Description:
An extra-thick leather ratchet belt, assembled in the USA. The Kore Essentials Ranch belt is 8mm full grain leather with a double reinforced core, made for people who want a western look and a belt that stays stiff under a full day's load. It sits with our Kore EDC belts and pairs only with Kore R Series buckles.
Features
- Extra-thick 8mm full grain leather: a 1.5" wide belt that is noticeably thicker than Kore's standard 5mm EDC belts.
- Double reinforced Power-Core™ center: adds rigidity so the belt carries up to 10 lbs of gear steadily, worn IWB, OWB or appendix.
- Hidden ratchet track, no holes: over 40 positions in 1/4" steps for a micro-adjusted fit.
- USA Made: assembled in the USA with imported materials.
- R Series buckles only: Ranch belts take only Kore R Series buckles; they do not work with X Series buckles. Spare R Series buckles are in Kore buckles.
How to choose
- Buckle: R1 is a clean ranch-style buckle; Bull Skull adds a steer skull design. Each comes in Antique Silver or Antique Brass. All four fit the Ranch strap the same way.
- Color: Black, Tan or Brown full grain leather.
- Size: one size, Regular (24"-44"), cut to fit. See the steps below.
Sizing: measure before you cut
| Size option | Fits waist |
|---|---|
| Regular (24"-44") | 24 to 44 inches |
- Find your pant size using the ruler marks printed on the back of the belt.
- Add for how you wear it. 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). Example: a 34 inch pant size means cutting at the 38 inch mark for OWB or the 40 inch mark for IWB. Cut cleanly with sharp scissors.
- Attach the buckle. Back out the 2 set screws on the back of the buckle with the included wrench, then push the cut end all the way into the toothed side of the buckle.
- Lock it in. Clamp the teeth down firmly first, then snug the set screws until they sit flush. Do not tighten the screws before the teeth are closed, and do not overtighten them.
- Check the fit. Thread the belt left to right through your loops and the buckle and ratchet it snug. The tip should reach about 3 inches 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.

What's included

Questions about the Kore Ranch leather belt
Do X Series buckles fit the Ranch belt?
No. Kore Ranch belts work only with R Series buckles, and R Series buckles fit only the 1.5" Ranch belts. If you want X Series buckle choices, look at the standard Kore EDC belts.
How is the Ranch belt different from the regular Kore leather belt?
It is 8mm thick instead of 5mm, has a double reinforced core and is rated for up to 10 lbs of gear. It is also assembled in the USA with imported materials.
What waist sizes does the Ranch belt fit?
One size fits waists from 24 to 44 inches. Add 4 inches to your pant size for OWB wear or 6 inches for IWB and cut at that mark. If your number is close to 44 inches, try the belt on before cutting.
Is a tip keeper included?
No. Kore does not include a tip keeper with its leather belts.
Is the Kore Ranch leather belt covered by a warranty?
Yes. Kore backs it with a one-year manufacturer's warranty against defects under normal use. Cosmetic wear such as scratches, scuffs or fraying is not covered. We are an authorized Kore Essentials dealer, so contact us and we will handle the claim for you.
