Adjusting Design – One Size Fits Most
Colonel Littleton designed our belt collection with more than a nod to the military and sportsman’s tradition. When the belt first came out, the general reaction was “Why hasn’t someone thought of this before?”
The uniqueness of this collection of belts is in its’ adjusting feature. The traditional front buckle belt allows only three inches of fluctuation. Colonel’s belt adds another 8 inches, adjusting in one-inch increments. This means that one size fits almost everyone, which also makes it a great gift item.
Here’s how it works. Rather than adjusting and readjusting the belt in the front and messing up the leather, you park it in the middle position, where it belongs, and make any necessary adjustments on the side. That way if you have on bulkier trousers, a heavyweight shirt, or layers for warmth… if you lose a few pounds or, heaven forbid, gain a few… your belt accommodates all these variations nicely.
Colonel chose sturdy Italian Bridle Leather for these belts which is perfect since it resists stretching. This heavier leather comes from a tannery in Santa Croce Sull’Arno, Italy. Aside from being one of the most functional and practical belt collections on the market, this collection looks uncommonly good… especially with khakis and jeans, for which it was designed.

Belt Fit Guide:
- Our belts are sized based on the exact inside circumference of the belt when buckled in the front, center position.
- In addition to the standard front buckle positions, our unique side adjusting feature allows another 8 inches of adjustment in 1-inch increments.
- Measure your waist circumference and compare to our sizes to determine fit. Our belts sizes should compare to your waist size rather than your pants size, since pants sizing may vary by manufacturer.

This is one of the best belts you could buy. It has a great look and wears well. The quality and performance are excellent. I have purchased another one in black. It is well worth the money!
Thank you so much for your review and kind words, Tim! We hope both belts serve you well for many years to come. We appreciate your support!
Just received the belt I ordered less than a week ago. It is more than I expected! The personal thank you card and little gifts just added to the enjoyable experience. I will be recommending this company to everyone I know looking for quality leather products. I will also be planning on more purchases! Thank you again!
Hi Zack! We truly appreciate your support and review so much! Thank you for choosing us and sharing the word about our company. We hope your Belt serves you well for many years to come.
I just bought one of these magnificent belts to replace one than was 35 years old and had ripped. It probably wouldn’t even have ripped if I had cared for it. This product is not only beautiful and extremely durable, but well made. I can’t throw out the old so I may turn it into keychains or something.
Dan, we’re glad your first belt served you well for so many years and hope your new one lasts even longer! We appreciate your support and kind review. We’d love to see what you do with the old belt!
