General

No. We cannot make direct copies of belts from TV or reproduce copyrighted or trademarked material for sale, including logos, likenesses, phrases or other protected elements.

We can, however, create a fully custom handmade belt just for you, using the same materials and techniques used to create TV belts.

To discuss your ideas, please email us at info@pmbelts.com or use our contact form.

The main difference is how the plates are fitted and whether the screws are covered by the backing.

A Send Out Strap is shipped directly to you with pre-punched holes through the strap and backing, allowing you to attach your own plates. The screws remain visible on the back of the strap.

With a full releather, you send your plates to our workshop in Scotland. Paul handcrafts the new real leather strap and backing, with the backing fitted over the rear of the plates so the screws are covered, just like the belts seen on TV.

To access the screws on a replica belt with simulated backing, we recommend using a sharp blade to carefully cut a small square around each screw, taking care not to damage the screw underneath. Once the square has been cut, peel the backing back to reveal the screw, then remove it.

Yes. Our belts and straps are made to order in standard TV-spec styling, but we can also accommodate specific requests such as custom lengths, tooling and other modifications.

Before placing your order, please email us at info@pmbelts.com or use our contact form with details of your requirements. We’ll review your request and advise on what is possible.

If you have a replica that isn’t listed on our site, please email us at info@pmbelts.com or use our contact form. Include some clear photos of the belt and we’ll review it and let you know whether we can make a strap for it.

Orders

As every item is handmade to order, completion times vary depending on the specific item and the current workload in the workshop.

Once your order has been placed, we’ll provide an estimated completion timeframe by email. This is an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date, as completion times can change depending on workload and other factors.

Rush options may be available depending on our current workload and your specific requirements. If you need your order by a particular date, please let us know before placing your order and we’ll confirm whether we can accommodate your request and any additional cost involved.

Please note that rush options are not available for every order and cannot be guaranteed.

For items purchased through our website, we accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as Apple Pay, Google Pay and PayPal.

Custom items ordered outside the website are payable via a PayPal Business invoice, with bank transfer also available on request.

Payment plans are also available. Please see our Payment Plans page for more information.

Almost all of our items are handmade to order. From time to time, however, we may have a selection of “Ready to Ship” items available in our online store, including both brand-new and pre-owned items.

We can also source brand-new, officially licensed replica plates for customers looking to have a belt releathered and customised to their specifications, with the completed belt then shipped directly to you.

Please note that availability of both ready-to-ship items and replica plates can vary.

Shipping

Absolutely. Although PMBelts is based in the UK, we ship orders worldwide.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery location. Delivery times vary depending on the destination and shipping method selected.

Belts and Send Out Straps are securely packaged in sturdy double-wall cardboard boxes with plenty of bubble wrap for protection during transit. Smaller items are shipped in protective envelopes.

We use tracked and insured shipping services. Once your order has been shipped, you’ll receive an email with tracking details so you can follow its progress through to delivery.

Depending on your country, your order may be subject to customs fees, import duties, taxes or other charges when it arrives.

These charges are determined by your local customs and tax authorities and are the customer’s responsibility. They may be payable separately upon import or delivery and are not included in our prices.

PMBelts has no control over the charges applied by authorities in your country.
