Frequently Asked Questions

What Is An Anson Belt?+
An Anson Belt is a micro-adjustable, hole-less belt. Instead of 5 holes 1" apart as in the case of most belts, an Anson Belt has 30+ options ¼" apart, always giving you the perfect fit. These 30+ sizing increments, or micro-adjustments are enabled due to a ratchet style track system intricately sewn into the back of the strap. The unique Anson buckle has an auto-locking mechanism that catches on the "teeth" of the track system as the strap slides through the buckle. This allows for 30+ precise sizing options always giving you the perfect fit. All Anson Belts come in an extra long length of 56" inches, comfortably fitting up to a 50" waist. If a smaller size is needed, simply follow the instructions included with your order and "trim-to-fit" to the desired length.

What kind of leather do you use?+
In 2015 we transitioned all of our formal leather belt fronts to premium full grain leather. Even though our cost increased our prices remained the same. Full grain leather is the most durable and strongest of leathers. Full grain comes from the very top layer of the hide, just below the hair, and contains all of the tightly packed grain. All of our formal Anson Belt backs are made of genuine leather.
Our Vegetable Tanned “casual” leathers have a full grain leather front and split grain leather backing. Our Italian Calfskin straps are handmade in the USA with an Italian Calfskin front and a full grain saddle leather back.
The Nylon's, Canvas, and Cloth all feature a microfiber backing for its durability and resiliency to scratching and cracking, as well as being vegan.
What are your buckles made of?+
The base metal of our buckles is a Zinc alloy. That means that it’s mostly Zinc (95%), with 3-4% Aluminum and a mixture of other metals making up the remainder.
Are your buckles interchangeable?+
All Anson buckles and straps of the same size are interchangeable. For example, all 1.25" buckles and straps are interchangeable with each other, as are the 1.5" buckles/straps.

Do your buckles contain nickel?+
Yes, just about all of our buckles contain nickel-plating, except for our "nickel free" option that you can find here.
How do you size your Anson Belt?+
Each Anson Belt comes in an extra long length of 56", comfortably fitting up to a 50" waist without having to size. If a smaller size is needed, you can easily "trim-to-fit" any size you need. There will be instructions included with your order showing you exactly how to size your Anson Belt. In a nutshell though, you will just need to follow these easy steps... • Try on your Anson Belt by looping through your belts holes as you would normally wear it. • Measure how much excess leather you will need to trim to accommodate a desired fit. • Remove the belt from your waist, and detach the buckle from the strap. • With a regular pair of scissors, trim the length that you measured from the raw end of the strap that attaches to the buckle. • Re-attach the buckle and try back on around your waist. Repeat if needed. *Note- it’s always best to cut less than you think at first, as you can always trim more if needed!

What is the largest size strap you offer?+
All Anson straps come in a extra long length of 55". This will accommodate a comfortable fit for someone wearing up to a 50" pant size without having to size the strap. If a smaller size is needed you are able to trim to any desired length.
I purchased a Gift Card, how will I receive it?+
All Anson Gift Cards will be emailed to you electronically after checkout. You can either print the email with the gift card code to gift to someone, or just pass along the code itself. If you or your recipient have any questions or trouble with their Gift Cards please contact us as support@ansonbelt.com.
Are your widths EXACTLY 1.25" and 1.5"?+
No, most factories use the metric system; therefore, the "industry standard" for 1.25" and 1.5" straps are just shy of that mark. Our 1.25" straps are actually 30mm (1.18") Our 1.5" straps are actually 35mm (1.38") We simply say 1.25" and 1.5" because it is more understandable to the customer base that is familiar with the Imperial system rather than Metric.

What is the shipping cutoff time?+

It is always our goal to have orders placed Monday through Friday (excluding major holidays) before 1:00 Eastern Standard Time, ship the same day. If we have a sale, or experience an un-expected surge of orders, that may delay an order from shipping for a day or two. Orders placed after 1:00 on Friday through the weekend will normally go out on Monday.

If an order is placed late on Sunday evening, it is likely that, because of the amount of orders built up from the weekend, it will not ship until Tuesday. During our busiest times of the year (Week leading up to Fathers Day + Black Friday through Christmas Eve) we get orders out as quickly as possible, however, some slight delays are possible.

We are a small, family business that is super easy to work with. If you need to make absolutely sure that your order is shipping as soon as possible, just reply to your confirmation email, or reach out to our support@ansonbelt.com email and let us know. We will do everything we can to insure your order is shipped as soon as possible.

As always, give us a call (843-409-4030) or send us an email if you have any questions at all. Our online “chat” service unfortunately wouldn’t be able to give you much help with shipping, as they are a third party service that would need to consult with our internal customer service team, but if you reach out to our support@ansonbelt.com email, we’ll get back to you promptly and are always happy to help.
How do I change or cancel my order?+
How do I change or cancel my order? We have extremely fast shipping. Usually, within the same day if payment is received before 1:00 EST Mon-Fri. To cancel or change an order, please email us at support@ansonbelt.com to ensure we do not ship the order.

Can I purchase a mixed width Box Set (1.25" & 1.5")?+

Due to the EVA foam inserts in our Box Set packaging, unfortunately we aren’t able to offer mixed width buckles/straps packaged together. However, if you add the individual straps and buckles to your cart, as individual items (not complete belts), it will give you the special Box Set pricing. They won’t come packaged in our Box Set packaging, but rather our Anson travel bags for the straps and and buckle boxes for the buckles.

Let us know if you have any questions or trouble with that at all, we’re happy to help.
