Check Belt Holes Without Making New Ones
Existing belt holes can be inspected without changing the strap. This is a condition check rather than a guide to adding a new adjustment position.
Read the note ↓
NOTE 01
Establish the product details
Lay the belt on a clean flat surface and use ordinary light. Look at the holes used in normal wear and the surrounding material without pushing a tool through them.
NOTE 02
Make the practical comparison
Record visible stretching, rough edges, or a change from an earlier photograph. Include the location so the concern can be identified in an enquiry. Use a condition note that names the particular working hole and the visible change. If the belt no longer reaches a comfortable supported setting, keep that as a separate sizing issue. Combining the two into one request for an extra hole can skip the more important question of whether the strap is still sound. Ask for an assessment before choosing an alteration.
NOTE 03
Resolve the remaining question
If the working fit is no longer suitable, consult the maker about the supported options. Do not assume an extra hole will preserve the strap’s intended strength or finish.
NOTE 04
Keep a useful reference
Keep the belt out of normal rotation if the condition seems unreliable while awaiting advice. A clear photograph can support a discussion but may not replace an inspection.
Before you go.

Inspect the existing adjustment points without turning the check into an alteration.
What should I establish before starting?
