Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the toughest belts on the market.
What makes Hanks Belts different from department store belts?
Unlike mass-produced belts made of bonded or 'genuine' leather that cracks and peels, our belts are crafted from thick, full-grain vegetable-tanned leather. They are designed to last a lifetime and will never break or stretch out.
How do I determine my correct belt size?
A good rule of thumb is to order one size larger than your pant size. For example, if you wear a size 34 pant, we recommend a size 36 belt. If you plan to use an IWB holster, you may want to go up two sizes.
Do your belts come with a warranty?
Yes, we offer an industry-leading 100-year warranty. If your belt ever breaks, snaps, or fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship, we will replace it for free, no questions asked.
Where are Hanks Belts manufactured?
All of our belts are proudly handcrafted in the USA by skilled leather artisans who take pride in creating high-quality, durable American goods.
What is your return and exchange policy?
We offer a 30-day window for returns and exchanges. If the fit isn't perfect or you aren't satisfied with the style, you can return your unworn belt for a full refund or a size swap.
Can I swap the buckle on my belt?
Most of our belts are designed with removable Chicago screws, allowing you to easily swap out the included buckle for your own favorite custom buckle.
