Frequently Asked Questions

An Anson Belt is a micro-adjustable, hole-less belt. Instead of 5 holes 1" apart, an Anson Belt has 30+ sizing options spaced just ¼" apart — always giving you the perfect fit.

These micro-adjustments are enabled by a ratchet-style track system sewn into the back of the strap. The unique Anson buckle has an auto-locking mechanism that catches the "teeth" of the track as the strap slides through.

All Anson Belts come in an extra long 56" length, comfortably fitting up to a 50" waist. If a smaller size is needed, simply trim-to-fit using the instructions included with your order.

Yes — all Anson buckles and straps of the same width are fully interchangeable. All 1.25" buckles work with all 1.25" straps, and all 1.5" buckles work with all 1.5" straps. Mix and match freely.

Due to the EVA foam inserts in our Box Set packaging, we aren't able to offer mixed-width buckles and straps packaged together. However, if you add individual straps and buckles to your cart as individual items (not complete belts), you'll receive the special Box Set pricing — they'll come in Anson travel bags and individual buckle boxes instead.

Let us know if you have any questions — we're happy to help.

Each Anson Belt comes in an extra long 56" length, fitting up to a 50" waist without any trimming. If you need a smaller size, here's how to trim-to-fit:

• Try on your Anson Belt looped through your belt loops as you would normally wear it.
• Measure how much excess leather needs to be trimmed for a comfortable fit.
• Remove the belt and detach the buckle from the strap.
• With a regular pair of scissors, trim that amount from the raw end of the strap that attaches to the buckle.
• Re-attach the buckle and try it back on. Repeat if needed.

Tip: always cut less than you think at first — you can always trim more, but you can't add it back!

All Anson straps come in an extra long 55" length, accommodating up to a 50" pant size without any trimming. If you need a smaller size, simply trim to any desired length.

Not exactly — most factories use the metric system, so the industry standard is just shy of those marks:

We use 1.25" and 1.5" because it's more familiar to customers using the Imperial system. All buckles and straps within the same stated size remain fully interchangeable.

In 2015 we transitioned all formal leather belt fronts to premium full grain leather — the most durable and strongest leather, from the very top layer of the hide. All formal Anson Belt backs are genuine leather.

Our Vegetable Tanned "casual" leathers feature a full grain front and split grain backing. Our Italian Calfskin straps are handmade in the USA with an Italian Calfskin front and full grain saddle leather back.

Nylon, Canvas, and Cloth straps feature a microfiber backing for durability and scratch/crack resistance — and are fully vegan.

The base metal of our buckles is a zinc alloy — approximately 95% zinc, with 3–4% aluminum and a small mixture of other metals.

Yes — the majority of our buckles contain nickel-plating. If you have a nickel sensitivity, we offer a nickel-free option in our buckles collection.
