Why choose a ratchet belt?

Sometimes you're not quite a size 34 or 36. You're somewhere in the middle. Sometimes you're a 34 in the morning and a 36 after lunch... No more struggling with holes. We got you. With our collection of ratchet belts, you can be whatever size you want to be morning, day, and night. Most ratchet belt believers never want to wear a traditional belt again!

A ratchet belt is called a ratchet belt because of the ratcheting sound that it makes when it is used. The ratchet belt works with a wide metal tooth integrated within the buckle and a track close to the end of the belt. By sliding the strap through the buckle, the metal tooth comes into contact with the track and notches in. The tighter you pull the strap, the further the tooth will notch into the track. The belt is released by pulling forward on a lever at the bottom of the buckle or if there is no lever, by raising the buckle itself. If the belt is notched super tight, you may need to push the belt just a bit tighter while pulling the lever to release the buckle.

• Our ratchet belts adjust in 1/4" increments so it feels infinitely adjustable for just the right fit.
• We make our ratchet belts in sizes so as to minimize waste. Other companies have a one size fits all take where a lot of strap is simply cut and thrown away.
  
• Our belts are designed to be simple, sleek, and sophisticated. You get the big-brand design standards without the big-brand animal cruelty or environmental guilt.
• We choose and use only the best vegan leather for our products. Our founder dedicates his time to hand-selecting everything that goes into these belts. That means high-quality vegan leather and leather alternatives sourced from around the world, made to look good and last a lifetime and high quality buckles.
  
• The craftsmanship we put into every Doshi product, including our vegan leather belts, is second to none. Every belt is handmade by a skilled artisan – they’re truly one-of-a-kind pieces.
• All of our products are rigorously tested for quality. We’re sliding, pulling, tightening, and rapid-fire unfastening to find all the usual (and unusual) problems and fix them before the vegan belt is ever in your hand.
