Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right belt size — is size 38 my waist size?
DeSantis belt sizes typically refer to the overall belt length rather than your exact waist measurement. As a general rule, order a size that is 2 inches larger than your pants waist size — so if you wear 36-inch pants, a size 38 belt is usually the correct fit. Always check the manufacturer's sizing chart if available, and factor in any holster or mag carrier bulk that may require a slightly looser fit.
Is the E25 stiff enough to support a full-size handgun all day?
Yes. The E25's bonded leather and synthetic composite construction, combined with its 3.5mm thickness, makes it significantly stiffer than a standard dress or casual belt. It was originally engineered as an under-belt for NYPD officers, so it is more than capable of supporting a full-size service pistol and holster through a full day of wear without sagging, twisting, or deforming.
Will this belt work with my existing OWB or IWB holster?
The E25 features a standard 1.5-inch width, which is compatible with the vast majority of OWB (outside-the-waistband) and IWB (inside-the-waistband) holsters on the market. Most holster belt slots and clips are designed around this width. If your holster specifies a 1.5-inch belt, the DeSantis E25 will fit and function correctly.
