Product Details & Care
A black leather ratchet belt with stitched edges and a plate ratchet buckle, top-grain leather strap, no holes, belt with ratchet in sizes 30 to 42. Made by Hedonist Chicago.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I size this black stitched leather ratchet belt?
Order your trouser waist size. The strap ships pre-trimmed. The ratchet track provides about one inch of micro-adjustment in either direction. No holes, the fit isn't restricted to fixed positions. Between sizes, go with the larger.
What does the stitching on this black leather belt do?
The stitching runs along both edges of the strap, a construction detail visible from the front. It adds a formal character to the belt and keeps the leather edge from fraying over time. Black stitching on a black strap is subtle; stitching in a contrasting color would be more visible.
What buckle comes with this black stitched belt?
A plate ratchet buckle with a clean rectangular solid face -- minimal and unfussy. The HC logo is laser-engraved at the center of the face. The buckle detaches from the strap by pressing the release lever and can be swapped with any HC 1.38-inch component.
How does the ratchet mechanism work on this stitched belt?
The strap has a row of teeth inside, the ratchet track. The buckle locks at any position you pull it to. Press the lever to release. Quarter-inch increments throughout the strap length. This belt with ratchet gives you over thirty adjustment positions, far more than a traditional hole-punch belt.
Is this black stitched ratchet belt suitable for dress wear?
Yes. The stitched edge detail adds formality. Black leather at 1.38 inches works across dress and business-casual contexts. At 1.38 inches it fits most trouser loops, for the very slimmest formal loops, a 1.15-inch belt may be better proportioned.
Can this black stitched belt be personalized as a leather belt gift?
Yes, free personalization is available on request. Up to 120 characters on the back of the strap, 1 inch from the tip. Options: Hot Stamping or Gold, Silver, Black, or White Foil Stamping. Font: Goudy Cursive. For custom placement, contact us before ordering. Adds 1 to 2 business days.
