Made by hand, each and every one by our good friends, The Frigga Green Needle, these are full hide thickness heavy black leather with thong lacing in the front, and huge double prong silver buckle in back. Decorated with silvertone studs and skulls, there will be no mistaking that you are a pirate one would think twice to cross. For ladies it's great alternative to a cincher or bodice, and for men, it's quite beastie looking.  They are made with 11-12 inches of adjustment holes, but to look it's best, you want to pick one with the "TDC" or Top Dead Center as close to your waist size as possible. This keeps the back buckle as close to the center of your back as possible.  Try not to go more than a couple of inches or so one way or the other. Also don't forget to count the the clothing you'll be wearing underneath, waistbands and such.  Looks pretty good with the buckle in the front too!

The "TDC" refers to the waist size with the back buckle sitting at "Top Dead Center" on your back.  It is best to only go a few inches one way or the other to keep the buckle from sitting too far to one side.
