i've been doing some searching now for awhile for a good toolbelt w/ quick release buckle.. only problem is finding one that will fit. my waist is a 56 and the biggest one i have found is a 52.
if anyone can help i would be grateful.
i've thought about purchasing a 52 waist one and buying a replacement quick release belt and add it to the original,
is that a good idea or not
all help is welcome thanks in advance Charles
buy 2 of them and clip them together you fat bastard.
Perhaps a visit to a doctor for advice on reducing your weight is the first thing you should do.
A supervised diet and exercise would probable help you reduce your weight and waist size enough in a few weeks to allow a size 52 belt to fit.

Most areas have at least one leather worker or shoe shop that could fix you up with a custom job. Perhaps if you supply the buckle, they can supply the strap portion. Alternatively, they could add an extension of some sort either on the end or spliced in. Ed

Try custom belts at
Correct me if I'm wrong Charles, but you're probably wearing it below the waist like most guy of your size do. If 56" is what you want why not go to a shoe repair place, as hard as that may be to find, and have them add some inches. Without seeing the belt, I would suggest cutting in in the middle and sewing in 4" there.
if i am wearing my regular jeans i wear them above my waist, say a couple of inches about my belly button....also i though about getting a leather tool belt and going to a junk yard and purchasing a seat belt and using that, as i have seen a couple people do that before. .would that be a good idea.
i came to this group for advice...i didnt come here for abuse....
Why not buy a 30 or 34 inch belt and put it around your neck?
You can buy most of the pouch/hanger pieces and then commission a custom belt to hang them on from a leatherworker. Take a look at
"Wide Belt".

Advising you to see your doctor about what is an obvious weight and health problem seems like the best advice you could get. One with so much fat and such thin skin should not ask for any advice concerning their size on newsgroups.
Grow up, and slim down.

I'm not sure if they will have your size, but this company has some GREAT belts and other neat stuff for trades people:
wel for one i didnt ask about concerning my size.. i asked about a tool belt....apparently you dont know the difference. and for two, attacking someone cause of a weight problem is just not called for.
YOUR question was about a tool belt needed because of your SIZE.
Seems you have a fat head too.
Hound Dog
when i said size.. i didnt mean my weight did i jerk....and i didnt deserve the attacks that you and bohemian gave to me
the advice was well recieved...and i appreciate the quick responses.
thanks again
God bless
Charles
Poor little guy, no one understand him, and every one hates him.
Wonder why?
Get lost, if you can possibly find a large enough place to hide, that is.

look here hound dog...i didnt come into this group for abuse..i just needed some general help for a tool belt...so i dont know what your problem with me is...you are the type of person that gets off on abusing others...maybe cause you were verbally abused as a child....am i right?...i thought so...
I had much the same problem with a set of knee pads. Walmart has black elastic in the right size, in the sewing department.
I cut the straps, and then tape measured how much I had to add, and took it to a friend who had a sewing machine. Much better, now.
Another time, I had a tool set which was made of leather. The seams were wearing out (stitched) and took it to a shoe repair shop. Couple days later and about five bucks, and I had my tool set back.
Keep on searching, you've had some good ideas here, along with some real nasty folks who don't have much better to do.
