Perfect. Thank you.

Thanks again for the help.  Just placed order for belt and buckle.

Does anyone know if the black Tochiqi leather is vegetable tanned only, or chrome (or a combination such as Horween leather)?

[Giles]

i don't know for definite, but veg only I think.

Great, thanks for the reply. Looking forward to a large coming back in stock. Loving my natural tan but I can't quite make it work for business casual. Black on the other hand….

I was actually trying to decide between this one and the IHB-07 and I like this one better than the IHB-07. But there is one question that I would like to clarify. I will be using this one on my IH-721 Khaki Chinos which I have in tag size 32. I just measured the distance between the front 2 belt loops and they are just 8 cm apart. Now going by the dimensions of this belt, the square brass buckle is about 5.7 cm.

Can anyone please tell me what is the distance in cm for the dotted line that I have marked in the image below?

I just want to know if the brass hardware will sit comfortably in front of the pant loop or will it have to fight against the pant loop for space? Do you know what I mean? Can someone help me out?

EDIT: I got the reply from IH service and the measurement between the first blue dot and the 3rd blue dot is roughly 10 cm. Might be useful for anyone else!

Why don't you just send an email to shop@ironheart.co,.uk.  It's the guy's jobs there, to answer questions like that.

I have done that, but I thought my particular question above would be interesting to anyone else as well which is why I posted it here in the first place!

Just placed the order for this beauty in brown!

These belts will last you a lifetime.

@neph93 As a matter of fact that statement applies to every single IH product I guess!

Got this delivered today. As I knew it before and from the recommendation I went with size L and now I'm looking for some ways to make it fit to my size! I have 2 options:

1. The straightforward way of trimming it as mentioned in the forum here. With this approach I guess I need to get my measurements damn right otherwise I will end up messing the belt

2. With this option, I'm thinking of punching a hole (probably the 6th one) in the buckle area. What is the punch type used here? It looks like a "Spade shape".

I'm thinking of doing the option 2, but for that I would need to know the punch type used. Could you please let . me know what punch you used so that I can try to find the same one to be consistent in the holes?
