So I just received my custom belt today, and I wanted to share how it looks just in case someone is contemplating a similar setup.

In the photos below, you can see my belt with the following configuration:
• width - 1.25
• color - Antique Brown Water Buffalo
• stitch color - Light Brown
• buckle finish: Silver

It is shiny and not very dark overall. If you want a really dark color, then Antique Brown Water Buffalo is not a good choice.

Fits to size well, and the Pioneer Cut is awesome. I do not have any doubts about the quality (it is not my first Pioneer belt).

This is my second work/dress belt. I've had my first one for over 4 years and it has help up wonderfully. I wanted to get a second black belt and after looking at the stores around where I live, I figured why pay $40 for some cheap POS when I can spend a little extra, support a company I believe in, and enjoy a belt from them for years to come.

I purchased over their July 4th holiday sale. I received consistent updates when my belt was starting production, when it was finishing, and then when it was shipping out. It arrived within two-ish weeks (I think, don't quote me on it) after the holiday weekend. The end product was exactly what I wanted. The pioneer cut (the hole placement) helps me get the belt exactly where it is comfortable for me depending on the pants or shorts I'm wearing. Hands down, one of the best belts I have ever owned. I will definitely be ordering again when I need more.

Side Note: I stated I wouldn't be upset if they drew a phoenix rising out of the ashes, and they did not disappoint.

Outstanding quality and design!

Great product and craftsmanship. I’m happy to shop with local folks.

I have owned the belt for less than month, but have work it every day. The belt is very sturdy. It does a great job of holding my pants up due to the more precise adjustment holes. The belt is also comfortable and doesn't dig into my skin when I tighten it.
Amazing balance of traits. I hope it lasts as long (30 years) as the belt it is replacing, which I snagged from my dad in the 90's.

So far so good! 1.5” width is perfect. Leather is nice and sturdy but not uncomfortable. Of course the 1/2” hole spacing is great. Depending on if I’m wearing work pants vs jeans vs dress pants, my “belt size” can differ. Loving it so far. The crazy horse leather looks awesome too.

I purchased a brown elephant leather belt 4 years ago and I wear it daily. Quality is unmatched.

You will never find in today's world the way Pioneer backs their products. I ordered a dress/everyday belt with all the bells and whistles color, stitching black buckle. I got a custom deadlift belt which came out unbelievable best belt I ever had in my life and I had some belts I am 65 and still lifting strong. Back to the dress belt it looks great it is about 8 inches short and me at 265 lb's and a 1.25 wide belt you can not see it but thats on me. When I call up I thought I was going to be beat. Not only she going to make me a new belt she going to make it wider all at no charge and on top of that she tells me they will start working on it right away. That's what I call taking care of your customer you won't find that at any of the other places.

Only had the belt a couple of days but love everything about it. The color is amazing, the stitching takes it to another level, and it is super comfortable. Will be ordering more!

So far I've purchased 4 of the 1.25 work/gun belts- 2 before the "Pioneer Cut" spacing and 2 after. The pre-spacing belts were gifts, post-spacing were for me, and I have to say they are awesome belts. Especially with the new hole spacing and color options.

Well made, sturdy belt. I have worn it everyday since I got it and couldn't be happier with the purchase. This belt is well worth the money particularly if you conceal or open carry. If this belt EVER wears out I will be buying one again.

I have one pioneer cut EDC belt, and now looking to purchase my second work/dress belt during the October sale. For the price, quality, and customization, these will always be my go to for a new belt. The pioneer cut is also perfect for when I want to wear this belt over the EDC, but still carry. The offset holes give me the extra adjustability I need to avoid carrying too tight or too loose.

I love the Pioneer Cut Work Belt. It always fits perfectly. I find myself using different holes depending on the pants I'm wearing and the time of day (level of water weight I'm holding). If I wear jeans its a slightly bigger hole and if it's chinos I'm in a slightly tighter hole. Best belt for the money you can ever have.

Great belt. I got just the basic untreated leather and it looks well made and rustic. Only criticism is that I would like it to be an inch or two longer than it is, so I would suggest ordering a size or two up.

The Crazy Horse Water Buffalo work belt is my favorite, I like the way it ages as it is worn. I have a basic treated one as well which I do not wear as often and is a bit more stiff. Both are top quality belts. The Pioneer Cut makes it easy for me to adjust, working in the trades it happens often. Only thing I wish for is an option with a bit more width of the same material. Great company!

I love this belt! Very rustic, but well made. Best belt I've ever had and honestly, I won't be buying my belts from anywhere else. Awesome craftsmanship and the feel of actual this leather is amazing. Can't wait to purchase my next belt!
