Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the Classic, Settler, and Pioneer belts?

  • Classic Belt – Traditional 5-hole spacing, raw beveled edges, and optional upgrades.
  • Settler Belt – Thicker leather, burnished edges, and roller buckle options.
  • Pioneer Belt – Thickest leather, 7 oblong holes, burnished edges, and pre-conditioned for softness.

 

Which belt is right for me?

🔹 Classic Belt – More supple than the Settler or Pioneer, making it perfect for casual wear and light duty work. If you need a belt for Sunday and Monday, this is your multi-tool—versatile, comfortable, and reliable from day one.

 

🔹 Settler Belt – A thick, stiff belt built for the tradesman, the protector, and the explorer. Designed for heavy use and great for carrying, it’s a rugged, dependable workhorse—the mule of belts. We designed this best to be an affordable workhorse that has everything you need and nothing else. 

 

🔹 Pioneer Belt – The GOLD STANDARD of belts. Thicker, stiffer, and built for those who demand the best. Designed for maximum durability, this is the belt that outlasts them all.

 

No matter which you choose, every Proven Hands™ belt is 100% American-made and crafted for a lifetime of wear.

How do I pick my belt size?

Which belt upgrades should I get?

🔹 7-Hole Upgrade (+$10) – Ideal if you want more size adjustability, especially for weight fluctuations or carrying gear. Recommended for work, EDC (everyday carry), or year-round wear. (Standard belts have 5 holes.)

 

🔹 Burnished Edges (+$10) – Smooths and seals the leather edges for a cleaner, more refined look and added durability. Great if you prefer a refined finish over the rugged, raw edge look. (Included with the Settler and Pioneer belts.)

 

🔹 Extra Buckle ($10-$15) – Adds versatility so you can swap between styles. Ideal if you like to change up your look or want a backup.

 

Want a rugged, no-frills belt? Stick with the standard options. You can't go wrong here.
