About the Basket Weave Work Belt, XL
- Basket weave strap The leather strap carries a basket weave pattern along its full length.
- Roller buckle A single prong roller buckle lets the strap slide through and set without a fight.
- Strap keeper The keeper holds the loose tail flat so it stays out of your way.
- Plated hardware Heavy-duty plated metal parts resist rust and aging on the buckle and fittings.
This belt is the base layer of your rig. You thread your tool pouches, hammer holder and tape clip onto it, then buckle up and get to work. The single prong roller buckle turns as the strap passes through, so you can cinch it snug in the morning and let it out after lunch. A strap keeper holds the tail flat against the belt.
The strap is natural leather with a basket weave design, and the hardware is heavy-duty plated metal that resists rust. It fits waists from 44 to 54 in. That range leaves room for heavier winter layers over your work clothes. Pouches with a belt loop slide straight on, and there is nothing to sew or rivet before you wear it.
Pick another model if
This is a plain leather belt. It has no padding, no D-rings and no suspender loops, so the full load sits on your hips. If you carry a heavy rig all day, look at the Toolrider Gel Foam Padded Tool Belt instead. If your waist is under 44 in, this XL size will not close tight enough.
Use and care
- Wipe off mud and sawdust with a dry cloth before you hang the belt up.
- Rub in a leather conditioner now and then so the strap stays supple.
- Let a soaked belt air dry away from heaters, since direct heat cracks leather.

What buyers say about the Basket Weave Work Belt, XL
4.3 out of 5 on 257 ratings. Reviews word for word, including the critical ones.
Great Tool Belt
I was a carpenter for years and always had leather tool belts and pouches. After retiring, I have put on some weight, and the single style belt buckle, was slipping past the buckle on an angle. I am remodeling my house, so I needed my gear again. This works great.
Great fits my needs
Great for holding up my tool pouch and the length didn't bother me it has plenty of holes all the way from summer shorts to winter insulated coveralls
Belt
The leather is thin , it is ok for Using occasionally but Dont think it would hold up to every day use.
Basket Weave Work Belt, XL: questions
What waist sizes does the XL fit?
The XL fits waists from 44 to 54 in. Measure over the clothes you actually work in, since winter layers add to your waist size.
Can I hang pouches from other brands on it?
Yes, as long as the pouch has a belt loop wide enough for the strap. Slide the pouch on before you buckle the belt, then set it where your hand falls.
