I forgot to inform you all that I had to get the leather punch out and add an extra hole betwixt two others, for (a bit like Goldilocks) one setting was too loose, whilst the next was too tight.

My waist must be metric.

Many, faced with similar circumstances, would simply add an additional daily pie to their diet.

This forum is very useful! Bought a new belt at a high street retailer a few weeks ago and it is already delaminating. Not impressed, so following the recommendation from @mik I've visited Arnold's online.

An excellent choice @DeskJockey sir. 8-)

And - in great news - I sometimes use the OEM aperture that is "one tighter" than the aftermarket puncture I created - meaning I am approximately 0.5" less fatterer than around this time last year. 8-)

Or possibly that the leather has stretched a smidge. :geek: :(

Single strip of leather - as every discerning gentleman demands.

So if we meet, and my trousers end up at my ankles - you can now be reassured that it was intentional.

How is that worn? As a buckle I don't think it'll be easy to wear.

He's already exceeding the maximun recommended daily amount. Last count was 26. He even invented a new class of supper pie and sets an alarm for midnight pies.

I would like to lodge a formal complaint. The buckle on the belt I bought from the establishment mentioned here just snapped AND (wagging finger in the air) said establishment has closed!

I recommend fashioning some sort of fix using cable ties and duct tape.

Also - have you considered eating less pies?

My Sister's ex fiance made me one. He lives somewhere on Arran and is called Luke. He used to have a motorbike and cheated on my sister with a lady named Julie. THat should be enough to help you track him down!

I believe those ones are used to tie the neck to the knees, a different kind of clasp.
