Kore Essentials 1.5" Buffalo Leather Western EDC Belt with Ratchet Buckle

Western style on a belt that fits to the quarter inch. The Kore Essentials Buffalo Leather Western EDC Belt pairs a 1.5" top grain buffalo leather strap with a Kore ratchet buckle, so you dial in your fit in small steps instead of picking a hole. It is made for everyday wear and light carry, at work, at home or out on the town. See all Kore 1.5" EDC belts.

Features

• 1.5" wide, 5 mm thick: the standard Kore EDC width, so the strap takes any Kore 1.5" X-series or Western buckle.
• Hidden ratchet track: over 40 size positions in 1/4" steps and no holes, so you can loosen after a meal or snug up when you load up without unbuckling.
• Power-Core™ reinforced center: adds stiffness and support so the belt holds your gear without sagging, yet stays flexible enough to sit and move all day.
• Top grain buffalo leather outer, Super Fiber inner: two layers built for daily use.
• Load rating up to 6 lbs: total gear weight, worn IWB, OWB or appendix.
• Leather that wears in, not out: buffalo leather has no protective coating, so it picks up a worn shine, softens in color and shows character over time. Rub out small scratches firmly with your fingers.

How to choose

• Buckle: the Western buckles (Bull, Cowboy, Flag, Rodeo, Star, Bison Antique Bronze, Bison Antique Silver, Horse Antique Bronze, Horse Antique Silver) give a classic western look; the X-series buckles (X1 Gunmetal through X13) give a clean modern look. All of them fit the same 1.5" strap and work the same way, so pick the style you like.
• Color: Black, Brown, Coffee, Mocha or Tan buffalo leather.
• Size: one size, Regular (24"-44"), that you cut to your waist. See sizing below.
• Want a second look later? Shop Kore buckles and straps and keepers.

Sizing: measure before you cut

• Find your pant size using the ruler markings printed on the back of the belt.
• Add for how you wear it, then cut. Add 4 inches to your pant size if you wear your gear outside the waistband (OWB), or 6 inches if you wear it inside the waistband (IWB). Cut at that mark with sharp scissors. Example: a 34" pant size is cut at the 38" mark for OWB or the 40" mark for IWB.
• Attach the buckle. Loosen the 2 set screws on the back of the buckle with the included wrench and push the cut end all the way into the toothed slot.
• Lock it in. Clamp the teeth down firmly first, then gently tighten the set screws until they sit flush. Do not overtighten or strip them.
• Check the fit. Feed the belt around your waist from left to right, through the buckle, and tighten until snug. The tip should reach about 3" past your first belt loop.

If your pant size is close to the top of the size range, do not cut. Try the belt on first, then trim.

Cut belts can't be returned or exchanged, so measure twice and cut once. See our return policy.
