    It's the same as a 4" I believe, you just request 3" width in the comments.

    I notice on Pioneers site they don't have a plain leather 10mm belt - is the thinner 6.5mm one sufficient for SS style training? Or am I better upping it to the 13mm double layer one?

    I currently use a 10mm RDX belt for reference, but it's pretty shitty so not sure how thick any leather is and how much is just suede bulk.

    10mm suede belts are 6-7mm leather, the rest of the thickness is the suede. So, you'd get the same support from a 6.5mm leather belt and a 10mm suede belt.

    13mm belts are the two 6.5mm leather stacks glued and stitched together.

    Sorry guys I thought it was sort of on topic as we were talking about Pioneer but you're right I'm way off! Thanks for the feedback anyway.

    Yea I'm confused now - was planning to get a "nice" 10mm 4" belt, but I prefer the raw leather finish so not sure if I should go for a 6.5mm or stick to the original plan!

    6.5mm of leather is the same support whether you add suede to make 10mm or not. If you want the support of a normal "10mm" belt in plain leather, you just get the 6.5mm.
