The Original Instructor Belt™ was developed more than 17 years ago and has been refined ever since, now offering higher quality and more options than ever. It is a very strong belt
with a specially designed V-ring buckle coated with a technical non-glare black coating. The belt was originally designed to clip into a secure system while "instructing" others in high places. Although
not designed to absorb a fall, the standard 3-stitch Instructor Belt™ provides peace of mind over the alternative -- no protection at all. However, it has also proven to be a fantastic everyday pants belt for
casual or outdoor use and concealed-carry. It is widely used by fire, rescue, police, special operations, shooters and everyday folks that just like the way it looks and works.

Belt Sizing
|
|
These belts are sized by a true measured belt size to the nearest single inch, not a two inch range. We ask that you put a cloth tape through the belt
loops of the pants that you would normally wear the belt with, pulling as tightly as you typically pull a belt, and measure to the nearest single inch. From an ideal fit you will have an
1-3/4" of adjustment in each direction. This is usually enough of an adjustment to cinch down for something heavy on the outside of the belt, or loosen the belt for an
in-the-waistband holster.
You can also measure by laying a leather belt out flat on a table, and measure from the inside
edge of the buckle away from the hinge to the hole that you currently use (it is important that
the inside length of the buckle be included in the measurement,) and as above, measure to the nearest single inch. |

The standard 3-stitch model offers very good load-bearing and comfort. The 5-stitch model
is our most popular and offers two additional stitch lines along the length of the belt which significantly stiffen it and enhance load bearing. It's vertical rigidity is similar to a high-quality leather gunbelt. The
Combat Shooters Model™ (C.S.M.) adds a polyethylene insert which adds even more vertical rigidity. This model is slightly thicker than the 3- or 5-stitch models.
