We do not offer printed catalogs. All of our products are listed on BullhideBelts.com. Most companies have gone away from catalogs these days due to the huge costs of printing and shipping.
We do not offer custom engraving or names so the item can be returned for possible sizing issues. You may be able to get a local leather shop or shoe shop to engrave our items for you but this could void the warranty and return policy. Please try on all items for size before altering the item.
We only offer the items listed on our website and do not custom make items or do prototype work. There are huge costs involved in creating new designs and getting molds and dies made. We offer many styles of belts and wallets on our site so we may have something similar to yours.
Yes. Please visit our HOW TO VIDEOS page on the bottom footer links for a video on how to remove the buckle. Most of the belts are made with Chicago screws so you can change out the buckle and use your own. View details on the product page to see how the buckle is attached and if the buckle is removable. You would take our buckle off and put yours on when you receive the belt. We are unable to have buckles mailed to us. Please note that your buckle may require a certain style or thickness of a belt. We are unable to guarantee our belt will fit your buckle since we make the belt for our hardware. Please contact us if you need further help.
We no longer make odd size belts. Most of our belts are available in even sizes from 32 to 54 inches. Larger sizes of 56" to 60" are available in the "large size belts" category. If you have a current Bullhide Belt that is an odd size, please note that we changed our belt sizing in 2016. Please measure your belt as detailed on our website to calculate the new size needed.
The hole options are listed for each product in the description. We stock the belts and pull and ship by SKU number so we do not accidentally mail the wrong item to customers. We are unable to alter the holes in the belt and they ship as detailed online. We do offer holes with more holes so just sort by the number of holes needed on the menu.
If you happen to lose a screw or want to change out your buckle, we sell extra belt hardware at cost on our website. Please visit our extra belt hardware page.
Chicago screws can work loose in time with the vibration of wearing the belt. We torque them down tight so this is rare but can happen. We put in our shipping confirmation email to check the screws once in a while or you can glue them together with a small drop of Loctite glue or metal Super Glue. We do not glue them so customer can remove the buckle to polish it or switch it out.
We offer belts in sizes 30 to 60. This fits pant sizes 28-58. Most belts are available from 32"-54". We have a section for larger size belts 56" plus. Size 30" belts can be found under the 1" wide belts section of our site. A 30" is tiny so just make sure this is correct by measuring your current belt.
We offer many different high quality buckles on our website. The description of the buckle should list the details of the buckle and the bullet points of the belt. Our buckles are very high quality compared to store bought belts. If you need a nickel free buckle those are listed under the BELTS menu - SHOP BELTS - BELTS WITH NICKEL FREE BUCKLES
We do not carry reversible belts. We have looked into this and tested many reversible buckles. Most reversible buckles swivel on a pin which can break easily. We only carry buckles and belts that are made to last decades if not a lifetime.
Reversible belts are also made out of two very thin low grade pieces of leather which we do not want to carry and put our brand name on. We only sell high quality leather products that will last. We do not recommend any reversible belts on the market, order two belts it will last you much longer and be less expensive in the long run.
No. This is a myth proven by that Myth Busters TV show. It would take a huge magnet like they use to lift cars to erase the data on your credit card strip. Something with a powered magnet.
We use a tool to torque down the screws on the belt so they do not work loose and fall off with the vibrations of wearing the belt. Normally you can just use a flat head screwdriver to unscrew the screws and change out the buckle. If that doesn't work, wrap a piece of sticky tape around your finger (sticky out) to hold the smooth side of the screw. Please visit this link for a helpful video on how to do this. CLICK HERE
We offer a basket weave embossed belt that gives you the look of a braided belt but the durability of one solid piece of leather. The basket weave pattern is embossed (pressed) into the leather with a machine and is permanent. We do not offer braided belts because those fall apart too easily. Once one strand gets cut the entire belt starts to come undone.

The main difference is the thickness and stiffness of the leather. Bullhide (1/4") Max Thickness is 14+ ounce leather. It has stiffer qualities and is a great casual, work, or gun belt. Bullhide (3/16") leather is 10-12 ounce leather and is more of a casual or dress thickness belt. We do offer a few 1/8" thick belts which is similar to the thickness a store sells. Normally the thicker the belt the more durable the leather.
If you want a heavy duty thicker belt you would go with the 1/4" thick but if not go with the 3/16" thick. Please note that thickness of leather is approximate since these are natural hides and can vary slightly from hide to hide.
Please visit our SIZING DIRECTIONS page for a short video on how to calculate your belt size. Its best to measure a current belt if you have one. If not, it will explain how to use your pants waist size to figure out your belt size.
To keep up with demand and turnaround times we just make new belts and do not make alterations of old belts or belts that are not ours. Some customers who lose weight take their belts to a local shoe repair or leather shop and they can cut off the buckle end and resize the belt smaller from the buckle by four or more inches. If the belt has stitching it is harder to resize.
Some styles of belts like the ranger, steel core, and money belts can not be resized.
