What size should I order?
For The Marshal, take your pant size and subtract 2 (pant 36 is size 34). For The Sentinel, choose the range that holds your pant size (Small 28 to 32, Medium 32 to 36, Large 36 to 40, X-Large 40 to 44); on an edge, choose the larger size. Size up one for inside-the-waistband carry (including appendix and small of back). That is the next size up on either belt; for The Sentinel, on an edge start from the smaller size, and X-Large has no size up. No need to size up for outside the waistband or without a holster. The fit finder does the math.
How fine is the Sentinel's adjustment?
It clicks in 1/4 in steps (6.35 mm), so any 4 in of adjustment gives you 17 positions. The Marshal's holes are 1 in apart, which gives you 5.
Do I have to cut The Sentinel to fit?
No. Most ratchet belts make you cut them. The Sentinel arrives sized and finished.
Will it sag under a holster?
No. The spring-steel core keeps it from sagging, rolling or stretching. If it ever splits, sags, rolls or stretches over 1.5 in, the lifetime warranty covers it.
Can I wear it with a suit?
Yes. The finish is dress-ready, so it works with slacks and a blazer as well as jeans. Wear Classic Black with black shoes and Rich Brown with brown.
