Questions, answered

Build time depends on the tier, the number of plates and whether your artwork still needs drawing. We confirm your exact build time in writing on your quote, before you pay anything. We would rather give you a date we can hold than a generic estimate that slips.

Often, yes. Tell us the date when you send your build or enquiry and we will confirm whether it is achievable before you commit. If it is tight, we will say so rather than accept the order and miss it.

Shipping is free to the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom. We ship worldwide; delivery to other countries is quoted with your order so there are no surprises at the end.

Measure around your waist where the belt will actually sit, over the clothing you will wear it with. A championship belt is worn loose over the hip, so add a few inches to a trouser waist measurement. Adult, Kids and Mini sizes are available, and Mini is a display size rather than a wearable one. If you are between sizes, send us your measurement and we will set the snap positions to match.

Start in the Belt Builder: choose your silhouette, plates, leather and engraving, and upload artwork if you have it. Send it to us and we work the design up into plate artwork. You review and confirm the design, then we machine, plate and assemble the belt by hand and ship it to you.

That is normal. Send a description, a photo, a logo file or a rough sketch on paper and our team will draw the plates from it. Most of what we build starts as an idea rather than a finished file.

Yes. Fantasy leagues, boxing and MMA gyms, wrestling promotions, corporate recognition awards and one-off gifts are a large part of what we build. Tell us how many you need and when, and we will quote it.

Brass is the lightest and most affordable, and takes a standard etch. Zinc is die-cast and holds a much deeper etch, so the relief and shadow detail are noticeably sharper — this is where most replica work sits. CNC plates are machined from solid stock rather than cast, which produces the deepest and crispest detail we can make, and the most weight. The metal is the single biggest factor in how a belt looks in person.

Yes. It is genuine 24k gold plating applied over a polished nickel base, not a yellow lacquer or paint. Plating over a polished base is what gives the finish its depth — a plated belt over an unpolished base looks flat and dulls faster.

Our cowhide straps are genuine full-grain leather, and our premium builds use a sealed, painted edge rather than a raw cut edge. Entry-tier belts use genuine leather. We will always tell you which one you are getting before you order.

Orders are arranged directly with us rather than checked out on the website. You will receive a written quote with the final price and payment details before anything is made. We do not currently take card payments on the site.

Custom and engraved belts are made to order, so they are treated differently from stock items. Our refund policy sets out exactly what applies to each; please read it before ordering, and ask us if anything is unclear.
