CompassionatorYes it's very similar and they say the price of leather has gone up w the price of beef. Also the size reccomendation of 2 inches larger than your pants size, will only get you a belt that barely fits. I wear a 33 jean and needed a 38 belt to uae the middle hole..
lilrkt5 inches will be way too big. I think there has got to be some kind of vanity sizing on the brand of pants HemiRick is wearing.
I wear 33 jeans as well and I purchased a 34 inch belt. It fits in the middle hole for me.

DanielleI just took a look at mine and I cannot tell a difference even with the buckle. How is it "entirely different"? Is it the same leather? Just feel like, as the comment by another, Orion knows the demand, sold a 1000 and knows that it makes more sense to sell 500 at twice the cost. Sort of testing the market and not really offering M-drop buyers a super deal.
CompassionatorIt is not the same belt. It is the same leather and buckle, but is made with raw edges. Please check their site for more details.
We always try to give the best price for each style of belt.
... So should I be adding 5 extra to make it safe for 33" pant for this one too?
