Have you looked at the belts at Beltology? I've been thinking about getting my DH one--they don't use holes.

OP here. Didn't realize there was such an option. With a little googling, I was able to find ratchet belts. I think we might give that a try. They look dressy enough for work and allow a more custom fit. Thanks!

I don't want to punch extra holes in a belt b/c that never looks as nice. It's not just about holding his pants up, but it's gotta look good.

You're welcome... it's what the military has been using for years.

Punch a hole in it in the right spot.

I don't understand. Don't all belts have holes one inch apart or so?

Custom leather belts. Select the size and how far apart you want the other holes. English bridle leather is thicker and firmer than calf skin, but can be just as dressy.

You can buy a tool for punching holes in leather, or take it to a shoe repair shop. They can probably even shorten the belt, if you really want, so it doesn't overlap so much.

He might also consider a woman's belt. A medium woman's belt would probably work well. Try Ralph Lauren.

my husband is the same size. try some of the mall stores that sell for older teens as well. you def won't have a problem with european sizes. just go down one size and wear the belt bigger than trying a 32.

My husband wears size 33 pants and we have never had this issue. He has 3 or 4 belts. 2 I bought at Ernest Alexander online and 1 I got at Salvatore Feragamo. I just buy a 34 and he uses one of the holes that were on the belt when we got it.

Or get one with a friction buckle?

Can you make your own belt hole?

DH wears a 31" waist pants. We can deal with him being an off size b/c some stores do sell 31" dress pants or we can get them tailored. But belts are another story. Anyone know of someone who sells off size belts? If he gets a 32" belt, the holes are not in the right place and belts I've found only come in even sizes. Too bad those awful woven leather belts aren't in fashion.
