FAQ

Sizing

How do I know my size?

Please view our sizing chart before ordering! Traditional men’s pants & belt sizes are different than traditional women’s belt & pant sizes, and sizing is different from one brand to the next. 

If you aren’t sure about your size, please contact us and we’d be happy to help. 

Cuffs are all sold in one “size” with three hole options to make your cuff fit how you’d like it.

Are belts the same for men and women?

All of our belts are unisex - both in style and size. But sizing differs between mens & women’s apparel and belts from other brands. Be sure to use our sizing chart!

Shipping

How long will it take to get my order?

All of our belts are made-to-order by hand, no assembly lines or machines! Production time takes 2-3 business days, and orders are shipped via UPS 2nd day as soon as they’re complete.

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, we ship all belts free within the continental U.S.A.

Do you offer overnight shipping?

Yes, for an additional fee. Be sure to select that option at check-out, and your order will ship once production is complete.

Do you ship overseas?

Not currently, but we plan to add international shipping in the future.

Returns

Can I return my product?

Yes! If you want to exchange for a different size, we’ll cover the shipping cost. If you want a refund, follow the return process and the shipping cost will be subtracted from your refund. See our Return Policy.

What is the process for returns or exchanges? 

Please follow our returns process.

Product

What materials are used to make Old Stud products?

We use only full-grain leather on all of our belts & cuffs. Specific studs, stones, crystals, buckles, and gems are all described on product pages.

How are the belts and cuffs made?

All of our pieces are handmade in the U.S.A, out of our Norwalk studio. See our Craftmandship page for more details.

Do you use full-grain leather? 

Always! Full-grain leather is more durable, more breathable, softens over time, and resists cracking.

Are your belts vintage?

Yes and no. All of our designs are inspired by vintage styles, which we’ve accumulated over decades of research. We call this “vintage revival”.


Additionally, we have an archive collection of vintage leather straps which will eventually be designed into one-of-a-kind belts (one size, no two the same) and sold on our vintage page, to come.

Are your belts Eco-Friendly?

Yes! Our leather is chrome-free and tanned using a vegetable-based process that eliminates heavy metals and significantly reduces pollution. All hides are reclaimed by-products of the food industry, helping to minimize waste and avoid the environmental drawbacks of synthetic vegan alternatives.

*Some of our belts feature hand painted leather, which will be specified.

Can I switch the stone or leather color of one of your belts before purchasing?

Yes! All of our belts are made to order, so if you like a style but prefer a different leather or a different color stone, give us a call! 

Keep in mind, the production will likely take longer.

Customized belts are all final sale.

Can I customize or design my own belt?

YES! View our customization page to learn more or contact us to begin the process. 

Customized belts are all final sale.

What is the difference between a grommet and a stud?

A grommet is a metal ring often used to reinforce a hole - leaving the hole open and visible to the eye. 

Studs are decorative embellishments that rise above the leather. We use setters to stamp & hold our studs in place  - we never, ever glue them on.
