The Hellhound Sizing Standard

How to Measure for a Bespoke Belt

A bespoke gun rig is load-bearing equipment, which means it is only as good as its fit.

Gun belts are crafted and measured entirely differently than a standard department store accessory. Please do not provide us with your pants size. Retail clothing relies on "vanity sizing," meaning a size 34 pant is rarely an actual 34 inches. If you order your pants size, your belt will not fit, and your gear will not carry correctly.

To ensure your belt is built with uncompromising precision, we require a "True Measurement." Grab a flexible tailor's tape measure and follow these three steps:

1. Wear Your Carry Gear Put on the exact style of pants and the typical layers you plan to wear with your gun belt.

2. Find Your Ride Height Gun rigs sit differently depending on the shooter. Wrap the measuring tape around your body exactly where you intend the belt to ride:

• If you carry low on the hips, measure there.

• If you carry high on the natural waist, measure there.

• If this rig will sit directly over the top of a standard pants belt, wrap the tape measure directly over that existing belt.

3. Take the True Measurement Pull the tape measure snug, but do not cinch it aggressively tight. Record the exact number in inches. This is your True Measurement, and it is exactly where we will set the center hole of your new Hellhound belt, giving you plenty of adjustment room in either direction.

The Workshop Policy on Sizing

Because your belt is cut directly from the hide and custom-crafted specifically for the measurement you provide, we cannot accept returns or exchanges for sizing errors. If a belt needs to be completely rebuilt due to an inaccurate measurement provided at checkout, a recrafting fee will apply.

Measure twice, cut once.
