MS Belts makes championship belts to order in our workshop in Pakistan. The plates are cut and engraved to the design, then finished by hand. You can browse the designs or read how a belt is made.

Yes. An order can be cancelled free of charge within 24 hours of placing it. The refund policy has the full terms.
Zinc alloy as standard, with brass as an upgrade for $100 more. In general, brass is denser, heavier and harder than zinc alloy and costs more, while zinc alloy is lighter, more affordable and takes plating well. See zinc alloy vs brass.
Yes, as a surface layer. The optional 24K gold electroplating is a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plate, and the belt is not solid gold. See gold plating explained.
2 mm is standard, and 4 mm, 6 mm and 8 mm are upgrades at $40 for each step. In general, thicker plates allow deeper relief and weigh more. The plate thickness guide compares them.
Cowhide leather. The strap is about 50 to 51 inches (127 to 130 cm) long and has a snap closure. See the strap: leather and snaps.
The strap has several snap positions, so the fit can be adjusted. Measure around the waist where the belt will sit, over clothing, and write to us before you order if you are unsure. Sizing and care and the belt sizing and fit guide show how to measure.
We do not publish belt weights on this site. In general, brass is heavier than zinc alloy and thicker plates weigh more, as the zinc alloy vs brass guide explains. If weight matters for your order, ask us and we will confirm it in writing.

As general advice, wipe the plates with a dry, soft cloth and keep the leather dry and away from heat. Plating is a surface layer that can wear with abrasion, so keep abrasive polish away from it. See sizing and care and the care, cleaning and storage guide.
