BULLIANT

Belts that land where your waist actually is

Size desk

BULLIANT • belts, socks, clogs

Strap sizes measured strictly by the inch

We make leather ratchet belts, web straps, wallets, socks, and slides. Letters on a belt tag mean nothing because different lines use different ladders. We track the true length from 26 to 56 inches so the strap fits around your trousers.

Start with the ratchetsWork out your size

Track instead of holes

Our 35 ratchet belts lock into a track sewn inside the leather strap. That is a bite every quarter inch, instead of a jump of a whole inch between one punched hole and the next.

Cut down at home

We build 48 straps to trim down at your own workbench. You open the buckle, cut off the extra leather, and clamp the teeth back down.

One strap two colours

We make 7 reversible belts with a buckle that flips around. One side shows black leather and the other side shows brown leather.

Sets of several pieces

We pack 45 listings with multiple straps, spare buckles, or paired socks. Socks mostly, though the leather goes out in twos as well.

One entry per listing: colourways of the same belt share a rating, so showing all four would be the same belt four times.

How we work

Ratchet teeth lock every quarter inch

Punched holes sit an inch apart and wear out at the edges. Our sewn track catches inside the buckle on the quarter inch, so the strap stops where you stop.

Trim excess strap length with shears

A long strap gets in the way of your belt loops. We build 48 models that let you remove the buckle, shorten the strap, and lock the closure back in place.

Size ladders disagree across the range

Across 67 printed ladder rows, 28 waist numbers carry conflicting letter names. We ignore arbitrary letters and build to your measured waist from 26 to 56 inches.

Three steps

How to land it first time

  1. Run a flexible tape measure through the belt loops of your trousers while wearing them.
  2. Match your measured number against the 60 listings that state the exact waist span in inches.
  3. Pick the longer size on our 48 trimmable straps and cut the leather tail down at home.

Counted from 67 distinct ladders printed on our own listings.

Men's Ratchet Leather Belt Trimmable 1 3/8″

The one that outsold the rest

Men's Ratchet Leather Belt Trimmable 1 3/8″

A clean black strap with no punched holes down the front. We build this one with a concealed track underneath that catches inside the buckle in quarter inch steps, so you get thirty distinct stops across seven and a half inches of travel. It fits waists from 40 to 44 inches right out of the presentation box.

Keeping them

Care that actually matters

Worth doing

  • Wipe leather straps with a dry cotton cloth when dust settles on the grain.
  • Rinse dirt from web belts under cold water and hang them up to dry.
  • Wash cushioned athletic socks inside out in cold water so the cushioning keeps its loft.
  • Brush dried mud off the cork footbed with a stiff horsehair shoe brush.

Not worth doing

  • Do not submerge leather ratchet belts in water or leave them on hot radiators.
  • Do not run webbing belts through a hot dryer because the fibres shrink.
  • Do not use chlorine bleach on elastic socks or dark woven fabrics.
  • Do not soak clogs with cork footbeds in standing water or puddles.

Why we build belts by actual inches

We cut leather and webbing for working waists between 26 and 56 inches. Sizing letters shift from line to line, and our 67 printed ladders disagree at 28 different points. We tell you the inches on the strap so you get a belt that buckles properly.

Belts wallets socks and clogs

We make 114 colourways of 58 designs across our workshop lines. The collection holds Prong and Braided Leather Belts, Ratchet Belts and Buckles, along with Web, Stretch and Tactical Belts. We also build Wallets and Money Clips, Athletic Socks, and Clogs, Slides and Water Shoes.

We split our sections by how you measure them rather than how they look. Belts follow your measured waist across 26 to 56 inches, while socks and clogs follow shoe sizes. Wallets and money clips are not sized at all.

Things worth knowing before you pick

  • 35 belts close on a track, 25 of the rest on a buckle or a clasp.
  • 48 straps are meant to be cut down at home.
  • Belt widths run 1 1/4″, 1 3/8″, 1 1/2″ across 58 listings.
  • The busiest waist is 34″, covered by 49 belts.
  • 17 of our ladders also print a centimetre number, which is a second naming system living inside the same table.

Where to start

If you have a tape measure, check your waist over your everyday trousers and match our numbers. If you do not have a tape, run a piece of string through your belt loops and measure that flat against a ruler.

Mr Hewett on a 2-Pack Men Ratchet Leather Belt-Trimmable 1 3/8″

I’m very happy with this slim leather wallet. It fits comfortably in my pocket without feeling bulky, and the cards are easy to access when needed. The cards stay securely in place without falling out. Overall, it’s a practical, well-designed wallet and a good product for everyday use.

Ahmed Mohiuddin Mohammed Abdul on a Slim Leather Wallet Metal Case Money Clip

It's the best belt I've owned. It forms its way around your body. Instead of forcing its way around your body and squeezing you to death. This belt is so comfortable it's doesn't even feel like I have a belt on.

Tyler Baumbaugh on a Men Ratchet Stretch Belt Multi-Pack-Trimmable 1 1/2″

I’m on my feet 14+ hours a day, so good socks mean everything to me. These are awesome. Good compression without over doing it, soft, don’t slide up or down. All around good product

Dalton Ray Branscum on a Men Cushioned Compression Crew Socks 6Pack

Great practical replacement with more style than the original. The leather on the buckel and a more interesting weave pattern make this a better choice for replacing my last one.

David from Virginia on a Mens Leather Braided Woven Golf Belts Holeless 1 3/8″
