible for such belts). Cheap copies often have dark colour (dark-brown, black from every side) and made of chemical but not vegetable tanned leather. Dark soft leather is relatively cheap and German manufacturers didn't use it.
The steel hooks are painted in "Stumpfgrau" (light gray) color, the standard color for German steel fittings. There are a lot of shades of these colors.

Select the size over the jacket or greatcoat you intend to wear.

Historical reference
The German Second World War equipment belt combined blackened leather with a separate buckle and adjustable tongue. It supported belt equipment, with Y-straps helping distribute heavier loads over the shoulders.
