FAQs
Sizing & Fit
How do I choose the right size? (Specifically for those between sizes like 36–38, or those who found the "OG" Small too tight/loose).?
The Max Leather Belt is the only style in our lineup that runs a bit small. If you fall between two sizes (such as 36–38), we always recommend sizing up. For example, a size Large is typically suggested for those in that range to ensure you have enough "room to groove."
How do these sizes compare to the "OG" (Original) Groove Belt?
The Max Leather runs small. If you already own an OG or Ultra belt, you should go one size up when ordering the Max Leather version.
Can the belt be trimmed or adjusted manually? If so, does trimming void the Groove Guarantee?
No, the Max Leather belt cannot be trimmed, it features a built-in internal adjustment system. To adjust the fit, open the hinge, slide the webbing to your desired length, and close the hinge to lock it in place. A sliding button allows for micro-adjustments throughout the day. Trimming or modifying the belt will void the warranty.
What is the exact width of the strap? Will it fit through standard Dickies, dress slacks, or smaller/narrower belt loops?
The Max Leather Belt is designed to fit most standard belt loops. The strap webbing is 1.33 inches (33.9mm) wide, while the buckle is 1.77 inches wide. Since standard Dickies work pants usually accommodate belts up to 1.5 inches, this belt will fit them and most standard dress slacks comfortably.
Is there a "Slim" or "Low Profile" version available for pants with very small loops?
The Max Leather does not have a slim version. For smaller loops or dress wear, we recommend our Low Profile Belt, which is our slimmest and most refined design.
Durability & Performance
How does "Stretch-Tech" work in a leather belt, and how does the stretch/durability compare to standard leather?
Unlike standard rigid leather, our "Stretch-Tech" is built directly into the full-grain leather webbing. You get the classic look of a leather belt with added flexibility and comfort that moves with you throughout the day.
How durable is the belt over time?
The Max Leather Belt combines full-grain leather with our proven OG buckle design for long-term durability. The anodized aluminum buckle and "Stretch-Tech" leather are designed to resist the warping and deforming common in cheaper leather belts. If anything does happen please be sure to check out our Groove Guarantee!
Is the Max Leather Belt good for concealed carry (CCW)?
The Max Leather Belt was not designed for CCW use. The Max Leather Belt was not designed for CCW use.
Can it support heavy tools, water bottles, or side satchels for work use?
The Max Leather Belt is designed for comfort and style, not heavy loads. We do not recommend it for carrying heavy tools, water bottles, or side satchels.
Materials & Safety
Is it 100% full-grain leather, or is it bonded to synthetic materials?
It’s the OG belt you love, but upgraded with a premium genuine cow leather strap.
What metal is the buckle made of? Does it contain nickel, and is the belt REACH-compliant (free of PFAS, lead, or chromium)?
The buckle is made of A380 anodized aluminum. It contains less than 0.5% nickel. Additionally, all our products are compliant with REACH, RoHS, Prop 65, and PFAS regulations.
How strong are the magnets in the Max Leather compared to the OG belt? Does the buckle hold securely during daily movement (sitting, bending), or does it ever unclip/slip unintentionally?
The Max Leather belt uses high-strength N42 neodymium magnets with a residual flux density of 13,200 Gauss. They are designed to snap securely and stay latched during normal daily activities like sitting or bending.
Will the buckle set off airport metal detectors?
The Max Leather Belt may set off metal detectors. It contains a significant amount of metal and is not TSA-approved. For travel, we recommend the Ultra Belt with a polymer buckle for a more TSA-friendly option!
Are the buckles interchangeable or available in other finishes?
Currently, we do not offer interchangeable buckles or alternative finishes for the Max Leather. It is available is currently available in Black with a black buckle or Brown with a gunmetal buckle only.
How do I clean and maintain the Max Leather Belt?
Clean gently and store properly to maintain quality. Dust with a dry cloth regularly. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and distilled water. Do not oversaturate. We recommend hanging your belt to keep it straight and in top shape. A belt hanger works wonders, or get creative and make your own!
