Hidden Money Pocket Travel Leather Belt

If you are worried about the Zombie Apocalypse, don't. This belt will get you through it. It will last far longer than the end of the world as we know it. The reason nobody sells belts like this is there would no longer be a market for belts. This will be the last belt of this style you will ever buy. I feel stronger just owning this belt. It is a tool. A tool for life. Guys, if you know your tools then you know the difference between a Craftsman wrench and a Snap-On wrench. This is the collector's edition Snap-On you've been drooling over every week when the truck comes.I have a 48-49 waist and bought the 50" per the sizing chart. Perfect. 7 holes total and I land comfortably in the 3rd hole, the 4th if I'm trying to impress someone. Room to grow or shrink which is perfect because I am always bouncing between 47-49 depending on time of year (looking at you Thanksgiving). This will keep my pants up the whole year through and quite possibly save me when the Zombie Apocalypse comes.

This is one serious hunk of leather - and it's thick. Follow the sizing instructions (see the website if you've any questions). The pocket is very generous, lots of room for folded cash and documents. Makes my old, now torn and defunct money belt look like a cheap piece of junk. I haven't overstated anything. It's a helluva belt.Update: the belt developed a problem with the pocket. I contacted Amazon, but it was beyond the return time limit. Then I contacted Yoder Leather, and after sending some pictures showing the problem, I returned the belt (at my expense, as I bought it on Amazon) and their craftsman MADE ME A NEW ONE, and mailed it to me! This is pride in craftsmanship, and customer service from a bygone era. Support this business and its people, they are the real honest-to-gosh deal. We need more like them.

I ordered my original belt on March 29th, 2019. When I received it I noticed it was split at the tongue. I returned it for the one I have now. After a few weeks, this second belt is splitting in the exact same place. This belt was expensive so I assumed it would be of good quality, I was wrong. I will never buy from this company again.

I got this belt for an unusual purpose: to try the concept of keeping a bucksaw blade inside the zippered compartment. The leather is very thick. The zippered compartment on the inside of the belt is stichted to a piece of thinner leather. Other money belts simply stitch the cloth baking that comes attached to the zipper to the inside of the belt. This belt is better constructed. I was able to put a 24 inch bucksaw (bowsaw) blade inside the compartment and I have been wearing it in various outdoor activities - mostly bushcraft. It is rugged and shows no signs of wear. I have a video on my YouTube channel (sorry Amazon apparently won't let me post a direct link) if you want to see video of the belt in action, search "ways to carry a bucksaw blade" on my channel Bushcraft Ninja. The buckle can be changed easily and all of the brass hardware is very solid and secure. Sorry my photos are lo res - they are screen shots from my video. The belt part starts at around 6 minutes.

I'm in love with this belt and it's very thick heavy duty leather. This belt is going to last me for a very long time. I'm able to hold $2,000 in this belt in 100's and 20's with ease along with printed copies of our passports when traveling. It probably could hold more, but figure $2,000 is a nice number to get us home if my wallet was ever stolen/robbed.

Used this belt for a trip to Southeast Asia. Worked perfectly, the belt is pretty thick, but wore it a lot during my travels and it was actually pretty comfortable. It held plenty of cash, and even though it took a bit folding the cash, it was really pretty convenient. The only problem is that after a month of use, the tip started to separate. I don’t know how much longer the belt will last, but not long enough for the price paid. I’m giving it 4 stars because it did what I bought it for, travelled through airports, bus terminals, boat terminals and a rigors of Southeast Asian jungles. Knocking one star off for the tip separating and not expecting it to last much longer.

This belt is nice and solid construction. I ordered one 2 sizes up from my pants size (like others suggested) and it fit almost perfectly. It is very important to get the right size as the zipper goes from the holes to the belt buckle. So changing it's size would be hard.I had to fold the bills really narrow (about 1/2" tall) but my belt fit about 10 in easily. You could most likely fit twice that number if needed.I used it in France to carry cash, in case we lost our cards or they got canceled. None of that happened but it was nice to know that i had some backup.

the description states it will hold 24 bills, folded lengthwise.no way.the zippered pocket is not wide enough to hold a bill folded once, in half, lengthwise. it will fit a bill folded in thirds lengthwise. folding in thirds makes the bills too fat to fit more than 4 in the pocket, and the pocket is long enough to hold three bills end to end, for a total of twelve bills.however, being folded in thirds makes for a big wad in the pocket of the belt. it just doesn't work.it is a well made leather product. it looks great, feels great.the pocket could easily have been made wide enough to accommodate a bill folded once in half.I don't know if it is a design issue or a quality control issue.I'm retuning it.
